Rumor: Nintendo now co-owns Fatal Frame IP
Fatal Frame/Project Zero has found itself a new home on Nintendo systems as of late. Actually, the series has only appeared on Wii for the past several years.
Fatal Frame IV hit Japanese Wiis in 2008. A remake of Fatal Frame 2 will be arriving in Japan and Europe next week.
Given the platform choice for Fatal Frame’s most recent recent entries, it comes as no surprise that Nintendo is now rumored to be the co-owner of the IP. Developer Tecmo Koei also has a stake in the franchise.
This rumor is based on an apparent copyright update discovery which additionally shows that the company has the full rights to Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, a 3DS spinoff of the Fatal Frame series. Nintendo nor Tecmo Koei has officially confirmed the IP’s status.
