Fatal Frame new game

According to Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse producer Yutaka Fukaya, a brand new entry in the series is a possibility for the future.

The franchise has been going through a bit of a renaissance as of late. After Fatal Frame was missing in action for several years, Koei Tecmo brought back Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water for modern platforms in 2021. That’s now being followed up with a remaster of the Wii title Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, which is leaving Japan for the first time.

Game Boy GBA Switch Online schedule

Nintendo has commented on the release schedule for Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games on Nintendo Switch Online – of which there really isn’t one.

A Nintendo Direct this week revealed additions of both systems for the service. Anyone with an active Switch Online subscription can access Game Boy titles now. The same goes for Game Boy Advance, though you need to subscribe specifically to the Expansion Pack tier for that one.

Following the February 2023 Nintendo Direct, we want your reactions and thoughts about the presentation.

A ton of games were shown in the event that was about 40 minutes along. From Nintendo itself, one of the major reveals was Metroid Prime Remastered, which immediately released. We also got new looks at Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Pikmin 4. On top of that, Game Boy and Game Boy Advance have joined Nintendo Switch Online. Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp will finally launch in April following previous delays.

Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe is just on the horizon, and retailers are now starting to reveal pre-order bonuses for the game. We’ll keep this post updated with any new information on that front leading up to launch.

The Mecha and Sand Abilities make their debuts, while the Festival Ability makes a comeback from Kirby Star Allies. Subgames are back from the original Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, but there are also new ones like Magolor’s Tome Trackers.

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom survey details

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom received its latest trailer this week, but Nintendo has been very careful in which it’s choosing to show. Even though the game is just a few months out, there’s not a ton we know. It’ll naturally be a follow-up to Breath of the Wild and that alone should give us a decent idea as to what we can expect, but fans are interested in finding out how the sequel will set itself apart.

Hints of what Tears of the Kingdom will have to offer have now been spotted via a Nintendo survey that went out this week. A couple of Reddit users say that this was emailed to them (once in France, another presumably in the UK).
