Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water review

System: Switch
Release date: October 28, 2021
Developer: Koei Tecmo
Publisher: Koei Tecmo


Perhaps the only thing scarier than Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water – the 2014 entry in Koei Tecmo’s long-running series of horror games about photographing ghosts – is how much time it took for this game to come to modern platforms. Quickly falling out of the spotlight upon the rapid decline of the Wii U, I was cynical about its prospects of being ported to the Switch and thus was pleasantly surprised to see it announced for current consoles earlier this year. But despite possessing a setting and tone that feels special compared to modern day ghost stories, Maiden of Black Water’s deep reliance on the versatility of the Wii U GamePad left me curious to see how it would fair without its second screen. Fortunately, Maiden of Black Water remains a darkly compelling experience that all horror fans owe it to themselves to experience – even if it feels rougher around the edges than it did originally.

Grendizer game

Publisher Microids and developer Endroad today announced that a new game based on Grendizer is in development. It will launch in 2023 for Switch and other platforms.

UFO Robo Grendizer, which goes by Force Five: Grandizer in the US, is a Japanese Super Robot manga and anime from Go Nagai. The upcoming title from Microids will be based on the franchise.

Digimon Survive 2022

Bandai Namco has made it official that Digimon Survive has been delayed to 2022.

This was more or less expected given how there are only a couple of months left in the year. We also heard about the game being delayed back in July stemming from a report in Toei Animation’s financial report.

Here’s a message from producer Habu Kazumasa about Digimon Survive being moved to 2022:

Publisher Modus Games and developer We Create Stuff have shared a release date update on the Switch version of In Sound Mind, their psychological thriller. We now have confirmation that the game has been delayed to 2022 “to ensure maximum psychological unrest upon launch.”

Here’s an overview of In Sound Mind:
