Will Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water be a digital-only release in North America? That’s what some people are speculating.
Nintendo recently added Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water to its North American site. The thing is, the game page has an eShop symbol rather than a boxart or even a temporary placeholder boxart.
Does this mean that Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water will only be available digitally in North America? Only time will tell.

Nintendo reportedly asked Criterion to make an F-Zero game for Wii U
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Rumors, Wii U | 30 Comments
Nintendo Life reports that back in 2011, Nintendo reached out to Criterion, creators of the Burnout franchise, to work on a pitch for an F-Zero that would be shown at E3 that year, with the game itself launching in 2012 alongside the Wii U. Unfortunately, Criterion weren’t able to commit to it as they were too busy with their own series.
While this isn’t official information, Liam Robertson, known for his work with Unseen64, usually is pretty accurate in his reports.

Takahashi on Xenoblade X, next game in development, wants Monolith Soft to grow, more
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 36 Comments
GamesBeat has published a fairly lengthy interview with Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi. Takahashi talked about Xenoblade Chronicles X in-depth, confirmed that his next title is in the works, expressed interest in expanding Monolith Soft, and more.
We have a good chuck of the interview rounded up below. The full discussion can be read here.
On being anxious about getting Xenoblade Chronicles X out in North America…
Takahashi: Yeah, although there’s still quite a lot left for us to do. We’ve announced a release date and everything, but all we can see is a looming deadline.
On how Xenoblade Chronicles X is a deliberate successor, and if Takahashi wanted to make the story more closely grounded to reality…
Takahashi: The simplest answer, probably, is that I felt like, after working on a fantasy setting, it might be nice to try something new. Science fiction is a great change of pace. It’s a really interesting flavor.
On the challenge in bringing an RPG franchise to HD for the first time…
Takahashi: Probably the biggest challenge for us comes in the planning stage, where we have to think about how we’re going to use these limited resources — I’m talking mostly about time on the schedule — to create all the assets in such a huge world. What order do we need to take tasks in to accomplish them all in the most efficient way? There’s a lot of tech that goes into expressing the open world concept as well, making sure that it’s a seamless experience from one end to the other. That’s probably the biggest challenge.
