Team Ninja shared a neat tidbit about Fatal Frame: The Black Haired Shrine Maiden on Twitter late last week. Following the Wii U game’s announcement, the studio said that it makes use of some tech from Dead or Alive 5.

A translation of the tweet reads:

“While you may have noticed after watching the video, the latest Fatal Frame game that was announced the other day uses some technology from Dead or Alive 5!”

What sort of tech Team Ninja was referring to is unknown at this time.

Areal, West Games’ spiritual successor to S.T.A.L.K.E.R., has reached its goal on Kickstarter. The campaign flied passed the $50,000 target over the weekend – raising an extra $12,000 in the process – despite the addition of only two new backers.

The oddities don’t end there, strangely enough. On Saturday, West Games shared a typed and signed letter it had received from someone claiming to be Russian president Vladimir Putin.

“We thought at first that there’s no way that this is legit, because we are a Ukrainian studio for the most part, and it’s probably the usual trolls trying to deceive us, but then when we looked at it closely, we started thinking that it might be real.”
