Tecmo: Nintendo has declined to publish Fatal Frame IV in North America, won’t be released
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
“Nintendo holds the publishing rights to ‘Fatal Frame Wii,’ which was developed by Tecmo LTD. and Grasshopper Manufacture and released in Japan on July 31, 2008. Nintendo of America has since then decided not to publish the title in North America – consequently, the title will not be released in this territory. As the owner of the IP, Tecmo feels very unfortunate that the fans of the series in North America will not have a chance to play the game, but respects the final decision made by Nintendo of America.” – Tecmo spokesperson
Looks like something fishy is going on here. You may remember that Reggie Fils-Aime stated a few months back that Nintendo “is not the publisher” of Fatal Frame IV in North America. But apparently, the onus is all on them to see the game come stateside. All I can say is – There will be some very disappointed Nintendo fans if this game doesn’t see a North American release – myself included!

Wii video service will be “different,” could extend to DS
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 9 Comments
It was announced a few months ago that the Wii would soon be receiving a video service from the big N. Now Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has expressed possible interest in extending the service to the DS and has reaffirmed that it may arrive in overseas territories.
“If the Wii and the DS are connected, it should be possible to download video through the Wii and take it with you on the DS…When the service begins, you’ll see how we’re going to do it differently in a Nintendo-like way. There are a lot of on-demand video services, so there’s no reason to do the same thing, so we’re going to do something different. We’ll start the service in Japan, and if it does well, we’d like to take it overseas. [Nintendo wants to make the Wii] something that people will turn on even if they don’t have a purpose in mind. We’re not there yet though, and there are a lot of things we have to do to achieve that.”
Thanks to Jake for the news tip.
