Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water sees the return of a series that has been dormant since Mask of the Lunar Eclipse’s release in 2008 for Wii. Sure, there have been a few spinoffs since then – most notably Spirit Camera on 3DS back in 2012 – but it’s been a while since we’ve seen any mainline entries, especially considering Maiden of Black Water would be the first Fatal Frame released outside of Japan since Fatal Frame III: The Tormented in 2005. Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water takes a different approach mechanically and gameplay-wise than any of the other releases in the franchise, yet it still very much stays true to form delivering a great horror experience that we seldom see on Nintendo consoles.
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water removes the risque outfits
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 178 Comments
When Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water originally arrived in Japan, the game featured some risque outfits that could be unlocked for the various characters. In North America, all signs point to these having being removed.
Things are slightly less clear when it comes to Europe (where it’s known as Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water). Some reviews suggest that the original costumes have been left in tact, while others indicate the opposite. We should know for sure sometime within the next few days as more players get their hands on the game.

Last week, the Japanese Hyrule Warriors Twitter account teased news about the upcoming 3DS game. Famitsu followed through by revealing a couple of new characters. We now know that Skull Kid will be playable, and Phantom Ganon will be appearing as a boss.
The mischievous imp Skull Kid uses an ocarina as his main tool. Famitsu describes him as a demon who stole the hero’s ocarina from a parallel world and then placed the curse of the mask upon him. He may be violent and love pranks, but deep in his heart he treasures his friends. Using the ocarina, he fights alongside fairies.
