    Exclamation Nintendo secures co-ownership of Fatal Frame series

    Now unlikely to appear on other consoles.



    Seems that, changes to the copyright status of the Fatal Frame franchise suggest Nintendo now owns a significant share in the horror series.

    According to a report, Nintendo now has full ownership of the spin-off "Spirit Camera" as well as co-ownership of Fatal Frame (AKA Project Zero) alongside Tecmo Koei.

    The platform holder now has the publishing rights to any game in the franchise, which makes it unlikely we’ll see a new Fatal Frame game outside of Nintendo consoles – or that we’ll see independent effort to bring across the patchily localised series.
    That's right, the series started back in 2001 on the PS2 and Xbox and spawned four core entires.

    A Wii version of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly called Project Zero 2: Wii Edition will arrive on June 29 in Europe.

    Sadly, there won't be a NA release. Also, the latest entry, "Zero: Tsukihami no Kamen" AKA "Fatal Frame 4", which also released exclusively on Wii, has not been localised.

    nintendo claim ownership to a game already released on other systems, yet again nintendo one step behind giving licence to a game we have already played, rather than getting ownership of a game we havent.

    oh lovely. more of the same from nintendo. a series which hasn't been really that great to begin with and only mildly amusing with its second outing. (but of course the fanboys will call it a classic and eat up a nintendo re-re-release).

    they arent claiming anything, they now own half the ip of what is pretty much the only remaining survival horror franchise, something that some of us were only talking about a couple of days ago, a franchise that previously went from ps2 (1 + 2) to xbox (1 + 2) then back to ps2 (3) and then onto wii (4) and now 3ds (spirit camera) and wii again (2 remake) so if its not to be multi platform i'd guess that 5 will be a wii u exclusive which would suck for fans of the series.


    we now know the Xbox One's game licensing policy was written from the ground up for companies. It's aggressively anti-consumer and anti-middle class, and it outright ignores underprivileged gamers. It's gross, despicable, greedy, pathetic, cowardly and out of touch with a growing global resentment for corporations. - Polygon 7th June 2013

    On the plus side, at least it's proof that Nintendo are willing to cater to a more adult market. I guess they saw that there is practically no competition int he genre anymore so snapped up the only pedigree left. I bet some idiot will now claim the games are kiddies games now to console himself that his illusions to hide his jealousy are further being proved untrue. You never know this may be incentive for other developers to enter the genre to fill the vacum on the other formats, well I live in hope, I'd hate to see it go the way of space dog fighter genre (12 years on and still nothing to replace Freespace )
    My gaming systems -
    Consoles - Wii, Xbox 360 Elite, Xbox 360 Jtag Jasper 2TB 3.5" HDD, PS3 60GB UK launch version, PS3 hacked with 500GB 3.5" HDD (2TB wouldn't work ).

    My new Next Gen Console - i7 4770k@4.7GHZ + H100i, ASRock Z87E-ITX, Gigabyte Radeon HD7970 GHZ Edition, 16GB Corsair Dominator PLATINUM 1866@2400, Crucial m4 256GB mSATA SSD, 1GB WD Caviar Black, 64GB OCZ Agility 3 SRT cache. All in a red Bitfenix Prodigy.

    the only remaining survival horror franchise 1 2 and 3 i played and was ace, never played it on the wii because ive said many times its wiimote annoys me.

    but still, nintendo sourcing ownership to a very old game franchise, will this be to replace what they did with SK on the GC, promise them games, release one, and never use em again.

    it does sound nice that theyre offering adult games, but ive tasted this before, at launch or for its first year, yes great adult games, but after that you seem more kids games and have mayne one adult game per year.

    be nice to see nintendo release a new ip, something fresh.
