NoE says no Fatal Frame IV in Europe

April 8th, 2009

North American readers, are you still trying to get over the fact that Fatal Frame IV isn’t coming to North America? Well our European friends may soon be dealt the same crushing blow. Word has it that the title won’t even see release in Europe.

Reader discipleinagony has gotten in touch with a Greek product manager has said that the game hasn’t popped up on any retailer list from NoE yet, which definitely doesn’t point to anything good. On top of that, NoE has just issued a statement to SPOnG that says “there are currently no plans to release this game in Europe.”

This is one of those things that Nintendo fans should be extremely riled up over. If Nintendo is going to tell us that they support the core, then they need to give out a detailed explanation as to why Fatal Frame IV isn’t going to be localized.

 

Which makes sense, because Tecmo, not Nintendo, is the one who's putting ads for Fatal Frame in European gaming mags.

Note that Tecmo's logo is in the ad, but Nintendo's isn't.
