That's my problem, NoA didn't even try with Fatal Frame. I could understand a decision like that if it were based on poor sales of the Wii games in NA, but in this case they just decided that the series was going to sell poorly before giving it a real chance.

To be fair to them, the series has been given multiple chances and sold poorly every time.  So to say they never gave the series a chance is very misleading statement.

It's not misleading, from the three main entries available on Nintendo's consoles, NoA didn't bring Fatal Frame II and IV to America, while V was released as a digital-only title, the series wasn't given any chances at all. We only have the spin-off, Spirit Camera, and if I were to trust VGChartz numbers half of the units sold were sold in North America.

I agree with your other point though, and while I still don't like it at least it was a digital release done right. And that's it, I'll stop here, it's a review thread and I don't want to derail it more than I already did.
