Forums - Nintendo - eShop Only? No Retail Release for Fatal Frame on Wii U?

It's so that you can't hide it from your loved ones.

Yeah it's a miracle that we are still getting these games in our countries, I mean, I don't even understand why Koei Tecmo is still making these games, are they really profitable ?



Sad thing is Fatal Frame is cult series (it's sales numbers make this pretty clear) and Nintendo probably got the rights to the series on the cheap. I am not certain but I question Nintendo's faith in the series as whole. The weird part is they at least made an E3 trailer for it (if you go on the Eshop and look at all E3 trailers you can find) which ismore than devils 3rd got. Although if I found out there was some behind the scenes drama with vahalla I would not be surprised.

I don't understand why Nintendo bought the rights to the series.

I always prefer physical over digital, but with the Wii U having such limited storage it's almost a necessity to release a retail disc.

if this is true, then hopefully they're going to release a limited amount of physical copies.

Ugh... Not exactly what I want to see, honestly.



it is better than not getting it at all like people thought would be the case before



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

its the best thing to do for a niche title.

if there's no physical then i will hold off on buying it for quite sometime and just wait for a big price drop on eshop. Which wont happen for a long time sadly

Digital is probably what I hate most about the gaming industry's direction. Normally I would never buy digital only games, I even imported the U.K. version of Wolfenstein the old blood on PS4 just to have the physical copy(at launch is was digital only for North America). But I will have no choice for this because I'm not buying a U.K. Wii U and I don't want to see Fatal Frame go under.
