Admins Please Note That This Post Here Could Not Fit in The One Above

Well Some More Details Have Surfaced Online About This Game And Here They Are:

- takes place on Rougetsutou island (ficitional)
- setting is a half-western half-Japanese hotel. Hotel was previously a sanatorium.
- mystical ceremony was performed every 10 years to worship the moon, but ceremonies stopped for unknown reasons
- 5 young girls were abducted and taken to the island, but were recovered by a detective. None of the girls remember what happened on the island
- story takes place several years later when 3 girls return to the island to try and figure out what happened
- 3 girls are the main characters
- subtitle “Mask of the Lunar Eclipse” refers to a mask used during the ritual that erases memories
- concept remains the same as the rest of the series, but gameplay has been ‘dramatically improved’
- Move the character with the nunchuk, direct the flashlight with the remote
- pointer is not used, just the motions of moving a flashlight
- Third Person, behind-the-back camera
- walk/run while moving the flashlight around
- eastern and western influences were used because they better flow with the type of camera, and make the game flow better

- character has been sped up, walks more quickly. This is due to complaints about earlier installments in the series
- vibration, Wiimote speaker used to further enhance the experience
- Nintendo/Grasshopper/Tecmo collaboration worked well, but it was hard to take into account all the differing opinions.
- full of bonus content
- dev team says this is easily the best entry in the series.

So who's more excited for the game? Coz I am

Edit/Update

So we all know that Nintendo pretty much didn't know about this game at E3 and the game is only 5 days away from release in Japan.

Well Tecmo who are part of the developing team with Suda51 have sent out the following PR Message:

Several of you asked about Tecmo’s other titles that have been announced in Japan which were not on display at the show. Fatal Frame 4 (Wii) will be published by Nintendo, so please contact your Nintendo PR contact for further information. Rygar: The Battle of Argus (Wii) is in development and we are planning to provide more information this fall.

That's probably why they haven't announced a US/PAL release as they are fixing up the glitches

Apparantly the controls suck. You dont point the wii-mote at the screen to aim the camera...you move the camera left and right with the control stick, and waggle the wii-mote to move it up and down.

The camera controls alone made me not care about this game anymore...

I think the control concept is actually good.

I know this is old, but it's still disappointing there's no news on an Aus release. Watched some gameplay demos in English using the Japanese version of the game on YouTube and I think the wiimote camera could be problematic - but I certainly want to give it a try myself.

Old thread I know, but I didn't think this was worthy of news or it's own thread.

Anyway, a release date has supposedly been set for Fatal Frame VI for Europe - February 6th, 2009.
Here's a little more info:

Well, not much info...

I tried looking online for a more credible source in order to post as news, but couldn't find anything other than forums.

Can't wait til it's released here. That's the only reason I want a Wii.
Famitsu apparently gave it a 34/40 rating.

This is a fantastic game! The experience is great and in fact enhanced by not understanding a word. One of the best Wii games I have played. The production, graphics and especially the sound effects is something to truely enjoy from the Wii. Get it!
