Written and directed by No More Heroes mastermind Goichi Suda and part of a popular horror series, its still a mystery why Fatal Frame 4: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse was never released outside of Japan. Maybe it’s because it didn’t fit the Wii’s family friendly image, or maybe Fatal Frame III didn’t sell as well as expected. Only Nintendo knows for sure.
Nintendo’s decision to withhold release of Fatal Frame 4 from Western release didn’t sit well with fans, so a group of them has produced an English patch that translates the game for players in North America and Europe.
