I've seen numerous blog and front-page posts about "THE US ISN'T GETTING FATAL FRAME 4" over the last few days, and I'm statrted to get sick of typing the sasme reply over and over, so I'm making this blog to hopefully shut everyone up.

http://www.gamegrep.com/rumor/16143-fatal_frame_iv_is_coming_to_the_us_sometime_soon/

(Please note, this is not my only source, it was just the first one I grabbed because I don't have much time here)

XSEED was asked multiple times if they would publish Fatal Frame 4 in the US. They looked into it, and found out that somebody had already bought the rights, but they couldn't reveal who it was.

Nintendo nor Tecmo has the rights to this game because somebody else already bought them. They just haven't chosen to reveal who they are yet, or to use the rights yet.

So can we stop it with the sob story blogs?

Hopefully it will come, as the wii needs more good titles. And, it's not as if NoA not publishing it means that it will never come to the states. Not like I cared about fatal frame coming to the states (It's not my kind of game, no offense to the fans of the series).
I hope it comes..but then I keep remembering the Wii and revert back to the old ones.

besides, the first 2 were the best from what I understand. I enjoyed the short time I had with 1 and need to finish it.
I'd like to point out that mine went up first and everyone else can f off, copycats.
There's no sob story about it. When both Nintendo and Tecmo tell me, face to face, that they do not know what is going on with the game, it does not bode well. Feel free to argue with that all you want.
You do realize that you just gave us a link that's 5 months old right?

Sorry Gen but you have no case here.
And more importantly, ITS A RUMOR, it doesn't mean anything.
Kyosuke: I wouldn't call word directly from XSEED that -yes, somebody has the rights to this game- a rumor.

And I already admitted I just grabbed the first link that was handy, this was reported in a couple of places as well. As for your 5 months old comment, I don't really see how that's relevant. If the article was a year+ old, you'd have a point, but it's only been a couple months since XSEED made this statement. This still holds weight.

Collette: Yeah, it wouldn't bode well if we didn't already know that neither of them has the production rights to the game anymore.


In any case, this was mostly about the fact that there were like 6-7+ blogs about this exact same topic in a row for two days running now. I was annoyed and wanted to point out this to all the knee-jerk reactionists who were screaming bloody murder at Nintendo for not publishing this game yet when they don't even have the rights to it anymore.
Sadly, by my guess is that Nintendo has the rights, and just isn't telling anyone, and isn't planning on releasing it here.

That's what they did with Disaster, after all.
The tone of your blog implies that the game is coming out someday and your evidence is a statement that's nearly 5 months old filed under a rumor tab.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, Nintendo and Tecmo all but confirmed that it isn't happening, optimism is great but there's a lot of evidence that proves that you're wrong.
Nintendo and Tecmo just said they weren't publishing it. The letter from XSEED says they didn't have the rights anyway. They haven't told us anything we didn't know.

And I'm just saying. Since it's not Nintendo or Tecmo, it's likely that one of the smaller Japan-English publishers picked the game up(Atlus, XSEED, NISA, Mastiff, etc.) We know it's not Atlus since they would have announced it by now, and their translation would likely be done by now. NISA is out of the question since they only tend to grab shitty games from GUST and Idea Factory. XSEED isn't it because they said somebody else got it first.

All I'm saying is that it's still very likely that one of the smaller publishers picked this up and is still working on it, and just haven't said anything about it. Most of them don't.
Hey, some GUST games don't totally suck ;)
Yeah, but NISA isn't translating them. *badum pish*
