New Rhythm Heaven and Fatal Frame titles totally teased photo

All this 3DS news is great and all, and I'm totally excited about Mega Man Legends 3D and the new Resident Evil stuff, but on my end, the biggest reveal from tonight's Nintendo Conference was actually related to Nintendo's other system.

This newly posted gallery of upcoming Wii games on Nintendo of Japan's official site clearly names a new Rhythm Tengoku (known as Rhythm Heaven outside of Japan) and a new Fatal Frame game (which looks a lot like a remake or sequel to Fatal Frame 2). It's not to big of a shock to see Rhythm Heaven go to the Wii, seeing as Rhythm Tengoku Gold sold so well in Japan. As for Fatal Frame, I honestly didn't see that coming, but I guess it's not that weird. Fatal Frame 4 on the Wii did go on to become the best selling game in the series, at least, for the one country that it was released for.

Nintendo of America will potentially pass on one, or even both, of these new games, just as the passed on the original Rhythm Tengoku on the GBA, and Fatal Frame 4 on the Wii. Thank God for kick ass fans like the guys who did the Fatal Frame translation patch, which requires absolutely no previous modding of you console. As always, dedicated Nintendo fans will to do what Nintend-wont.

Yeah, I went there, though not quite to the same extent that Sega did in the 90's. Oh, and there are more screens in the gallery. Fatal Frame looks awesome!

I desperately want a U.S. release for that Fatal Frame game, I miss that series terribly. And yes, that does look like Mio and Mayu.

This is why I love Holmes, he post about these two games, that I very much hope don't get over looked by NOA. Those Fatal Frame shots look great.

Yeah, I'd say it's a remake of Fatal Frame/Project Zero II. I can't really see them adding anything else to that part of the saga without alienating a new-found audience.

Rhythm heaven was fun but I wouldn't say it was worth the money. Fatal frame looks good but it has to actually leave japan. Go nintendo go

@ Idrawrobots- And the reason I love you is that you actually care when I post about games like this.

@ llorthet- Did you play Rhythm Tengoku on the GBA? It was even better than Rhythm Heaven.

And I full confidence that the fans will make sure we get this Fatal Frame, even if Nintendo lets us down. Did you play the Fatal Frame 4 patch? It's pretty amazing.

Theres not a doubt in my mind thats Mio and Mayu,
Which leads me to believe its a remake because... well you know... spoilers :P

Seeing as I've never played Fatal Frame at all (trying to find an import of FF4, however) I would probably prefer having a remake of what people consider the best game in the series over a new one, as there's no guarantee of quality when you make a sequel.

That being said...

OH GOD NEW RHYTHM TENGOKU I WANT IT IN MEEEEE.

If this does not make it outside of Japan... !!!

At first I was pissed about ANOTHER Fatal Frame not coming here, but that just looks like a rerelease of Fatal Frame II, which has already come here. If it's a new game then count me pissed, but if it's just a rerelease it won't sting nearly as much.

I want both of these. Nintendo and Tecmo better bring the next Fatal Frame over -- I don't want to import again.

Agreed, i'd prefer an official release of Fatal Frame, but even if it doesn't happen we're likely get an unofficial fan made one.

I'm still gutted that Fatal Frame 4 never came out in Europe, despite the fact it's still listed on Play as a pre-order under "date yet to be confirmed". It's a shame, because after Silent Hill: Shattered Memories I'd love another survival horror fix, and I know Fatal Frame 4, or this new Fatal Frame game cold satiate my hunger for Hithcockian camera angles and scares.
