While we were busy drinking at the Tecmo party at Tokyo Game Show, the Ziff Davis team were doing some real work. 1UP has learned that the next title in the Fatal Frame series will be coming to none other than Nintendo's console, the Wii. Even more surprising, the title will be in the development hands of Grasshopper Manufacture, the Suda 51-led team responsible for the upcoming No More Heroes.
Fatal Frame's picture snapping game mechanic seems perfect for Nintendo's system, with its motion controls and easy "point-and-click" interface. 1UP makes note that Fatal Frame 3 producer Keisuke Kikuchi had expressed interest in bringing the series to a more powerful system. We're not sure if this is quite what he had in mind, but someone at Tecmo seems to think otherwise.
Full development on the game is set to start when Suda 51 and company finish work on No More Heroes, which is set to ship in Japan later this year. Looks like it could be a while before Fatal Frame and Pokemon Snap fans get their fix.

DO WANT!
That shit freaks me out.
OH! I just did it again!
now if this game is any good.....
Oh, BTW, Spin magazine already has a review of Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles out. Didn't think too highly, but did like the Graphics.
Now how did SPIN magazine get ahold of RE: Umbrella Chronicles.
Oh, and the song "Umbrella" by Rihanna needs to be in this game.
Yeah, I'm a pussy like that.
I think it rather might be a question of design, where the earlier games were made for the analog stick, that with the wii-remote there's a necessary to knock the formula up a notch. As with MP:3, while it stays true to the series the action had to be changed to fit the new controller. Loosen up, this might just make it even more panicky?
Also, I fucking love Suda 51. I can't wait for this.
I'd rather buy a ps3 than have my favourite horror series on the wii.
At least one of my favourite series is actually coming to the Wii.
I always wanted to try this series but missed out on it 'cause I didn't have a PS2 at the time. Also, it's good to see at least some indication that the Wii is getting third-party support beyond the mini-game scene.
Perhaps this is in response to RE4 and Obscure 2 being released for Wii (two games similar in dark horror style). Wii needs a walk on the darkside, to contrast that sugary images its been branded with.
Very welcome, guess I'll have to pick up the previous Fatal Frames on PS2 now.
