Nintendo Answers Question Regarding Fatal Frame IV's American Release Date

Gothic Girl | August 25, 2008 | News | Wii

Dolphinking of the IGN forums recently sent an email to Nintendo of America asking about Fatal Frame IV's release date and, unfortunately for fans, Nintendo's response isn't good news.
It appears Nintendo have no plans on an American release date at present, and rather confusingly mention that they might have plans on developing/publishing the game in future (despite the game being a third-party title that has already been developed by Tecmo).

While Nintendo's reply was most likely an automatically generated email, it's a shame that Nintendo of America still hasn't any plans for a release in America yet, despite the game having been out in Japan for almost a month now.

Discuss in the Fatal Frame IV forum

quote Nintendo

"Hello,

I can appreciate your interest in Fatal Frame. However, at this time, a Fatal Frame IV game has not been announced for release in North America. If Nintendo decides to develop and publish this game, the news will be posted in our website's "What's New" section (www.nintendo.com/whatsnew). Be sure to check here often for all the latest information and announcements.

Once a game has been officially announced, our website's Game Guide feature (http://www.nintendo.com/games/guide) represents the best place to find the most accurate release dates. Once there, use the questions on the left column to narrow your search based on system. You may also filter your search based on genre, online play, etc. Click on the title of any game to be taken to that game's web page.

Remember, any posted release dates are estimates and subject to change. As a product's estimated release date approaches, you may wish to check with your local retailers to see when it may be available in your area.

Sincerely,

Raymond Chan
Nintendo of America Inc."

While, this information was probably already known by the main public from assumption.
Now it is here for all to see in concrete.

Nintendo is not, at this moment in time even working on Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse for a North American release.
While, this does not mean that it will never get one, it does go to show that at this moment in time they are blind sighting this game.

You know Gothic Girl if you convinced a load of people to ask Nintendo about it the odds of an American release would rise. I am just suggesting this because I am aware you greatly desire the game.

  Lol, it would just be like all the crazy Mother/Earthbound fanatics calling Nintendo and conducting "sieges!" Nintendo would love to have another hardcore fanbase after it.

I half suspect that people are excited enough for this game to warrant the frequent updates that I'm noticing on gameGrep, but the other half of me suspects that Gothic Girl is just a huge fan. :
