The Fatal Frame series has always had pretty box-art, but let's face it, most of them don't portray what the games are about, and some don't even seem to indicate what genre they belong to.

Today, Amazon's Japanese site revealed the official box-art for Fatal Frame IV and it's definitely one of the best boxes in the series. It's simple, eerie, and gives us a glimpse of what we'll be facing. Quite appropriate for such horror series.

Let's hope America and PAL regions get a similar styled box!

    It looks mysterious....the House size symbolizes the game content, and the fog the mysteries and secrets it brings.

    It's almost as *bleep*ing creepy as the second game's boxart.

    Now hopefully the game can live up to all the hype Gothic Girl is giving it.

      I hope so! I'd hate to get people hyped for the game, only for it to end up sucking. >_>

      On the bright side, it's being released in Japan in a few weeks, so we will get some reviews and hands-on impressions soon.

      Perhaps Tecmo should pay her royalties for pushing it on GG. ;D

    Don't have a Wii, don't plan to get one. Unfortunate, because I really liked the other Fatal Frame games.

    Since you are such a huge fan, Gothic Girl, did you ever read the Fatal Frame 3 doujinshi compilation (published into a single book)? It was great stuff.

      Nah, I haven't read it.
      I've only read parts of the FF2 manga (i think it's the official one?). I'd love to get my hands on any of the manga/doujinshis that are around though.

        My roommate translated this and said it was supposed to be an official publication, in which artists were invited to draw the comics based on the 3rd game. Some of them were supposed to be serious, and explored other aspects of the story. Most of them were hilarious little shorts, though. Like Rei looking for things in her boyfriend's room, and finding his porn collection, then you see her chasing his ghost with a camera, screaming for an explanation.

        Or Miku unable to sleep because Rei keeps tormenting her to look at more photos. xD

    Very epic box art. Kind of reminds me of Spirited Away.
