Super Smash Brothers Brawl doesn’t make me bring out my ‘haven’t touch in months’ dusty Wii, neither does Mario Kart Wii or even Wii Fit. Throw Fatal Frame IV at my face and you see the Wii appear next to my table in a split second. Even if I don’t, my girlfriend would make it appear in a split second. Believe me.

Overjoyed to hear that Fatal Frame IV will be released in Japan in July 31st and even more ‘joygasm’ when I read that the game might be out in the US at the end of the year, it instantly goes into my ‘must have’, ‘must buy’ and ‘will kill to play‘ list.

Having said that, I haven’t been reading anything regarding the game hence I have no idea how it would end up. Apparently Nintendo played a heavy role in the game development, together with Shibata Mokoto (Tecmo) and Goichi Suda (Grasshopper Manufacture, No More Heroes). The thoughts of having anyone else other than Tecmo to develop the game kinda worries me, especially when they have no prior experience in survival horror genre.

I’m just being skeptical. Judging by the screenshots, the game seems to be looking good and fulfills 3 out of the 4 main points; hot looking female protagonist, eerie surroundings and creepy ghosts. Now all we need is for the story to be as good as the previous 3 games.

Regardless, I will definitely pick this game up when it’s out, crap or not.
