Hmm, true. But then again, the first three weren't exactly major sellers on the PS2/Xbox/360, either. Especially FF3 (probably due to Tecmo only distributing like… 6 copies). Which is truly unfortunate; they're really top of the class as far as horror games go in my opinion.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe they'll fix the controls and release the game toward the end of the year. Or maybe next year…it'd get slaughtered by NSMB Wii and Wii Sports Resort this year.

Agh! Now that you mention it, I do recall that. That's just in regards to the US/EU releases, though, isn't it? Or am I delusional?

...Since it's under Nintendo's armpit (as sweet smelling as it is), I guess we won't see a port to any other system regardless, unless they work around it somehow like with the Ninja Gaiden Sigma games.

I'm a dreamer, but I can't afford more than one system/accessories/games at a time. Not just money, but time, too. =)

Actually, Tecmo said a while back that Nintendo hold the right to Fatal Frame 4 (since they published it in Japan), and that they're the ones holding it back. It's out of Tecmo's control…I'm sure they'd love to release it. :/

I remember demos of this game were being taken down every time they were uploaded on youtube.
From those videos it looked very creepy. And dolls just scare the daylights out of me.

Ah, good question! Calling is a full blown survival horror game. It's not going to be like Ju-on.

Does this look like it will have more substance than XSeed's Ju-On? I remember you saying Ju-On was similar to an interactive haunted house and I was hoping this was similar to a typical horror game.

Yeah, looks Fatal Frame-tastic. What's Tecmo waiting for? =P I am impatient as there really aren't a whole lot of these horror games anymore. Resident Evil has left the playing field, Silent Hill has lost its touch..

damnit I want Fatal Frame 4. I don't care about these horrors. I want FF to be release.
