Xseed confirmed they will bring Ju-On: The Grudge to North America this October. The announcement came with extra details about the game or “haunted house simulator,” as Xseed describes it.
Players explore creepy locations like a dimly-lit hospital, mannequin factory, and abandoned warehouse. While you’re gripping the Wii remote like a flashlight things try to frighten you.
A neat element in Ju-On: The Grudge is you a friend or mortal enemy can control the scares with another Wii remote. Pushing buttons make in-game events happen. Jun Iwasaki, President of Xseed, says . “Ju-On: The Grudge makes quick scares accessible to anyone with a Wii, players can even hand the Wii Remote to their mother and enjoy watching her play and get scared.” Keep that in mind when Mother’s Day comes around in 2010.
Another tidbit about Ju-On: The Grudge is Feelplus, the studio behind Lost Odyssey and soon Ninety-Nine Nights 2, is the developer. Ju-On: The Grudge will be their first Wii game.
