With this game’s fan-translation patch now out, a lot of people are looking to import a copy of Fatal Frame IV, since this homebrew hack won’t work with pirated versions. The patch is really clever that way, and it’s made so you can use it without installing any extra hardware on your Wii — just copy the patch onto an SD card, run the patch installer, insert the imported game, and play!
Now, the problem is that with demand for Japanese copies so high, Play Asia is already out of stock and is apparently informing customers that it does not plan to replenish its supply. A few other import sites still have copies, but they’re very expensive:
Note that those prices do not include shipping and handling. With HMV, for example, you still need to pay tax and around $13.36 to deliver it to the U.S. You also have the option of buying from eBay, but as of posting, there are currently no copies listead on the auction site. There’s a guide book, though, with a starting price of $50.

Unsatisfied with Nintendo’s refusal to bring Fatal Frame IV to the West (released in Japan in July 2008), a team of fans localized the game themselves. You can download the English patch for free, though you’ll need a retail Fatal Frame 4 disc to make it work.
Here’s a video of someone playing through Fatal Frame IV’s first eight minutes with the patch applied:

tags / fatal frame iv / translation / homebrew / patch / teco— Nintendo of Europe discussing its cancelled plans to publish Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse across the Atlantic. I hoped to import this, what with its U.S. release unlikely, but that’s no longer an option. I’ll have to settle for these great Japanese commercials.
In other horror game news, have you watched the trailer for Renegade Kid’s Dementium 2 yet?
The studio (or the ad agency it hired) did a great job making the title look scary! The game is a first-person shooter, though, and not a video with shots of sterile hospital rooms, so this doesn’t guarantee that Dementium 2’s atmosphere will reach this same level of creepiness.
So, we’ll see!

tags / europe / fatal frame iv / tecmo / renegade kid / dementium / ecNintendo of America has since then decided not to publish the title in North America – consequently, the title will not be released in this territory.
As the owner of the IP, Tecmo feels very unfortunate that the fans of the series in North America will not have a chance to play the game, but respects the final decision made by Nintendo of America.”
— Tecmo representative breaking the news that Fatal Frame IV will likely not release in North America.
I’m not the type who’s easily aggravated by decisions like these, but real talk, this is on some ol’ bullshit.
