Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse Site Launches in Japan

While I do not think it is the best game series ever created, I do like the Fatal Frame games. While I would prefer to shoot the ghosts with some sort of gun altered to their frequency that vaporizes them painfully instead of taking snapshots of them, each game definitely creeped me out and gave me screaming willies once in a while.

The newest chapter in the franchise is titled Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and is a Wii exclusive slated for a release sometime this Winter in Japan. North American and European dates have yet to be announced but we do know that is a collaborative effort involving a development team consisting of members from Tecmo, Nintendo and Grasshopper Manufacturer. Expect it to be very creepy and visually stunning as the key elements for the game are “memory”, “moon”, “mask,” and the image color for the game is yellow.

Hopefully the Wiimote will not pose an aiming challenge and Mask of the Lunar Eclipse will make a great addition to the franchise.

The new site is in Japanese and unless you can read it or have a great web translator, about all you will be able to do is check out the small pictures and nominal amount of artwork. It is still worth a look though if you are a Fatal Frame fan. We will be sure to keep you posted once we learn more about the game.
