    Nintendo now co-owns the intellectual property rights to Project Zero – known as Fatal Frame in North America – according to a report on Rely On Horror. Nintendo apparently added Tecmo's spooktacular franchise to its list of copyrights. Furthermore, it appears that Nintendo wholly owns the IP for Spirit Camera, the Fatal Frame spin-off recently released on the 3DS. The company also has ownership and publishing rights for Project Zero 2: Wii Edition, which is slated to hit Europe later this year (still no North American announcement for that one).Nintendo has been tied to the Fatal Frame series for a few years now, publishing the two Fatal Frame games mentioned above as well as Fatal Frame 4, which was never released outside of Japan. Given Nintendo's penchant for extra screens, and Fatal Frame's reliance on capturing ghosts with cameras, the partnership makes sense. Now just give us one on the Wii U, please.

    The sequel to Tecmo's survival horror series has been revamped for the Xbox to include an all-new first person mode-which is actually much more effective than the standard third-person view. Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly is a slow-paced freak fest, that isn't interested in thrilling players with over-the-top gore or zombie-capping action. No, in fact the only weapon at your disposal is a camera. And as a pre-teen twin girl, you're not exactly the leading candidate for kicking ghostly-ass. "If you love movies like The Ring and want a truly creepy experience, this is your game"(IGN). Just be sure you're close to a light switch...
