Nintendo isn’t going to allow Fatal Frame IV to come to North America or Europe. I still don’t know why this decision was made. Looks like that leaves us with two options…learn Japanese, or use the fan translation. Surprisingly, the fan translation is moving along at a fevered-pace! Check out the status updates below to see how far along things have come.

It’s sad that this is the only way we can go about getting the game, but I also think it’s great to see the fan community coming together like this. Thanks to Oricon for the heads up!
