Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse(or its Japanese title, Zero: Tsukihami no Kamen) was never released outside of Japan, right? Lazy people at Nintendo...according to Wikipedia it was the best sold game in the series so why did they decide not to translate it? I don't see any good reason, do you?
Well, never mind that, a group of fans have found a way to patch the Japanese disc with full English text. Yes, the unthinkable has happened, and this patch doesn't use any of the Wii's current homebrew hacks. All you have to do is download the patch (Google it!), store it on an SD card and run the game. The patch will fool the Wii into thinking all the English text is being read from the game disc. It even bypasses the region lock!
Music to the fans' ears, but imagine what this trick could be used for in future games *wants Pokepark Wii to be patched in English*
Hmm...I wonder what's going on....Lately every major bestseller game I know that originated from Japan just ceased to release them internationally or on PC. Like Street Fighter IV refused to release it on PC & some other games, if not many others....Even with common sense they should know that even though there are more chances on pirated stuff on PC but it doesn't hurt to earn a few more bucks on the PC version since their games are already bestsellers, if they would just release it! I wonder what's going on. Either it's just Japan's great devotion to art & not business or it's some kind of disturbing trend...
ReplyDeleteDamn I love this game it's very nice and awesome.
ReplyDeleteI read that they didn't release the game out side Japan because it had many glitches and the company refused to fix them
