Previously, a Wii U al Marc fatal franchise (known as Project Zero in Europe), Koei Tecmo’s Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water was one of the few titles that really used of the central asymmetric trick of Wii U. This, along with a lukewarm critical reception, made a Switch port seem unlikely: we gave it a 2/10 chance of a Switch port in our round of Wii U games that was not yet on Switch.
The franchise has a devoted and loyal fan base, but Koei Tecmo has made the decision to rework the elements of the Gamepad and bring the game not only to Switch, but to other platforms as well. A very welcome surprise!
