Fans Localize Fatal Frame 4

[Mike McC]

About Nintendo hating money... Has any of the prior three Fatal Frames sold particularly well in the US, or is it a very niche title?

Really, you gotta crunch the numbers before you go about declaring a company to be so evil and stupid because they won't publish your very niche title.

Earthbound tanked, though. It was a flop. Only later did it develop a cult following. However, there's no proof that this cult following was enough to make localizing Mother 3 profitable.
