Since it looks like a good game, but it's a 3rd party game....most good 3rd party Wii games don't dare to leave Japan.

hatchimatchi6256d ago

i hope it comes to the states, it looks pretty good from the screenshots and it could definitely provide for some good scares, especially if the sound is done well. Im not getting my hopes up though for a stateside release.

the greatest j-horror movie ever on the wii!!!!!!

sinncross6256d ago

hmmm i dunno, i love the grudge (both american and japanese originals) but this doesn't look awfully amazing.

Besides we all know how the game is going to end... well if u follow the ju-on series anyway.

I smell a cheap, Fatal Frame rip-off!!

SublimingMass6256d ago

i absolutely hated ju-on (the grudge), I've only seen the Japanese version. i watched the movie a year or so before i even heard about the American film. I didn't like it at all, very slow, boring and not scary at all and is the reason i haven't watched the american version.

when i saw "the ring" 1 and 2 i thought they were brilliant (i watched the American version's) then when i watched the Japanese version of the first film it was so terrible i got halfway through before turning it off.

has anyone seen the american version of "Bangkok dangerous"? i loved the original.

sinncross6256d ago

Japanese horror tends to be slower and as well more packed with story.
You would enjoy the typical japanese horror if u enjoy dramas.

as for the Americans rings: ive never been so bored in my life during a film.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai37d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆

Redgrave67d ago

Because it is.

Please re-release this.

SimpleSlave67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.

Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.

Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.

As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
