Project Zero 2/Fatal Frame 2’s Wii Release Date Is Closer Than You Thought
Two years ago it was announced that Fatal Frame 2, also known as Project Zero 2 would be coming to the Nintendo Wii. Well, the classic horror game is coming, only not to America. Many of you are usually a little upset when we announce a contest and it’s US only. Well, it’s payback time for you. On June 28th the game hits Japan and on June 29th it hits Europe. So America gets bitch slapped with no FF2! You win some you lose some I guess. That wont stop me from spreading the word to you lucky readers who get to play the Wii version. Head past the break for the trailer, and more info about the switch over to the Wii.
Project Zero 2 will be fully Wii compatible, use your Wiimote as your flashlight as you explore and shit your pants. Also if you get too scared when reaching out to open a door you can release your grip and let off the A button to back off, and proceed to pee yourself. Also exclusive to the Wii version is the Haunted House Mode. The Haunted House mode is almost exactly the same as the failed experiment that was the Ju-On game. So don’t expect it to be great, focus on the main game.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
