One of the surprise announcements during the recent Nintendo Direct presentation is that Fatal Frame 2 is getting a remake. It’s been a long time since the original game made its debut and technology has come a very long way. One thing that the team really wanted to do in the original was have the two sisters be able to hold hands during scary segments, but due to technical limitations at the time they just couldn’t accomplish it. Now with Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake they have finally made their dream a reality.
“We added a new element: holding hands with your sister, Mayu,” Shibata says. “By doing this, the story, but also the action and the bond between the sisters is further developed.”
“We were exploring this possibility 20 years ago, but we gave up on it for a number of reasons. This full remake gave us the perfect opportunity to revisit this option.”
