Limited Run Games has been bringing digital games to physical media in limited quantity. Their most recent release was Odd World: New and Tasty for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. There has been some buzz on their Twitter over the past month where fans were asking them for a Fatal Frame 5 physical release in North America.
For those who don’t know, Fatal Frame 5 released on the Wii U physically in the European region, but only made it to the eShop in the North American region. Fans urged Nintendo to rethink the digital approach due to the size of the game and the lack of memory on certain Wii U SKUs. We even assisted Operation Zero on their campaign to get fans together to voice their opinion. Sadly, the game stayed a digital-only release in North America.
Now that we have Limited Run Games, many fans have been tweeting them asking for a Fatal Frame 5 physical release. The company had been pretty vague in their responses up until yesterday, when they revealed what seems like a real attempt to try and make this happen:
@Grimsie42 We’re trying to work towards a Fatal Frame 5 release. 🙂
