Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water censored in US

Yup. You’ve read that right. Fatal Frame, rated M for Mature in the US, has been censored in the form of having risque outfits removed from the game – because adults can’t make decisions, right?

The outfits in question are unlockable bikinis and I struggle to see why they’re an issue, especially as they’re entirely optional. Thankfully, according to reports, the EU version has seen them left intact which raises the question as to why Nintendo think they’re fine for one region and not another. Maybe Nintendo deemed them too scary.

Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water releases in North America (where it’s known as Fatal Frame) on 22nd October and the 30th October in Europe, perfect for Halloween. Early review scores have been mixed but I’m still excited to play it.

I’ve been gaming since a very young age and although I can’t remember my very first game, I fondly remember enjoying Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and being giddy with joy once I beat Dr. Robotnik. My all-time favourite game is a tie between Persona 4 Golden and Final Fantasy IX. As you may have noticed, I have a love for JRPG’s although I dabble in all genres. My favourite genres are fighters, visual novels and, of course, JRPG’s. Follow me on Twitter @mitchjaylineham, and check me out on Open Critic as Mitch Jay.
