Immediately following the news of Fatal Frame IV likely never receiving a US release, we got in contact with Nintendo and asked several questions concerning the statements made by Tecmo about Fatal Frame IV, and whether or not more factors were at play in the decision. It's been a week now and we got an answer back from Nintendo on the subject.

Unfortunately I don't have a comment for you at this point, but if one comes down the pipeline, I'll be sure to send it your way.

So, where does this leave us? From the sound of the statement and amount of time it took to get an answer, I would say Nintendo of America isn't quite sure what to make of the situation right now. Did they get caught in lie? Or did Tecmo point the blame finger at Nintendo of America a little too quickly? Let's hope we get more information about Fatal Frame IV at E3 or during some E3 interview sessions with Nintendo of America representatives.

If we hear from Nintendo concerning a new statement regarding the Fatal Frame IV, we'll be sure to let you know. Stay tuned.
