Fatal Frame series producer says Nintendo has the final say on a new Fatal Frame or remasters heading to Switch

Sounds like there's quite a few hurdles

Would you like to see a brand-new Fatal Frame entry on the Switch? How about a remaster of Fatal Frame 2, or Fatal Frame 4, which never saw release in the states? These all sound like good ideas to series producer Keisuke Kikuchi, but he's not in a position to make that happen.

In an interview with NintendoEverything, Kikuchi talks about interest in all the ideas mentioned above, but makes it very clear that these things could only happen with Nintendo's blessing. On top of that, even if Nintendo gave the go-ahead, Kikuchi is quite busy with other projects at the moment. Check out his full response below.

...even though I have these hopes, this is a series that Nintendo publishes for us and I only handle the development. So even if I were to say I want to make another game, that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s what will happen.

...As for Fatal Frame 2 and 4, Nintendo handles the publishing rights, so we don’t exactly have a say in that matter. Another factor would be is that I’m basically overseeing the Gust brand at this moment, and to secure production lines and team members, in the short-term it would also be very difficult, but in the long run I’ve never really given up the idea. So in the short-term it’s not exactly realistic at the moment.
