Trivia / Fatal Frame

• Acting for Two:
  • The cast for the third game in English and Japanese has a small pool of actors.
  • The second game does the same for Mayu and Sae, as well as for Mio and Yae. Both pairs are always voiced by the same Japanese and English voice actress, even in the remake.
• The Danza: In the fifth game, Haruka Momose is voiced by Haruka Tomatsu.
• Development Hell: The alleged movie. Spielberg apparently has the rights, but it doesn't sound like there's a script written at all.
  • Thankfully now averted, with a Japanese movie released in September 2014 as well as a Hollywood version on the way.
• Network to the Rescue: After the flop of the third game, Tecmo opted to put the series on hold for a period of time. Sometime after Tecmo merged with Koei to create Koei Tecmo, Nintendo came forward to help continue the series as a co-developer.
• No Export for You
  • The Wii version of fourth game never came out of Japan due a combination of abysmal sales of the previous installment and notable bugs that neither Koei Tecmo or Nintendo were interested in fixing, leaving a Fan Translation patch as the only way to play is for over a decade, until a multiplatform Updated Re-release came out in 2023.
  • The Wii remake of II only released in Japan and Europe.
