If you saw the trailer for Spirit Camera, sure thought it was more of a Fatal Frame, but with a different name. Well, actually, may not be so wrong.

Today it was revealed that the original idea was to make a Fatal Frame for Nintendo 3DS, but later the development team had to change direction.

Thanks to an interview was published Iwata Says the news. In fact, Iwata was the same person who declined the proposal of a Fatal Frame laptop, because the franchise was more focused on a console.

“The reason I did not give the nod to the first proposal was that in my mind, horror games should have very good graphics and good sound, then put the darkened room and concentrate on them alone. I felt that if you made a game for the Nintendo 3DS concept based on a console, no matter how many new features you meddle, would be a bland version of a game console, “Iwata said.

Spirit Camera is a completely different experience to Fatal Frame, though somehow follow the same line. For FF fans can rest easy, because soon the new version of Crimson Butterfly for Wii.
