XSeed announce JU-ON: The Grudge for Wii

Remember that game Feel? Wrong name apparently but none the less its heading our way.

Another day another release from XSeed about them being so kind and bringing over another obscure Japanese game, but we love them for it. JU-ON: The Grudge (previously known incorrectly as FEEL) will be heading to American shores later this year in October. The title is inspired by the Japanese classic horror movie, “JU-ON”, on which the American release of the hit horror film “The Grudge” was based upon. JU-ON: The Grudge for Wii is a “Haunted House Simulator” where accessibility and instant scares are given priority over all other game aspects, with the original creator of the movie, Takashi Shimizu, serving as a creative consultant to game development.

”Ever since I first heard about this unique concept, this is a game that I’ve been looking forward to,” said Jun Iwasaki, President of XSEED Games. “JU-ON: The Grudge makes quick scares accessible to anyone with a Wii, players can even hand the Wii Remote to their mother and enjoy watching her play and get scared.”

JU-ON is played by using the Wii Remote as a flash light as you move throw many fairly dubious lit locations such as a warehouse, hospital and of all places a mannequin factory, the game also has a “co-op” mode, though whether the co-operation aspect is in tact is debateable – the second players objective it to trigger events in a bid to scare the main player!
