Nintendo Switch

March 9th looking good for horror game fans. Fatal Frame, Ib, and Paranormasight



Seems we’ve got three games releasing all on the same day:

* [Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse](https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/fatal-frame-mask-of-the-lunar-eclipse-switch/) \– The fourth game of the Fatal Frame series, in which you’ve gotta defend yourself from ghosts with a haunted camera. This was a Wii title that never released in English back in the day, so it’s great to see it finally release outside of Japan.
* [Ib](https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/ib-switch/) \– A classic RPGmaker horror title, and one of my favorites from back in the day. This is one I can recommend even to those who scare easily because it’s more about the mood than actual frights. Some great puzzles, nice pixel art, memorable characters, and engaging little story.
* [Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo](https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/paranormasight-the-seven-mysteries-of-honjo-switch/) \– Don’t know much about this one, but it looks to be a horror visual novel from Square Enix, and is releasing at a lower price than I expected. I’m all about those spooky curse stories from Japan, and the 360 degree exploration seems neat.

Good horror games are always a bit harder to come by than other genres, so it’s interesting to see three release all at once!

    Interesting that Pananormasight was the only one of the three to ask me to age verify to see the game page! And it is on sale – tempting.

  2. SillySarcasm

    I’m so excited and looking forward to Ib. I might import a physical copy.

    Ib is a great title if you want to get into RPG Maker horror games. One of the few that made the genre back in the day up there with Angels of Death, Misao, Mad Father, and The Witch’s House

    Jesus, what **isn’t happening** in March 9th? It feels like every company chose this specific date for their releases or presentations some reason.

    MAR9 looking good to lots of people in gaming this year

    Meh. Tell me when anybody bothers to port dead space to switch

    Excited to try some of these out! Not on March 9th, but Dredge seems like a fun horror-esque game coming out at the end of the month too.

  8. Bring_Hope

    PARANORMASIGHT looks so good honestly. I think I’ll take it especially with the sale

  9. cokezerodesuka

    Every time I play a Fatal Frame game it ends up not being scary at all… but I still keep buying and playing them

    Paranormasight looks really interesting. The sale is live until something like March 22nd, so I’m awaiting reviews before I pull the trigger. Fatal Frame IV looks great, but I’ll wait a sale (Koei Tecmo are super stingy with their sales, though…).

  11. Paranormasight looks very interesting and promising! After the failure of Forspoken and Babylon’s Fall, Square Enix only makes budget horror games.

  12. TeamMagmaGrunt

    Is Fatal Frame getting a physical release?

  13. Upper_Investigator65

    With Ib release, we are just lacking Misao (and the original Yume Nikki) to have the complete Indie RPG Maker Horror pack on Switch. Good times.

    The fatal frame series is the absolute tits. It’s the only survival horror series that has genuinely creeper me out and made me “what the fuck!?” Out loud.

    Can’t remember which one it is but you go down a staircase, hear a thump behind you, and a ghost with a broken neck comes skittering at you like a fucking spider. One of the few times I shit myself at a videogame.

    I’m wishlisting this one I think.

  15. Square have been spamming my email about Paranormasight and it’s actually worked, I might check it out

  16. What I’m actually looking forward to on March 9 is Agarest War.

    IBIBIBIBIBIBIBIBIBIBIBIBIB YAS cuz reasons ill watch ppl play fatalframe tho ;o

    So a bad month for me? Not a fan of scaring myself shitless. Haha.

    I remember the Zombi U demo. I could not complete it.

  19. rambozurc

    Just bought a switch so definitely looking forward to paranormasight !! I’ve also been on the hunt for a new game so this helps

  20. Yesnikh4003

    Would absolutely love a Fatal Frame original trilogy on modern consoles, physical or digital!

    Picked up paranormasight. Absolutely excellent. If you enjoyed death mark or raging loop, I would argue it is better.
