I wish somebody had thought to make these photos export to the SD card. How can game devs ignore something so blindingly obvious. The Wii is stuck in such a terrible position: the vast majority of Wii owners has no idea what it can do, and the vast majority of Wii game makers never bother to leverage all it could do. So in the great arms race between the Wii and the PS3 and the 360, the Wii comes off even worse. The Wii has a dead-simple mechanism for sending photos to friends (even if the method for identifying friends is embarrassingly flawed), and yet very few games utilize it.
I love this shot of an angry Ayako. As Rougetsu Hall's resident problem child, her backstory is one of the best-remembered moments of the game for me.
Typical vanishing ghost stunt. You turn a corner, the game goes batshit on you with the warning that there's a ghost nearby, you wheel around and jump out of your skin when you see Ayako peeking around the doorframe.
A much better shot of that lurching lady ghost.
Aw, it's Madoka. I miss her.
Extreme close-up of Watashi, Kageri's life-size mannequin meant to represent her dead sister. Of course, everybody's dead now, and post-Day Without Suffering, Watashi can walk around on her own.
Incidentally, here's an interview with the team who created the patch that makes Fatal Frame 4 playable on non-Japanese Wiis.
