Fatal Frame Wii U Coming to the West
Nintendo has confirmed that Fatal Frame for Wii U is coming to the West.
This doesn’t come as a surprise, as Devil’s Third creator Tomonobu Itagaki recently hinted that Tecmo Koei’s game might make its way to North America.
In Fatal Frame, you’ll play as one of three characters. Each has a storyline to play out at a cursed tourist destination. The gamepad essentially works as the camera, and players can move it around to take pictures of ghosts.

Deadpool R Rating Confirmed
Ryan Reynolds has confirmed that his currently shooting Deadpool standalone film will be rated R. And he's done so in the best April Fools joke way possible. Watch:
It all started this morning when Reynolds tweeted what seemed to be an indication of something that many fans of the character have feared: That the film would be toned down for a PG-13 rating:
A PG-13 #deadpool will still have 4th wall breaking, a shit-ton of action and at least 3 chimichangas. Zero need to panic. I promise.

Cox on a Daredevil Appearance in Civil War: ‘I Haven’t Got That Call’
Among certain corners of the internet, speculation has been brewing that we might see Charlie Cox's Daredevil in Anthony and Joe Russo's Captain America: Civil War. It makes sense - the first season of Marvel's Daredevil has wrapped, while Civil War has just begun filming. Surely there's room for a cameo from the blind superhero?
Talking with us on the eve of Netflix's launch in Australia, Cox said that while loves the idea, he hasn't received "that call" yet
"I've been reading Civil War - and Daredevil does appear in that," said Cox." And look - again, just to clarify - I have not been called about that. I haven't been invited to that party! But it would be very very cool. Just to be in the background, saying cool stuff every now and then. It would be cool to be with all those guys."
