Well, all I can say is keep em coming! Horror games and other mature games bring balance to the wii as well as some street credit with other gamers. Hey, we can't all be satisfied only playing Nintendo character games!

In a way, most third-party Wii games are "horror" games :-)
Seriously though, it's funny, when it comes to movies, horror is pretty much the only genre I like (particularly Asian horror like Ring, The Grudge, The Eye, etc.) but yet I've never really been interested in horror games. I don't really know why. Fatal Frame does excite me though and I'd be willing to give it a go.

yeah, it's the only thing they'll bother giving us.
The only one I'm even remotely interested in is Mad World (if that counts)

horror games are just amazing. it helps add to the mature library and that's always a plus.

Horror games are great, they are avoided because a lot of people are actually afraid to play them and most certainly this will add to the hardcore titles Wii needs. I think most developers are shooting for horrors right now because as mentioned earlier, the immersion factor when it comes to using objects like a flashlight. In addition, it is probably much easier to build a horror game on the Wii, it won't require that intense of graphics if you're going for a particular "mood" rather than trying to chur some intense graphics out. Either way, keep em coming...
p.s I completely forgot about Sadness, lol let's hope we get some info on that! >.

Heck yeah most times we "cowards" (there are other words for it, but nothing SFW) are afraid to pick these up.
Hell, I've bought and rented a handful of horror games.
The ones I've bought - played them once or twice.
The ones I rented - watched other people play 'em.
:P I'd like to STAY afraid of these things... it makes them more fun.
Now if I can only get around to playing them, y'know, to make 'em fun.

I think one of the first Genre's I thought of when I saw the Wii remote was survival horror.

Fatal Frame looked boring from all the live streams I've seen of it. I'm interested in Dead Rising though :)

Fatal Frame is something that needs to be played to experience fully,
The horror of it isn't quite conveyed in tiny little flash-videos with poor audio

That, and Japanese-horror ain't for everyone.
Many people see horror as "serial killer! OH NOEZ! He's got a chainsaw! Or he's gonna' torture me with something sick!" or "So many zombies everywhere! And I'm running out of bullets!"...
Though, the first example would be more of a thriller, with a mature-gross-out value. The second would be adrenaline-based horror.
And when it comes to zombies, those who complain about speed (aka: Either there's too few zombies, your character moves too slow, or the zombies move so slow that there's no "challenge") don't really see the "horror" in zombies... once again, that's adrenaline-based horror, but more Westernized.
Japanese horror is more mental than anything. Not everyone understands it and not everyone likes it.
So it's not recommended for everyone.
:D I'm a huge fan of it though...
Too bad I can never really make myself pick up the game.
And rule #1 for me: Never play the game in daylight, it ruins the feel for the game.
I'll try my hardest to try and buy the game when it comes out....... I'llll tryyyyyy....

If so. bring DOOM 3 or other DOOM related game, all RESIDENT EVILS REMAKE WITH THE RE4 engine ( I know all of us would love that), ETERNAL DARKNESS 2, NEW SILENT HILL game especially for the wii.

I think the reason that Wii is getting so many horror games is because of the sales of both RE4: Wii Edition and Umbrella Chronicles. I don't think it is the immersion factor or anything like that. The bottom line is that horror sells on Wii and companies take less risk by sticking to a proven genre.

TheOverlord#2 can has Animals Crossing? said...
It's because the hardcore gamers want to be scared by games and casuals also want to be scared by a game because it "reminded me of that movie that I saw once".

The Wii getting horror games means nothing to me. I suck horror games. I become way to pansey to finish them.
