'''''Project Zero 2: Wii Edition''''', known in Japan as {{nihongo foot|'''''Zero ~Shinku no Chou~''''',|{{ruby|零|ゼロ}} 〜眞紅の蝶〜||lit. ''Zero: Deep Crimson Butterfly''|lead=yes|group=lower-alpha}} is a 2012 [[survival horror]] video game developed by [[Koei Tecmo|Tecmo Koei Games]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Wii]]. The game is a remake of ''[[Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly]]'' (2003), following sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura as they are trapped in a ghost-filled village cursed by a failed ritual. Gameplay follows Mio as she explores the village searching for Mayu, fighting hostile ghosts using the ''[[Fatal Frame]]'' series' recurring Camera Obscura. The game includes new endings, and an arcade minigame.
Original director [[Makoto Shibata]] and producer Keisuke Kikuchi reprised their roles, incorporating unused concepts from ''[[Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse]]'' (2008). The gameplay was reworked based on ''Mask of the Lunar Eclipse'', and the characters and environments redesigned. Singer-songwriter [[Tsuki Amano]] returned to provide a new theme song. While released in Japan and PAL regions, it was not released in North America. Journalists generally praised the gameplay alterations compared to the original, but faulted its control scheme and dub.
==Content and gameplay==
''Project Zero 2: Wii Edition'' is a [[survival horror]] in which the player controls Mio Amakura as she searches for her twin sister Mayu in the haunted Minakami Village.<ref name="4Gannouncement"/> The game is a [[Video game remake|remake]] of ''[[Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly]]'', released in 2003 for [[PlayStation 2]] and the following year for [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] with additional content.<ref name="4Gannouncement"/><ref name="PSBps2"/><ref name="GSpyPS2"/> The storyline revolves around Mio and Mayu being drawn into the aftermath of a failed ritual where one twin must sacrifice another to restrain a dark power called the Hellish Abyss.<ref name="FanCrimson"/> The game has six endings, four of them carried over from the original game and its Xbox port. They are unlocked either on different difficulties, watching certain in-game events, or completing battle scenes within a given time limit.{{sfn|Guide|2012|p=102-111}}
Basic gameplay is carried over from the original. Mio explores Minakami Village, solving puzzles and fighting hostile ghosts to progress through the game.<ref name="EuroReview"/> She can pick up progression items and resources including health restoratives and film types serving as ammunition for the ''[[Fatal Frame]]'' series' recurring Camera Obscura. Using the Camera Obscura when ghosts appear, the game switches to a first-person perspective. Greater damage is dealt when a ghost is caught at chose range, in mid-attack, or when multiple ghosts are caught in the same shot. The Camera Obscura can be upgraded using lenses found during the game, and points earned by both defeating hostile ghosts and capturing non-hostile ghosts which briefly appear.<ref name="EuroReview"/><ref name="GSreview"/><ref name="CVGreview"/>
Unlike the overhead fixed-perspective camera of the original, ''Project Zero 2: Wii Edition'' uses an over-the-shoulder camera similar to ''[[Resident Evil 4]]''.<ref name="NLifeReview"/> The controls are adjusted for the [[Wii Remote|Wii Remote and Nunchuck]], incorporating motion control elements for controlling the Camera Obscura and aiming a torch in earlier parts of the game.<ref name="EuroReview"/><ref name="GSreview"/> An element carried over from ''Mask of the Lunar Eclipse'' is the need to hold the action button to interact with objects or pick up items. There is a chance for a ghost attack.<ref name="GSreview"/> A new game mode is "Haunted House", a first-person on-rails experience where players must remain still while holding the Wii controls while ghosts appear to scare the player.<ref name="CVGreview"/>

Following completion of ''[[Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse]]'' (2008) for the [[Wii]], which saw extensive gameplay and design changes compared to earlier ''Fatal Frame'' titles, series creators [[Makoto Shibata]] and Keisuke Kikuchi decided to remake one of the earlier games in the style of ''Mask of the Lunar Eclipse''.{{sfn|Guide|2012|p=48-53}} The team also had several leftover ideas that were not implemented into ''Mask of the Lunar Eclipse'', allowing the team to also expand upon and improve their new systems using the remake.{{sfn|Iwata|2012|p=1}} Production began in 2010 after the team at [[Koei Tecmo|Tecmo Koei Games]] had settled on their production goals. Shibata and Kikuchi returned respectively as lead director and producer. [[Nintendo]]'s Toru Osawa and Toshiharu Izuno were respective co-director and co-producer, and co-programmers.{{sfn|Guide|2012|p=48-53}} Shibata had previously worked with Osawa and Izuno on ''Mask of the Lunar Eclipse''.{{sfn|Iwata|2012|p=1}} The team polished and expanded the "Touch System", where players hold a button to pick up items, to make the experience more unsettling.{{sfn|Guide|2012|p=48-53}}{{sfn|Iwata|2012|p=1}} Due to the change in camera angle, the environment needed to be fully redesigned.{{sfn|Iwata|2012|p=4}} The Haunted House mini-game was included at Shibata's suggestion, going from a mode with ties into the main story to a self-contained bonus mode.{{sfn|Guide|2012|p=48-53}} It partly emerged during testing of the Minakami Village environment.{{sfn|Iwata|2012|p=4}}
The art design was reworked for the remake, with lead characters Mio and Mayu being both reworked and made older and less "cute" under Kikuchi's guidance. The redesigns needed to take the camera angle into account, as Mio would not be seen much from the front outside cutscenes.{{sfn|Iwata|2012|p=3}} The team also included a new ghost character called Kureha, originally intended as playing a role in mini-games.{{sfn|Guide|2012|p=48-53}} New music was composed by Riichiro Kuwabara.<ref name="PZ2wiiMusic"/> [[Tsuki Amano]], who created the original ''Crimson Butterfly'' ending theme "Chou", returned to create a new ending theme "Kurenai". Amano was not surprised when approached by Shibata, as she both knew of the remake's development well in advance and enjoyed working on the series. She had some trouble creating a new theme, reusing the strong motif from "Chou". She described the song as a "little sister" to the original version's theme.<ref name="FamAmano"/>
Kikuchi asked for a new happy ending to be included. Shibata was unable to think up suitable scenarios, so Kikuchi changed his request to a tragic ending. Shibata's concepts were split between the two new endings, "Shadow Festival" and "Frozen Butterfly".{{sfn|Guide|2012|p=48-53}}{{sfn|Guide|2012|p=44-47}} The "Shadow Festival" ending was the happier of the two, as Mio and Mayu were together despite dying in the village. The "Frozen Butterfly" ending, where Mayu goes mad and kills Mio, was intended as the worst possible ending. The "Frozen Butterfly" title referenced a recurring motif in traditional haiku.{{sfn|Guide|2012|p=102-111}} The CGI cutscenes were created by [[Shirogumi]].<ref name="Credits"/>
The game was announced in 2010 under the title ''Zero New Project''.<ref name="4Gannouncement"/> It was released in the region on 28 June 2012.<ref name="PZ2dateJP"/> The game was localized for PAL regions by [[Nintendo of Europe]], with the characters being dubbed by British actors.<ref name="PZ2british"/> The game was released in Australia and New Zealand on 28 June,<ref name="PZ2dateAU"/> and in Europe on 29 June.<ref name="PZ2dateEU"/> The European version released alongside ''[[Spirit Camera]]'', a spin-off for the [[Nintendo 3DS]].<ref name="ProjectZeroWii3DS"/> It was published in all regions by Nintendo.<ref name="PZ2dateJP"/><ref name="PZ2dateAU"/><ref name="PZ2dateEU"/> The game was not released in North America, prompting lobbying attempts by fans inspired by the [[Operation Rainfall]] campaign.<ref name="PZ2Wiina"/>
