North America, at least...

Nintendo of America has made the surprise announcement that it will be releasing Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir in the continent this spring.

The game is a 3DS spin-off of Tecmo's acclaimed Fatal Frame horror franchise, notorious as of late for Nintendo's refusal to release the latest main game Fatal Frame IV - a Wii exclusive - outside of Japan. Spirit Camera makes heavy use of the system's camera to tie in with the classic Fatal Frame theme.

The game let's the player's own photos taken with the 3DS camera to be incorporated into the game's world. Spirit Camera will also come with a 16-page augmented reality booklet, known as the "diary of faces", which serves as a 'gateway' into the game's haunting world.

There's no word of a European release as of yet. For more information on the game, head over to the official site.
