Project Zero 2: Wii Edition, known in Japan as Zero ~Shinku no Chou~,[a] is a 2012 survival horror video game developed by 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 series' recurring Camera Obscura. The game includes new endings, and an arcade minigame.

Original director Makoto Shibata and producer Keisuke Kikuchi reprised their roles, creating a remake of Crimson Butterfly using unused concepts from the development of 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.
