Nintendo has renewed the trademark for the cult classic, Eternal Darkness. This could be an indication that Nintendo is prepping a sequel for the Wii U or the 3DS. It was rumored a while back that Silicon Knights, had a working build of the sequel, but was canned. Perhaps Nintendo has reunited with the fallen developer one last time.
BagoGames: The Nintendo Switch is going to be fully revealed tomorrow at 8 p.m. PST and we can’t wait to hear about what is in store. However, there are some games we’re hoping they’ll announce during the event or in the very near future.
Sadly Persona 5 won't happen...maybe Persona 5 golden? But why Eternal Darkness 2, every time they've tried to bring that sequel back to life nobody backs them and then mocks them, then begs for the sequel...I'd be cool but the least we could maybe get is the Gamecube VC. Mario Sunshine 2 would be amazing!
Why would Nintendo get the copyright back then? I think they may develop the title themselves, not go to Silicon Knights, they're dead in the water. Maybe put the Luigi's Mansion team on it!
Looking forward to awsome JRPGs on the Switch and possibly a Kingdom Hearts game!
Ray, Michael, and Geoff go over the Top 10 "We Need A Sequel/Remake" Games in this week's Countdown.
Nintendo have continued their quiet campaign to keep firm grip of the Eternal Darkness trademark, following last June’s re-filing comes a request of a time extension.
If they're filing for this kind of extension then it's pretty clear Nintendo has no plans to release a new title in the series for quite a while.
But it definitely means they want to do something with it eventually. And that's what matters.
I have a feeling we'll be seeing a sequel... Fatal Frame is already in development... another mature game like this is definitely on the cards.
Nintendo is apparently building a hefty amount of exclusive ammunition for Wii U, Fatal Frame is like next year and maybe they announce sequel for Eternal Darkness at E3 2015 or as early by end of this year...
You mean that Disney film that wasn't actually animated by Disney and was outsourced to Korea? Where they just modified the Rapunzel model to make the models for the two sisters? With character archetypes that Disney has used so many times it's a wonder that cow still produces milk?
Yeah, let's all quote THAT film.
Lmfao! I wish I knew what you was talking about, comes off as a great reply!
Funny gif. Fatneal..
Anyway.. Nintendo bring it!
Didn't you just pretty much say what Activision is doing with COD right now? At least Frozen went back to Disney's roots and got children singing again rather than brainwashing them with the Croods. Regardless, Nintendo is trying to bring games to the mature audiences. Far cry from the last few years. I am glad to see them trying to right this wrong and Bayonetta, Devils Third, Fatal Frame, and now this are all a start in the right direction.
I was so hoping that Nintendo was working with Precursor Games to bring Shadow of the Eternal exclusive to WiiU.
Then they could just give them the rights to the name (since it is a sequel anyway).
I'm still pissed at nintendo for not releasing Fatal Frame games in the States.
Obviously,
Iwata hears my whining.
I hope that they do something epic... uhm er... do something Crytek with the Eternal Darkness franchise.
I want Silicon Knights and Dennis Dyack Resurrected and back under the loving arms of Nintendo.
- But 1st,
I hope they can pay-off the Epic's "unreal" Lawsuit settlement with Eternal Darkness 2 and maybe some ED1 (HD)?
:) woooooo
I think if all of us went to the Nintendo FB or Official and end all of our comments with "Eternal Darkness 2" or "E.D. HD!" Nintendo would do something with the renewal.
Ahh yeah!!!! 3:33 baby!
