Nintendo Now Has Three Years To Use Eternal Darkness Or Lose The Trademark

 

It has come to light that Nintendo now has three years to use the Eternal Darkness IP or it could lose the trademark. The information was uncovered via a USPTO TSDR. Nintendo has been renewing the Eternal Darkness trademark for years, but has yet to announce a new game based on the acclaimed IP.

Thanks Mike S and Retrogaminglord

Loved this game back in the day! Hopefully Nintendo makes something out of it since this game was legit scary

Eternal Darkness was one of my favorite Gamecube games. Still have the game and strategy guide I bought back in 2004. The sequel would be an awesome game to have on Wii U as an exclusive.



Not sure how it would sell if they made a sequel..



I hope this means one has been in development for at least a couple of months but hoping for an almost ready to be released game :P

I bet on then realeasing a hd colletion just to avoid to lose the ip.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

The first one didn't sell very well, and it's spiritual successor failed on kickstarter twice, I don't think the IP is worth very much anymore.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

maybe yes, but Nintendo need new game and a sequel of ED will move Wii U Stock

Not sure a single game can be called a collection

Having said that, I would robably buy a graphically updated remake as that was the main drawback of ED versus REmake

the reasons I see why it failed was because it was an episodic game plus Dennis being involved


personally I wasn't interested because of it being an episodic game
