With the Darksiders franchise due to make a triumphant return with Darksiders 3 later this year (a title, sadly, that isn't currently slated for Nintendo Switch), there's never been a better time to get to know the series, its origins, the downfall of original developer Vigil and its eventual revival.
The 90-plus-minute-long documentary is pretty impressive, offering the kind of insight and candid responses we only normally see in a Double Fine-related doc. It's also completely free to enjoy on YouTube, so if you're interested in the behind-the-scenes goings on of one of Wii U's most memorable third-party titles - and you've got some spare time this week - this is definitely worth your time.

Please give Darksiders Warmastered Edition and 2 Deathfinitive Edition for the SWITCH!
Another game not on Switch?
Surprise surprise...
I didn't even know any of them was on a Nintendo platform at all. I still have yet to finish the first one, but I just have too many hobbies, too little time. Darksiders 3 will probably get a "DeFurytive" edition before I get to it
I do love me a good behind the scenes documentary. Will watch this in the near future, and thanks for bringing it to our attention, @Dom
For anyone seeking similar, I'd recommend Noclip's feature-length game documentaries) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0fDG3byEcMtbOqPMymDNbw and Double Fine Adventure, which is a full multiple-hours-long series, and can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/user/DoubleFineProd/playlists
I have a darksiders tattoo! I played darksiders 2 on Wii U and it changed my life #fan4life
Really wish this trilogy was coming to Switch.
(Or perhaps, the eventual quadrilogy.)
Darksiders was one of the best new IP from last gen. I can't wait to play the third.
It kind of upsets me that Darksiders III isn’t coming to Switch (as far as we know, anyway) but I could forgive that (for a while at least) if they would bring the first two games to Switch. There’s no reason whatsoever why they won’t do it.
Of all the avalanche of ports on the Switch, the ones I’m missing the most are the two Darksiders.
I would love to see the Darksiders trilogy on switch
@Yasaal ...yet!
@Leon-mirage ditto. darsiders 1&2 were old zelda clones. 3 might be a new one. instead of evoking past zeldas, it'll be a dark and gothic breath of the wild. seven deadly sins standing in for the divine beasts. her whip as magnesis etc.
@maruse this! I too want these 2 games the most just so much polish and love in these games is unbelievable. The quality of darksiders 3 will defo not run on switch but I too won’t care as long as we get these two games.
I played the first one 5 times in a row lol on every difficulty and il do it again IF it comes to switch
Excited for Darksiders 3. Day 1 buy for me - even without Joe doing the art.
Zero desire to play the old ones on Switch.
I've been lucky that most of the ports that have come to switch I skipped on and gladly purchased for switch. Darksiders on the other hand is a series I very much so enjoy and have beaten both of the original games. So ports of the first two games wouldn't interest me that much unless we also get 3 or they are sold at a reasonable price. (Both games on one switch cart with no downloads for $50 would be ideal)
Darksiders II was one of the first games I got on the Wii U and was my Zelda fix for a very long time, highly under-rated game with great art and beautiful soundtrack to boot
@taffy agreed
