Kotaku.com spotted the re-upping for the trade mark of the highly lauded GameCube title, Eternal Darkness. That means ... what, exactly? Nintendo is considering a new title for the Wii? Can you imagine motion control to deal with Sanity effects? Or is this just Nintendo squatting on the trademark to keep it eternally in the dark? The conjecture can drive you insane.
Like Kotaku says, maybe the big N will reveal something at their media summit next week. That is doubtful, but thinking about a new title like this from Nintendo, with an M rating like the original, can send shivers down your spine.

How devilishly enticing of you!
Is this a new trademark or a renewal of the old one? Luigi's Mansion was a new trademark rather than a renewal, if I recall correctly, so... who knows. Hopefully these are new titles because Wii needs a "second generation", I think.
If they simply make a shoddy New Play Control port instead of a proper sequel, consider me angry.
Awsome! This better be a new one.
Thanks. Even hearing about a slight possibility of getting a sequel for ED, makes me happier than couple of moths full of real games on every system combined. Now I can start dreaming of mad nightmares again.
They better not be making me salivate over rehash.
I'm not sure that would be considered "something very special". While I know that some people would go crazy (no pun intended), it's not really something that Nintendo would use for an epic reveal.
if it is a new onme it wont be made by Silicon Knights they said that nintendo doesn't care enough about storys in games so they wont be working with nintendo again
and with working with microsoft and selling out that doesn't help
Wow i totatlly forgot about this game. I remember how amazing it was. I hope they revive the series, man.
i'm in for another eternal darkness game
After looking at it myself, it appears N's prior trademark expired in December for failure to renew. Just two months later they filed this new application. I'd chalk this up to poor trademark portfolio oversight and not any new forthcoming game.
Let's hope for a sequel.
Eternal Darkness come back ! Take away my sanity again =p (one of the coolest games I´ve played)
I'd really like to see something done with thevtitle, whether it be an updated port or a new game/sequel.
Great game. Unfortunatly I think that rather than a new game Nintendo is just protecting the name and trademark so the game can't appear on another console. I'd like to be proven wrong but I won't be getting my hopes up
I'm thinkin' they're gonna involve the use of that little finger-sensor thing...to track the player's heartbeat/pulse and have that reflected in the game. I'm sure many of you have already thought of that...but thought I'd post it anyways.
I loved the original, as much as I'd like a new one, I have serious doubts Nintendo will ever revisit this.
Give it to Konami to play with!
I never played the first one but I might hold off on playing the GC version if this is a "New Play Control!" revisit... but yeah, It probably isn't.
Yay I hope it's real! I loved the first Eternal Darkness!
The secret ending was a bit confusing. Maybe Mantorok will be the villian. Either way I think Vitality sensor would be perfect for this game.
