Nintendo was on a Gamecube Wii-make spree last year with their slate of New Play Control games. Things have since slowed down, but maybe Eternal Darkness will get a second chance on the market.
The rights to the term Eternal Darkness lapsed, but Nintendo re-registered the game's name in North America on February 10, 2010. This may be Nintendo simply protecting the term or perhaps Eternal Darkness is about to make a comeback either in sequel form or as a New Play Control Wii-make.
Got that retro survival horror bug? Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best survival horror games from yesteryear.
Eternal Darkness was way ahead of its time especially for a Nintendo exclusive.
I would love to see a remake or sequel (multiplatform)
4 people love Eternal Darkness.
Quick! Jump on that remake, whoever holds the rights these days.
Spooky season is here again at last and time of the horror game has arrived alongside it. This year has seen the return of some the genre's greatest entires, but both tended to focus more on thrills than they did chills. So, those wanting a bit more of the latter this month would do well to check out at least one of these before Halloween rolls around.
An Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem remaster would certainly "resonate with fans," according to director Denis Dyack.
I have been asking for a remake for Nintendo's next console launch. The sanity system was a very nice touch.
This game wouldn’t work with a simple remaster. I think the sanity system needs a full reboot or remake. I think using the console technology, haptic controls, and mimicking other apps would be real cool.
I agree. I didn't say remaster, because of that. It needs a remake! The article says remaster, and that just wouldn't work. 🙂✌
Same. I think it needs an actual remake not a remaster for it to have the full impact.
Agreed, I'm just imagining what they can do from an audio standpoint with earphone's and directorial audio.
i’m guessing @XiNatsuDragnel is joking, the og game has a trailer for a sequel within it once you reach a certain point to confuse tf out of you lmao
One of the best horror games ever. Nintendo should have capitalized on this. It's still not too late.
Even not being an owner of a current Nintendo console, I for one would love to see this. Preferably a remake, though.
I can dig it. I never played it and would love a Wiimake.
While I wouldn't really love to see a sequel (since the story is wholly complete) I'd like to at least see something in the same universe.
And I'd like to see it on more than a Wii, but no dice. Also looking back, I wish Nintendo hadn't patented the sanity meter thing if they weren't going to ever use it but for a single game. Kind of a waste of a good feature.
Maybe? It'd be an interesting concept to base the sanity meter on one's pulse.
Eternal Darkness is a classic everyone should have in their collection.
But... seriously i doubt it.
