Club Nintendo’s 3DS game card case has been out of stock for awhile now. But on Wednesday, a new batch of units will be available for members.

Nintendo of America confirmed on its Twitter account that the case will be returning on December 19:

“The Nintendo #3DS Game Card Case returns to #ClubNintendo on Dec 19.”

Club Nintendo users will be able to “purchase” the 3DS game card case for 250 coins.

Samurai Warriors: Chronicles, the first series entry on the 3DS, sold 50,000 units in its first week in Japan. It went on to sell nearly 150,000 copies.

The half-follow up Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 2nd shifted 34,000 units in its first week. Although Tecmo Koei hasn’t shared up-to-date sales figures, series producer Hisashi Koinuma is pleased with total sales and hinted that the team may soon be able to think about the next project in the franchise.

Koinuma wrote on Twitter:

“I cannot begin to express how overjoyed I am that [Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 2nd] has continued to sell to the year’s end. Thank you! Just a bit more in sales, and we can start thinking about the next game, so please keep at it!”

NeoGAF member “Mama Robotnik” has written up a brilliant feature on Silicon Knights. The post goes well into detail regarding the studio’s early times, debacles, and cancelled projects.

Much has been said about Silicon Knight’s Eternal Darkness 2 (perhaps one of the studio’s most-anticipated yet not-officially-announced projects), but we’ve never seen any assets from the game. Screenshots have never popped up online, nor have concept arts of any kind.

Thanks to some findings by Mama Robotnik, we may finally have some renders/art from Eternal Darkness 2. A former Silicon Knights 3D character artist included the images below in a couple of folders that could very well be from the game.

The purple creature in particular was probably created for Eternal Darkness 2 based on the fact that Mantorok was the only surviving ancient. The other ancients were able to create red/blue/green undead monsters, so Mantorok would have likely made his own purple soldiers in the sequel.
