GDC is, well, for developers, so naturally folks attending the event are bound to hear a few things about the Wii U from various industry members.

Kotaku’s Stephen Totilo ran into a financial analyst and a developer today, and shared a couple of things about what he heard.

Totilo wrote:

“Wii U chatter was mixed on day 2. A financial analyst told me Nintendo is screwed. Not enough time to be out on their own. A developer told me their fortunes are mixed. Good ambition on Nintendo’s part, but, well… it’s Nintendo, everyone says it’s on Nintendo for the thing to succeed. Same as it ever was. It’s almost all on them.”

This is just one analyst and one developer, so I wouldn’t be concerned about the quotes above. And I really, really wouldn’t be surprised if the mystery analyst was Wedbush’s Michael Pachter…

Although Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem was well received by critics, the classic GameCube title never lit up the sales charts. Even so, Silicon Knights is open to making a sequel.

Silicon Knights head Denis Dyack provided the following response when asked if “it’s too much to ask” for a new Eternal Darkness game:

“I don’t think it is too much to ask. Certainly we love Eternal Darkness. It’s a project that’s near and dear to our hearts.”

Dyack went on to say that a sequel is “requested a lot by a lot of people” and that “anything’s possible.” He wasn’t willing to say what the studio is working on currently.
