Nintendo has filed a fifth extension for the Eternal Darkness IP.

That begs the question: what does the trademark update mean? Well, it could be nothing at all. Given the state of Silicon Knights at the moment, the studio would unlikely be making a new entry in the franchise. The only other way Nintendo could be revisiting Eternal Darkness is if it handed off the IP for another developer… which would also be unlikely at this point.

And so this could simply be a standard trademark move for Nintendo.

edit2: Yup, back to $10! Sorry about that, folks.

edit: It has been reported by a commenter down below that that game is back to its regular $10 price point. Unfortunately I can’t confirm that myself because I already bought the game so instead of a price tag it just says “Purchased”. Can anyone double-confirm?

There’s a sneaky sale happening on the Wii U eShop at this very moment. Little Inferno can be purchased for just $5. At launch, the game was priced at $15, so this is a pretty big bargain. We’re not sure how long the sale will be in effect for, so buy it cheap while you can!

It has taken over a decade for Nintendo to come out with a second Luigi’s Mansion game in Dark Moon. Nintendo is not, however, making the game themselves. Next Level Games is handing the primary development of the 3DS title.

Next Level Games’ Bryce Holliday recently spoke about the need to “respect the original developers and the fans” when it comes to “sequelling or bringing back a franchise”. At the same time, he acknowledged that “you can also figure out what’s different from then to now, and one of the big differences is the hardware has changed.”

“When you’re sequelling or bringing back a franchise, you need to respect the original developers and the fans of the product. But you can also figure out what’s different from then to now, and one of the big differences is the hardware has changed.”


Maybe this is why LEGO City: Undercover requires an external hard drive in order to initiate a download from the eShop.

The new Wii U game seems to take up a massive amount of space. LEGO City’s file size clocks in at 22GB or so – an unpredictably high figure.

Of course, you could always opt for the retail version of LEGO City. You won’t have to worry about hard drive space if you choose this option.

Kotaku has published a very interesting and insightful article about the working relationship between the folks at Next Level Games and Nintendo. The two companies needed to come together for the development of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon.

We’ve picked out a bunch of quotes below, but be sure to read the full piece here. Topics include Next Level not knowing which system it would be making Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon for initially, 3D and multiplayer experiments with the original GameCube title, Nintendo’s rules for Luigi, why the character can’t jump in the Luigi’s Mansion games, and more.


Unfortunately, the newly revealed Saints Row 4 won’t be heading to Wii U. Publisher Deep Silver confirmed to Joystiq that the company has no intentions of bringing the game to Nintendo’s console. If you’re interested in the next Saints Row, you’ll need to pick it up on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, or PC.

A new update is now available for New Super Mario Bros. U. It’s nothing too major – it basically cross-posts all messages to the new “Game Posts” Miiverse community.
