During an AMA (“ask me anything”) on reddit last night, Precursor Games executive Shawn Jackson was asked whether or not we could see Shadow of the Eternals (a spiritual successor to Gamecube hit Eternal Darkness) come out even if the Kickstarter didn’t reach his goal. His response:

As their campaign has only reached $270,000 of their $1.5M goal, things aren’t looking great for the project as it stands right now. Unless something big happens and people get on board, we probably won’t see a spiritual sequel to Eternal Darkness anytime soon, despite how much clamoring we had for one.

Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure may be releasing on September 24. A “source close to publisher Warner Bros.” provided Nintendo World Report with the date, but it “could change.”

Last year’s Scribblenauts, Scribblenauts Unlimited, shipped in November. The series’ first entry came out in September, so I suppose anything is possible.

In an interview with GameSpot, Deus Ex and Epic Mickey designer Warren Spector weighed in on the Wii U’s struggles over the past few months.

Spector made note of his enthusiasm for Nintendo, and said that “you underestimate them at your peril.”

Spector stated:

“I’ve been pretty upfront about my enthusiasm for Nintendo. I think we need a company that’s dedicated to games. Every time I visit Nintendo, I’m relieved to have spent time in a place where you can just feel how much everyone loves games. And, really, how many times have people written Nintendo off? I think you underestimate them at your peril.”

Vigil had plenty of ideas for a third Darksiders game. Primarily, the team had kicked around the idea of making a four-player co-op game with all four Horsemen. Darksiders I and II let players take control of War and Death respectively.

Former Vigil creative director Joe Madureira told IGN:

“It was always our hope to do a full four-player co-op game, with all four Horsemen playable. It’s possible we could have pulled it off. I would have liked to introduce Fury and Strife. I know many fans feel robbed that they never got to play the last two Horsemen.”

“E3Insider”, the official “hub” of the expo, has mentioned Call of Duty: Ghosts for Wii U.

Activision has flat out refused to confirm the first-person shooter for the console, despite the fact that all other versions of the game have been announced – including next-gen platforms.

The E3Insider site lists Wii U alongside the previously confirmed PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC versions.

Genius Sonority has created two Denpa Men games thus far. How about a third? If people play and enjoy The Denpa Men 2, executive director Chihiro Kobayashi says that the studio would “sure like to make a another”.

Another topic recently addressed by Kobayashi is the Wii U. Genius Sonority doesn’t have any plans for the console currently, but it is “strongly interested” in the console.
