Probably none. But it means they want to keep it and may do something with it in the future.

I know, but all of those games are still niche, just like Eternal Darkness. So what difference does it actually make.

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
Lovecraft himself died in his early fourties with very little success seen from his publication. It took the efforts of tons of contemporaries and fans to develop the household name he is now.
Eternal Darkness is a fantastic game, sales or no.

There is no rumor. Just fake amazon listings that mean 0.
Meanwhile, ED hype!
I always imagine that Dyack's new company might be working on a HD remaster for NOA, trying to get them to sign off on making SotE a proper ED2 lol.

If Retro is working on Eternal Darkness, the number of heart attacks from gamers will increase a bazillion-fold.
They were good at scaring people in Metroid Prime, and thats not even intentionally.

Nintendo should stop pussy footing and re-release Eternal Darkness asap.
Remind everyone of why it was such a cool game. The biggest barrier to a sequel's success is simply that no one has played the original.

NST is way too small to handle a project of this scale, and they're apparently working on yet another Mario vs Donkey Kong game for Wii U. Can't wait for that!

That's exactly what the OP says, btw.
As for the KS thing, that mostly failed due to the horrible press surrounding it. It never had a chance with that type of publicity and the shoddy handling of all of it.

Why would Nintendo want another Kart game? They already have Mario Kart and Sonic Racing? They are also still releasing DLC for Mario Kart.

I don't believe it. This can't be real, it's too good to be true.
Smh, I thought they were expanding to become the western equivalent of EAD. Oh well.

I'd love a sequel, but if they were to only do an HD remaster, I'd certainly play it again.

This is the same company that has already released four mascot plaformers on the Wii U. They obviously don't care about genre diversity.

Against.
So now quality means sales?
Sucks there aren't that many better games than ED from GC to remaster, in my opinion the only better game than ED has already been remastered.

That is the exact PC footage they've been showing back when the KS was running. White buttons just mean they used white button icons ^^
NST is making Mario vs DK for Wii U right now. They're heavily involved in teh Web Framework stuff, they work on games on the side these days, system/dev tools is their main gig.
Wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo gave the Shadow of the Eternals project the go ahead and let them use the Eternal Darkness name to be honest. Combined with some of Nintendo's quality control I could see it turn out decent too.
Eternal Darkness: Shadow of the Eternals doesn't sound half bad.

Hmm. I thought Nintendo couldn't extend their trademark on Eternal Darkness any further (file again or get extensions) after the last one that was posted. That they pretty much had to put up or or lose it. That no more extensions would be granted. Guess that wasn't the case. 
I actually wish they'd be denied the extension to either force their hand or to stop there being this false hope.

Here's another thing regarding a sequel.
Who is going to write the story? Nintendo doesn't exactly have or seem to requisition talented writers for their games as they do not view story as the core of a game.
Eternal Darkness is most fondly remembered for its story and characters and the novelty of the sanity effects. They could obviously replicate the latter no doubt, but I don't see them making a compelling narrative.

An HD remaster would be amazing.
They were sort of on their way to that, but they sort of fell flat on their faces and became a Mario vs. DK machine. It's a shame, but at least now it's a good place to start for someone entering the industry.
Ooo, I like that idea. I can already picture the OT.

Ugh, better not be a 3DS game.
The gameplay mechanics for this game would be atrocious by todays standards, as much as I love it (loved every minute of it and got the true ending), I hope they make a new one.

RE Remake HD still has tank controls and I have no issues with that.

New or HD Remaster. Give me either one! I don't care which!
How about a game for the New 3DS?
