Lodge Nightfall: Room 215 has racked up fairly the cult following over time. This Nintendo-published text-based journey first arrived on the DS again in 2007 and acquired a sequel, Final Window: The Secret of Cape West, three years later earlier than developer Cing bit the mud after declaring for chapter. Issues have, naturally, been fairly quiet from the collection ever since, however this week, it has sprung again to thoughts (thanks, VGC).
That is as a result of Nintendo has filed a brand new trademark for Lodge Nightfall’s Western title in Japan (it already holds the rights to the Japanese title, ‘Want Room’), marking the primary time that the identify has been legally claimed within the area. The trademark submitting was submitted on ninth Could and was printed in Japan on nineteenth Could.
Now, simply yesterday, we clarified that trademark renewals are nothing greater than enterprise as normal for large corporations like Nintendo and aren’t any suggestion that one thing new may very well be on the horizon. New emblems aren’t all that totally different (they’re nonetheless removed from an official affirmation), however the mere incontrovertible fact that Nintendo would wish to get the trademark on the market within the first place has us brimming with hypothesis.
You see, as identified on Reddit by BreafingBread, Nintendo took out a brand new trademark on the Western title for Hint Reminiscence — Cing’s different journey collection — again in 2018, and what got here to Swap 5 years later? One other Code: Recollection, a remastered bundle that appeared in Japan beneath its Western title for the primary time.
It may very well be a whole coincidence, however seeing Nintendo declare the ‘Lodge Nightfall’ identify in Japan has us questioning whether or not an identical assortment may very well be within the pipeline for a future Swap/Swap 2 launch. We’re not about to get our hopes up too excessive, however seeing that noir duo again in a beefed-up package deal certain could be candy.
Take every part above with a wholesome grain of salt, in fact, however let’s examine what the longer term holds, eh?
