A new trademark filed by Nintendo in Japan may indicate that the company plans to remaster or re-release the the classic adventure title Hotel Dusk: Room 215. Hotel Dusk was a 2007 Nintendo DS title with a unique sketchy artstyle and an excellent noir-style mystery at its core. The game gained a strong fan following for its innovative use of the DS for puzzles and gameplay, and for telling a compelling and gripping story starring former NYPD detective-turned-salesman, Kyle Hyde.

A remake of the original title for the Nintendo Switch 2 might be in the cards, much to the delight of the game's fans. This information was reported by Reddit BreafingBread, who followed a trail of breadcrumbs to discover that Nintendo has recently filed for a trademark of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 in Japan.

Nintendo Trademark Might Mean A Room 215 Remake

Fans Are Excited For A Potential Return Of A Beloved Game

Although trademark filings don't always mean something is brewing, this one is noteworthy since the Japanese name for the game was Wish Room: Angel's Memory, so an interest in the English version hints at something bigger than general insurance of ownership. The trademark also becomes more significant in light of Nintendo's recent remasters of several other classic point-and-click DS games, including Trace Memory, the Famicom Detective Club, and Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.

Fans of the title are excited about the possibility of seeing their beloved point-and-click game get remade for a modern console, whether it's the Nintendo Switch 2 or the current-gen Switch. In a Resetera repost of the news, dreamfall exclaims, "Oh my GOD IS IT FINALLY HAPPENING, please please please!" Another , going by the name fulltimepanda, adds that if a remake does come out for the console, "this might actually get me to buy a Switch 2."

Hotel Dusk Might Be Perfect For The Switch 2

The Title Knows How To Bring Out The Best In Consoles

Hotel Dusk, developed by the now-defunct Cinq, was a moody point-and-click game that told the story of detective Hyde's stay in the titular Room 215. Players uncovered the tale by exploring the hotel and interacting with its rooms and residents. Before long, it became apparent that the hotel hid many secrets, and some of them, strangely, seemed to connect to Hyde.

But aside from the intriguing story, Hotel Dusk was adept at using the Nintendo DS to its fullest. The game was played by holding the DS sideways like a book, and spanned seamlessly across both screens to form a complete image. It played on the strengths of the DS's touchscreen features, with puzzles often requiring the use of the stylus and a simple note-taking system.

The ability to learn into a platform's strengths gives Hotel Dusk: Room 215 the potential to be an excellent Nintendo Switch 2 remaster title. If done right, the game could show off the console's best features, all while keeping players engaged with its mysterious narrative.
