Silicon Knights has announced that they are planning to open a new development studio in Hamilton, Ontario. The studio plans to open in about six months. Although no word was given if any Nintendo products were planned for development there, the company has long said they would be open to developing a Wii game if the right idea came along.
Silicon Knights is currently developing X-Men Destiny, the release details for which have yet to be revealed. The last title the developer completed for a Nintendo platform was Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes in 2004.
ST. CATHARINES — St. Catharines video game producer Silicon Knights is taking its idea for a new digital media institute down the QEW to Hamilton after ongoing talks with Brock University stalled, the company's founder says.
Silicon Knights, McMaster University, Mohawk College and the Art Gallery of Ontario announced late last week they're partnering on a research institute that will focus on the growing electronic gaming industry.
The $11-million joint venture, dubbed Eight: The Hamilton Institute for Digital Media, is expected to open its doors next year at McMaster Innovation Park in Hamilton.
"It's the first of its kind anywhere that I know of," Silicon Knights president Denis Dyack said Monday. "It's a pure integration, so it's going to be able to create jobs, it's going to be able to forward academic research … It's really the best of both worlds."
Also did you guys know that Nintendo still owns part of Silicon Knights?

I can't find anything that supports that. Even if they do, the percentage they own would be minuscule. Since Nintendo owns the Eternal Darkness IP, I don't think they care about it since they haven't done anything with it since the first game.
