If you like your adventure/RPGs with 8-bit style and a dark-sounding plot, then Ansimuz Games's Elliot Quest may be one to keep an eye on. Developer Ansimuz Games has announced that the title will be expanding out from its original PC platform and should appear on the Wii U early next year.
The story of Elliot Quest doesn't seem to start out on a happy note. After titular hero Elliot's wife disappears, he falls ill and attempts to end his own life. He quickly finds out he can't die, even as he grows weaker over time. Elliot seeks out a sage who informs him he's under the rare curse of a demon called a Satar. The demon will slowly rob Elliot of his vitality until he becomes a Satar himself, unless he can find a way to lift the curse.
It's not hard to see some dashes of Zelda II and Castlevania II in this Elliot Quest, which might make its arrival on the Wii U seem all the more fitting for Nintendo fans. The game is said to have a customisable leveling system, more than 16 bosses, and three endings based on the player's choices. Anyone who wants to take an early, in-browser demo for a spin can do so through the official website.

Sweet! I'll be keeping an eye on this.
Look's interesting i'll keep my both eye's on this.
@midnafanboy If I miss something cool because I've only dedicated a single eye and you're using both, you'll have to let me know, okay?
ill be keeping all 3 of my eyes on this
I like the concept, but sadly, it doesn't seem like Elliot growing weaker is part of the gameplay mechanic (at least didn't look like it in the trailer).
Still, an interesting game. Now, let's see if I can get that demo working on the GamePad somehow...
Did I see Phanto in the trailer? DON'T TOUCH THE KEY!!
@DRL Don't worry i will, you have my word XD.
Probs gonna get
Oh snaps! I'll be keeping my eye on... I'll be keeping a watchful... I'll be watching. This looks cool.
Totally up my alley! Will VERY likely get this!
I'm sad because I feel like Shovel Knight has completely ruined my ability to appreciate pixel art of other games. Everything pales in comparison
@sketchturner I can understand that. Shovel Knight was amazing! But some games still can hold their own, look at Hyper Light Drifter for example!
Sold. Day 1.
''Fighting to avoid a fate worse than death'', that's pretty cool.
Been looking forward to this game, and I prefer platform games on consoles than PC. If the price is comparable and not excessive like most eshop games (in relation to steam price) I would wait to get it on the Wii U.
Exciting. Looking forward to the "unique bosses".
looks fantastic. want!
For some reason, this game looks and sounds really appealing to me. I definitely am going to keep my eye on this one.
Looks right up my alley. Definitely on my radar as of right now!
If it comes to WiiU I'll give it a whirl.
Like Simon's Quest & The Adventure of Link? I hope they do it right, as I am in!!
Looks adorable.
Look, its Kid Icarus! Looks interesting though!
