Elliot Quest is a Wii U title that's been championed a great deal by Nintendo, identified along with other select games as being a positive example of the content coming to the eShop. That's been quite a coup for developer PlayEveryWare, and it'll see soon whether that buzz will convert to sales success.
This retro-style adventure game arrives in North America in the next download update, on 19th March, and will make its way to Europe on 16th April. There'll be off-TV play on the GamePad, while the five dungeons and 16 bosses will be supplemented by a special area if you collect enough hidden paintings.
You can see a trailer for this below - are you excited about this one?

well I do not see what all the buzz is about. looks like indie title tiring to take my money. come on big N stop pushing the bad indie's.
"Over 16 unique bosses"
So... 17?
Kid Icarus, Adventure of Link, and Cave Story had a baby? Sounds promising...
I like the art style. We'll see.
I've heard it's really good, so count me in.
@GraveLordXD $12.99
i hope it gets ported to the 3DS #hopefulwishing
Tired of people being immediately negative about indies titles with no real reason given. This one looks great.
Dang, I still need a point card for this week. Guess I'll get two to prepare...
Been looking forward to this one since the last Direct. I love it when a game comes out of nowhere and captures my imagination like this one has. Will certainly be getting it as soon as it's released.
Id rather have it on my 3DS.
That said, might buy anyhow because it looks rather cool.
So is this a Wii U exclusive then? 'Cos it was only said 'Wii U' at the end, no other platforms were mentioned.
This game looks boss.
@CB85
It is on Steam.
I've actually been a little mixed on this game as far as the gameplay. It looks good to me, but not great.
What I'm really really liking though is that music. I swear between Nintendolife and the eshop, I must have watched that trailer about 10 times now just so that I can listen to that music. Serious props to whoever is doing the music for this.
Honestly, even though the gameplay just looks good and not great to me, I'm really thinking on buying this game between that and the amazing music.

Looks fun but if that $13 for the price then I think I can wait a bit for a discount. Just doesn't seem worth that much to me but to each their own.
looks really unique at the same time obviously influenced y the greats.
is 13dollars for a videogame really that expensive?
i mean, watching a 90min movies costs as much these days, im sure the game is longer than that.
im all over this indie
I'm excited for this one, looks like a great Metroidvania. It reminds me a lot of Cave Story, hopefully it's even half as good.
3DS it and I'm down.
This looks amazing. I'm in. It looks like a mash up of the types of games I love. The retro look is wicked cool. I haven't played my WiiU in 2 months so I'm all about it.
Kid Icarus with a Chrono Trigger map. Sold.
Been following this game for a while and will definitely buy it on release! Looks totally charming IMO.
16 bosses, three different endings, and 2d combat mechanics that I absolutely love. I'm ready to pick this one up.
It's a really good game. Metroidvania style platforming and progression with zelda-esque dungeons and puzzles - great fun. It's already on steam for quite cheap, I wrote a short review for it a while back if anyone's interested

Five dungeons and 16 bosses sounds like the game will be pretty solid length.
But yeah, I've been really excited for this since it was confirmed for Wii U. 13 bucks isn't too bad considering 5 dungeons/over 16 bosses and gameplay looks fun.
I love how this game looks! So many cool indie games are coming to Wii U!
@Kingrat Good review man,cheers for that.I wasn't a fan of the art style at all and had no plans to pick this up but after reading your review I think I would enjoy this."Borrows heavily from the platforming classics of yesteryear" like "Wonderboy in Monsterland" is what got me Hopefully it's been polished up a little for it's Wii U release.
I been waiting for a release date, been keeping a on this game.
It looks good but I don't like it. maybe because i've played a lot of indie and retro games, this seems a little samey but who knows maybe a review/discount will convince me
This game rocks, glad i backed it.
@sketchturner:
That's exactly what I was thinking, with a phanto mask from SMB2 and a tombstone from Zelda 1 sprinkled in, lol.
I'm still not "feeling the hype" about this game for some reason... it's not really doing/looking/being anything that hasn't already been thrown at us by Cave Story, Shovel Knight, Teslagrad, and a myriad of others I can't even name right now. I'll be waiting for the review with bated breath.
