Elliot Quest is an indie RPG on the Wii U that was heavily pushed by Nintendo ahead of release, which is hardly surprising due to its retro-style visuals and design. It's also a solid advertisement for the occasionally maligned Nintendo Web Framework, too.
At launch it did have some shortcomings, though to the credit of publisher PlayEveryWare it's remained active in keeping gamers informed and improving the experience. The first patch added support for more controllers, for example, and now patch 1.2.2 fixes more bugs and resolves an issue that was halting the progress of some players.
We were certainly impressed with this title in our Elliot Quest review, and it's reassuring to see the publisher sticking to the job of resolving bugs and improving it further.
Have you picked up Elliot Quest for Wii U, or are you tempted to give it a try?
Thanks to Max for the heads up.

This is true. I had to start my whole game over. I still enjoyed it. It is a great game. You can still beat it without the patch, but it is needed.
It's a great game, glad to see a developer who is so public friendly & seems to care.
How I love this kind of stuff: Nintendo fans always keep lamenting how games on other platforms are getting patched instead of being flawless out of the gate, yet when a game on a Nintendo platform needs grave bugs to be patched, it suddenly shows how much the developer cares.
@KeeperBvK What??? I never mentioned another platform in my post. Paranoia much?
@KeeperBvK I think its a bit different when it's just an eShop titles vs an actual retail game.
Very good game but i unfortunatley came across the graveyard glitch and deleted my game literally the day before he announced a second patch to fix the issue. Oh well at least it was a good game and i won't have to wander to find the next place to go.

AAA titles not indie games are what people are referencing. There has and will always be buggy indie games...
Not to mention they are not only retail, but incomplete buggy broken games are being sold for $60...
I know I'll be giving this game a try eventually, so I'm happy for the speedy updates!
I'm in the UK and my game hasn't updated to 1.2.2 yet. I posted on Miiverse yesterday and Thomas from PEW replied saying he can't confirm that it's been released in Europe yet. At least one user on the European Miiverse has gotten the graveyard glitch since the supposed release of the patch, too.
