In Spring last year PlayEveryWare shared its goal to bring Elliot Quest to the 3DS eShop by Fall 2016; it may have taken a little longer than expected, but the retro-styled adventure game does now have a release date for the portable in North America and Europe - 11th May.
We were big fans of the original release on the Wii U eShop, which actually utilised the Nintendo Web Framework; as a result the game has been rebuilt for PS4, Xbox One and of course the 3DS. As for the portable iteration, it'll have stereoscopic 3D as a welcome feature.
On top of already being the best Mega Man + Metroid + Cave Story + Zelda inspired game, we've added special collectibles, multiple save slots, EFIGS localization, achievements and trophies, plus stereoscopic 3D on the 3DS!
Are you tempted to pick this up on 3DS?

Probably depending on the price!
$5 and i'ts mine, anything more and I'm gonna have to pass
If the 3D is nice enough, I'll bite.
idiot quest
Reminds me of Kid Icarus, might get.
It's a really good game and it's quite long. It's certainly not unfair for it to come in at a price point over 5 dollars.
@ThomasBW84 One unrelated question: Why you don't have screenshots for this game on the game's page when you have screenshots of the game in this news? It happens a lot: I see some news about a game on the website, but when I go to the game's page, nada, zero, zilch.
Eh. Why not.
On the Switch yes!!!! Il loved it on Ouya and Wii U.
This is actually a really great game, I loved the steam version. I very rarely double dip but if it has new content and the 3D is nice , I just may have to pick it up again. Very underrated metroidvania with zelda style dungeons.
@maceng The screenshot in the article is for Wii U, which I note in the little comment under the image
We should do better in maintaining screenshots on game pages though, that's fair. Thanks for the feedback.
I waited , hoping this game came to 3DS with stereoscopic 3D I almost got it when it went on sale on Wii U last time so glad I waited I love the 8bit or 16bit looking titles with the 3D effect added I never understood why Nintendo released so few 3D classics on the 3DS such a missed opportunity in my opinion.
Hopefully the Wii u version gets discounted!
Great game.
This was a game on my backlist I just never got around to. If the timing and the price is right, I'll consider pursuing this again.
Great news I've been waiting for it and the 3ds version of tumblestone too
It's a great game and I think 3D will make this the best version.
Day one for me!
Wonder if this could see a switch port too.
I have the 3ds version. (haven't tried any other version). I think it has a problem on the 3ds (and possible the 2ds). After playing for about 20 minutes or so, the frame rate can just drop to be noticeably slower. A Save and a restart of the game will fix the issue, but since save points are about 3 minutes apart... it does involve a trek back to a save point.
The game is very fun I just wish it didn't have these slow down issues.
BTW... $20 Aud for the game is a bit much... considering that steam has it for half price (didn't know until after i brought it)
EDIT: NOTE. The devs have posted a patch for this to the 3ds shop.
