Elliot Quest opts for a simple look, but underneath that exterior is a rather accomplished adventure game. It was an impressive indication of what could be achieved through HTML5 technology on the Wii U eShop, before it was then ported to C++ (not Unity as we initially stated) and released on other systems - including the 3DS.
Those that are yet to try it could get another chance via the Switch eShop this week, as it's scheduled to arrive on 19th October in Europe and North America, assuming the eShop page's date is correct. Priced at £8.99 / $9.99USD, it promises plenty of abilities to try out through five dungeons, with 16 'unique bosses' and multiple endings also thrown in.
Let us know if you're tempted to pick this one up on Switch.

Missed this on the U so I may consider this here on my Switch!
The style reminds me of a side scrolling version of Kamiko and that one was an early Switch gem.
Looks gorgeous. Day one buy, for sure!
An excellent game on Ouya and on WII U. Will triple dip!! Day one for me. A big recommandation for everyone!!
Yet another game added to my wishlist. I’m going to need a third job.
Yeah no. Not now amyway.
Never played this. Perhaps I'll give it a try
Might have to finally give this one a shot.
Yes, but as the end of the video says 2014, it’s 3 years old! Have they made any changes or optimisations in regards to the switch version? Or is it just another port? Sorry to sound like slig but you know
@Bunkerneath Facts are facts. A lot of these games are old, already on Wii U, looking for a quick, cheap buck.
Been waiting for a sale on this for 3DS. It tickled my fancy
It must be 2014, someone mentioned Ouya!
(Also, this looks awesome. That is all.)
I thoroughly enjoyed this on 3DS. Enough that I would totally double dip it for Switch.
@JHDK Its a great game, much like an easier Zelda 2

Enjoyed it on the Wii U.
With so many games coming out over the next few weeks, I just can't afford to spend any money on indie titles anytime soon. And that is annoying because the backlog of games I want to purchase is growing.
I only bought Stardew Valley because it was a game you can literally spend hundred hours playing.
I’m giving this a massive recommendation, guys! I’ve already played it on Switch and it’s amazing!
@bunkerneath There’s also new content in the form of additional game modes. The New 3DS version will also receive these changes in a patch that goes live tomorrow!
@Switch99 I read that. Really annoying that Wii U doesn't get the extra improvements. Who knows, they mightn't amount to very much.
This looks great. Dunno how I missed this on N3DS. I skipped it when released on Wii U. Would have bought on N3DS though.
Guess I will buy it on switch. Can't blame developers for releasing it again though. Why leave money on the table?
Switch is a thriving market with money to be made.
Wii U doesn't get the extra improvements,
but I guess Switch doesn't get the unique Miiverse features that are available in the Wii U version?
Meh
As others have already said, this is a fantastic little game and priced very reasonably, even cheaper than the steam version. Took me about 25 hours to (afaik) 100% on pc so its well worth the price.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE And a lot of them (including Elliot Quest) are gems that deserve to be played nevertheless, especially for those who didn't get to do it before. I fail to see the problem.
I played Elliot Quest on Wii U, and you don't see me complaining that other people get to play it now. Seriously, it's tiresome and makes no sense.
I love this game & will be buying it tomorrow for my Switch. I have it on Wii U but got stuck due to the game breaking bug, but after the patch I was still unable to progress, so I never beat it. (I guess I was supposed to delete my save file & start over, but I didn't want to have to repeat all of the progress I had made.)
Would be nice if the Switch eShop had a section for Wii U ports (know it won't happen but would be nice).
Didn't get round to this on Wii U so will get it on Switch eventually, looks cool.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Dead systems don't get updates.
Never had the time to get it, but I did want it. I don't technically have the time still, but it's nice to know that if and when I ever have the chance, I can get it for my Switch.
It was a fun game on Wii U although I never did finish it. Maybe I'll dust off the Wii U and try it again.
Excellent game, though the final boss glitched on me while playing on Wii U. Haven’t made as much progress on 3DS. Enjoy, newcomers!
Definitely not double-dipping — against my principles — but this article reminds me to boot up the Wii U and finish this amazing game
Great game. I read that they implemented an NPC that gives you hints as to where the next boss or key item is located. That was my only gripe with the Wii U version.
Day 1 for me.
I almost enjoyed the game on the Wii U. Too glitchy though, I don't think I can give them another chance.
