Nintendo Life

Looks to be a great game; can't wait... or maybe I can, thanks to Brawl. >.>

Still, seriously, the game looks, sounds, and seems to play great.

The gameplay looks good, pretty solid for a platformer. The music is great. I can't wait.

Everything looks great. For 500 points it should be a must-buy.

Reminds me of the first, 2D-based Rayman, but with a big axe 8P ! Should be fun, but I hope the final game won't be as hard as it looks in teh Vid (slashing at an enemy and hoping to have enogh LP to sit it out? Yuck!).

It looks like a Snes 2D platformer with updated graphics.

Hey guys... when are we gonna get more than just thumbnails for screenshots? I'd love to see this game. The art direction from squinting at these looks pretty cool.

"It looks like a Snes 2D platformer with updated graphics."
Which is definitely not a bad thing. Remember Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, Kirby Super Star, ActRaiser? Not saying that you meant it as a bad thing in the first place though, Serpent.

gameplay and animation looks a little amateurish but the music is awesome!

The art style and music are good but the game seems like it could get repetitive.

looks great!

I'm loving the graphical style and music, I hope it's as fun as it looks, I love old-school platformers!

Looks like a fun and unique game, will be looking forward to it.

At 500 points is WiiWare going to force a pricing rethink for Nintendo over its NES games? Once Wii ware becomes established I can't see too many people buying the likes of Urban Champion over this?

For 500 points? Wow. NES games seem pricey now. O.o;; Maybe they should lower the prices for the games.

I'm getting this game to support the release of Imagination is the Only Escape, but it looks fun as well!

for some reason i hate those graphics but either way ive never heard of a mobile game thats actually good except tetris

It looked funner on the 360...

Hey, there'll be a level editor! Also possibly a PC and PSN version! It says at his blog. WARNING: He swears. A lot, and very badly. http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/lucbernard

Just read there's a 43mb size limit for ww titles. Wasn't this too big for xboxs 150mb limit?!?

It didn't go to 360 since Microsoft said it wasn't what they wanted on XBLA, or something like that.

Well that's because Microsoft is bunk. This is an instant download for me.

This game looks brilliant, I love the art style. Hopefully it plays as good as it looks.

nice music, hope it uses sideways wiimote

Really excited about this (along with lost winds) would like to see a release date and points/price. some wiiware games seem to creeping up in price. (1500 should be the max I think)

I'm planning on buying this. It looks like an awesome platformer.

Also, it's cool how we stole this from XBLA. There was too many restrictions so they moved it over to WiiWare.

The game will be 500 Points.

And yeah, the platforming element itself seems almost top-notch.

luc bernard posted this to his blog yesterday:
"For the Wiiware version of Eternity's Child, well that's up to my publisher to decide when they want to release it."

Me want soon!

Oh man that video was sweet. i can't wait for this game. The music is worth 500 it'self. and then the crazy platforming elements. It's too much too handle.

this game just doesn't interest me for some reason. i like the graphics a lot, but the music does not suit the level. also, i have played games that handle like this on the internet, but i hated all of them. this could be good for others though.

To anybody commenting on that video, Luc Bernard already said that it's completely outdated and doesn't represent the final Wiiware product.

It was made when it was still an X-Box Live project, if I remember correctly.

@ICEknight I hope so. If they correct it, it will be sure an awesome game.

PD: Are you also from Spain?! I Thought i was the only one here!

For some reason,
this game reminds me of
Tim Burton's Nigtmare Before Christmas.
This game definitely has the look, sound, and feel of that film.
The XBox live version was awesome, hope they adjusted some of angles and bugs.
This looks very promising for a fairly budgeted WiiWare game.
Rockn.

^Wait, you saying you played this game before? When?

he just said the Xbox live version!

Woah! Marvman is on WiiWare world? Sorry, I just got a shock from that since I know him from another forum.

Anyway, I love platformers, so I can't wait for this, it looks very unique

I don't remember the Xbox Live version ever being released, so that does bring up some questions. Personally I'm not doubting whether or not Marvman has played it or not, I'd just like to know how.

there is a good chance ill get this

Like the title but I dont think i'll get it...then again its only 500 points so maybe...ive just realised its 4 players! About 80% likelyto get this now!!!

Looks interesting. And only 500 Points? Nice. I only hope this is not as difficult as many old-school games are. I must admit, that most of the VC-Games are waaay to hard for me. In any case I look forward to the review.

We added some new screenshots we snapped from the preview build of the game. A new preview is coming soon.

@Corbie Thanks for the new pics. What part of development is the game in? Approval or final smoothing? I need a good new game for my Wii and soon.

I think that it could be good, but it looks a little repetitive. Maybe that's just me though.

Looks ok will probalay buy if its 500 points!

wow the review destructoid gave it........ i'm hesitant on this game but i'll try it out on wiiware.

I really can't wait for this game, I think it will be awesome! I just hope they have a lot of levels and cool features besides multiplayer

Just tried the PC demo. It was ok, a little bit simple maybe?
My mind drifted of to good old SuperFrog right away, but I would easily say:
SuperFrog > Eternity's Child
Hope the WW version is good. And I like the pricetag.

Just curious, what does Luc exactly do as "videogame developer"
I'm going to assume he doesn't code at all, which leaves what? Developing the idea and the artwork? Not to undermine the importance of those things; I developed a couple basic games in college, and when you can't do art for jack-ish, an artist suddenly seems like god's gift to man. It's really hard to make a well coded game seem good when the art is crap.

I'm guessing he does everything

any ideas on a wii ware release date?

Why Doesn't Eternity's Child 2: Retro Child have it's own Game page?

I seriously want this game so bad. It's driving me nuts that it still isn't out.

The Silver Sphere Studios site is down. Not a good sign.

Exactly how long has this been in production now? Surely it should be out in the next few months.

PC version tanked. (From 1/10 to 6/10 in review scores) They are fixing all the problems to make it good.

Me want. The art looks cool, and the play mechanics look good as well. Now if only they could just hurry up and release it.

I got a new phone so i have finally been able to download the mobile phone version. Quite good.

"Why Doesn't Eternity's Child 2: Retro Child have it's own Game page?"
I Ask Again

AAAAAAAAH! That sun in the video is creepy... But... 500 points? That is a Must-Have game!

Reminds me of my high school daze on the 'ol paper trips.
