Elliot Quest suffers from a few issues on Wii U. Destructoid points out that the frame rate dips considerably after Elliot obtains his first ability when used in areas with multiple enemies or weather effects. That’s on top of other problems, such as one in which the player exits an area, only to be taken to a different part of the map.
Destructoid additionally mentions the following in its report:
In the northern part of the map, you’ll find two graveyards. The northmost one has a boss fight and the one below that has a gravestone that can be pushed to fall into a crypt where you find a painting. Upon exiting this crypt, the game glitched, causing me to go back to the area where the aforementioned boss fight took place, only now there was no way to exit the stage and the game saved in this area.
Thankfully, PlayEveryware is aware of the glitch and is already on the case. A patch has already been submitted to Nintendo and should hopefully release next week. We’ll let you know when it goes live.
Following a month-long campaign, Nephil’s Fall reached its funding goal over on Kickstarter. Fans ended up pledging $32,656 in order to make the game a reality.
Nephil’s Fall is a 2D fantasy platformer featuring Metroidvania gameplay. The title also sports “several unique mechanics, beautifully illustrated interactive environments, a deep story-line and great replayability potential.”
Since Nephil’s Fall has been funded, Exordium Games should eventually develop the title for Wii U. PC, Mac, and Linux are initially being targeted, but Wii U’s logo is included on the Kickstarter page. Exordium would also “love to bring Nephil’s Fall to every single platform”, including consoles and handhelds.
Those who are interested in Nephil’s Fall can find more information on the Kickstarter page. You can also watch a video below.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

During Sakura Con this past weekend, Kodansha Comics announced that it has acquired the license to publish Satoru Matsuba’s Devil Survivor manga in the U.S. This is based on the original Devil Survivor title for DS. It isn’t clear when the manga will be available, but I’m sure we’ll be receiving additional news in the months ahead.
Club Nintendo is pretty much wrapped up in North America, but the program still has a few months remaining in Japan. One of the latest rewards is a soundtrack, which features various tunes focusing on the endings/credits of Nintendo titles.
