Eternity's Child

Eternity's Child (WiiWare)

Eternity's Child (previously known as Angel's Eternity) is a side-scrolling platform game based on the fairy tale created by Luc Bernard, which was initially developed for Xbox Live Arcade, one of the first games to be made with the XNA toolset.

On September 9, 2007, it was revealed that it was changed to retail Nintendo DS and WiiWare titles, to be published by British retro games publisher Alten8.

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.

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. :-D

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?

15. azariaspice United States 08 Apr 2008, 06:33 GMT

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!

17. Timmy Australia 13 Apr 2008, 10:28 GMT

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

18. Jupiter Adept Canada 14 Apr 2008, 21:43 GMT

It looked funner on the 360...

19. Jupiter Adept Canada 15 Apr 2008, 22:19 GMT

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

20. Jonny United Kingdom 16 Apr 2008, 19:30 GMT

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

21. Jupiter Adept Canada 17 Apr 2008, 01:52 GMT

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

25. Satan's Therapist United Kingdom 19 May 2008, 19:14 GMT

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)

Avatar

26. Boringman54 Canada 20 May 2008, 20:55 GMT

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.

27. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 20 May 2008, 21:18 GMT

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!

29. The shoemaker Canada 01 Jun 2008, 06:11 GMT

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.

Avatar

30. strade32 United States 05 Jun 2008, 01:21 GMT

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.

32. zoipi Spain 17 Jun 2008, 21:48 GMT

@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.

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 :p

37. Mickeymac United States 04 Jul 2008, 16:19 GMT

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.

39. Dalek Gerbil United Kingdom 06 Jul 2008, 15:52 GMT

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!!!

40. Omega Germany 14 Jul 2008, 10:11 GMT

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.

41. Corbie United States 18 Jul 2008, 09:03 GMT

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

42. Objection_Blaster United States 21 Jul 2008, 04:15 GMT

@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. ;)

43. Gloves United Kingdom 24 Jul 2008, 11:54 GMT

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

44. danik United Kingdom 24 Jul 2008, 12:04 GMT

Looks ok will probalay buy if its 500 points!

45. andy836 United States 02 Aug 2008, 20:53 GMT
