Forums - Nintendo - 9 minutes of Shadow of the Eternals Wii U Demo

Here's a promo video for their crowd-funding campaign:

As for the demo, it looked pretty darn great (voice acting could be better, but other than that...). Graphics were nice, atmosphere was top notch, and overall it definitely had that ED vibe to it. It'll be interesting to see how Nintendo responds to this.

However, I'd like to see more gameplay elements (specifically combat and more high intensity moments) before commiting any money to the project. Still, for the time being, I came away impressed.

They just updated their FAQ.

Seems like they will pay back donations if the project doesn't fall through.

Wonder if they will reach the 1.5 million goal. So far I don't think any game on Kickstarter has reach that number, so it's going to be really hard.

This footage hasn't been confirmed to be Wii U footage though, has it..? Unless I missed it in the videos..?

There are Wii U buttons on the demo so it has to be from the Wii U.

Not necessarily, the Wii U could be the lead platform and we're seeing footage of the PC port. When I was testing for Eidos years ago we used to see the wrong buttons being displayed on different SKUs all the time, it's quite often one of the last things developers change. I often saw PS2 button prompts for 360 and PC SKUs and later 360 button prompts for PS3 and PC SKUs.

Um that's interesting. So maybe we are looking at the PC version? Either way don't think they will look too different from each other, especially since this guys decided to make the game for the Wii U.

Nintendo should pick this up and fund it as the next ED or we can have two games if they are already working on ED2 :P



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

I can see Nintendo leading a hand if the funding don't go as plan but it may end up being exclusive if that happen.

Why doesn't Nintendo just finance and publish this outright? I mean c'mon Nintendo this is so freaking easy and you need content so bad.
