Remember when Eternity’s Child was supposed to come out by the end of the year? The end of the year is only a few weeks away, and the game is nowhere to be seen. Well, that’s because the game is getting fixed. The PC version was released a few months ago, but it wasn’t very well received. Alten8, the game’s publisher, has been working diligently to recode the whole thing to make it a lot less sucky when it’s finally released on WiiWare.

Sounds like a plan. I think we can all agree that a good-quality release next year would be a lot more desirable than a mediocre one right now.

According to Eternity’s Child creator Luc Bernard, the WiiWare version of the game is going to need a little bit more time to cook. The game’s publisher, Alten8, is working hard to have the game ready for release by the end of the year.

Bernard has also announced that a sequel, originally developed for the Game Boy Advance, will be completed and ported to WiiWare under the title Eternity’s Child 2: Retro Child. The sequel is a throwback to SNES platformers of yore, and will feature SNES-style graphics. Bernard says he owes this decision to several factors, one of which being the recent success of Mega Man 9‘s retro NES-style graphics and sound.

Eternity’s Child 2 is set for a mid-2009 release.
