Closer look at Konami's first Wii offering...
With less than 2 week before Konami's Elebits releases, let's take a closer look at what the game is set to offer.
Elebits is set to be unlike any other Wii title during it's launch window. The premise of Elebits is that it's a revolutionary game of hide and seek as players search high and low for Elebits, mischievous little creatures that are the source of the world's power. Using the unique functionality of the Wii-mote to push, pull, lift and throw anything in the environment as you attempt to track down these playful little creatures. As you capture Elebits, players will be able to further interact with the environment, using them to provide power to different implements that will help them in their search.
One of the coolest features will be that this is the first game to utilize Nintendo's Wii24Connect functionality. Players will be able to custom make their own levels and trade them with friends over their Wiis. That function alone should result in quite a bit of replayability. We shall soon see.
