Konami for me too. They've made the best use of the Wii Remote out of all the third party developers so far I reckon, with Eledees. And as davidredge pointed out, they have a great catalogue of franchises. Most of which I would love to see on Wii, but none more so than Mystical Ninja! If that game ever makes it I'll be very happy indeed.

Agreed. Thread relegated.

I never played the GCN version of this game so I reckon I'll have to get this, see what it's like. I kind of have the same feeling about it that I had with the previous game though, that I wish it was a more traditional representation of football than all this crazy stuff. Reminds me of this... Should be a good laugh online though. Hopefully Nintendo will have some quality adds for it, they're going to have to work hard to top these though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCGTEaLuOFM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elt7xZLhwGs

That's not an eight, it's the Japanese symbol for day.

Cheers, just did that: My original time was 3:25 I think, but it took me less time to beat the boss on my second go. What’s everyone’s total game time? I’m on around 27 hours. Just goes to show how much play time there is outside of the Story mode. Interesting... I'm guessing for King of Noise you have to make sure you don't get any sound penalties, as for King of Capture, surely it won't be something as evil as you have to capture every single Eledee in the game!? Or will it? Either way I'm going to struggle with those I think. Played some multiplayer for the first time last night, hectic doesn't even begin to describe it! And this was just 2 player. It's pretty funny as you can both pick up the same object and fight over it, my mate soon discovered a really annoying tactic though of grabbing a massive object and holding it up close, therefore blocking the view to the Eledees! You can set the camera control up to flick between the players, we had it set to 30 sec each. You have to make really good use of your time with the camera though, as catching Eledees when you're not controlling the view is much more difficult!

It doesn't look like they do. They certainly haven't with Eledees, the amount of new content to still be discovered after completing story mode is pretty immense. I don't remember my ranking now, should have taken a pic. Do you know what you got? Yeah it's a good idea to leave edit mode until you finish the main game, as you add stuff to it by getting at least a B Rank in all the story mode stages.

Completed story mode earlier, did mission 27 on my second go in the end! Just took a look at the tips but was quite surprised as I didn't do any of that to beat it! Loved the last stage, but had some killer slowdown towards the end of it! Final Boss was cool though...

Are those really coming so soon!? I figured it'd be ages before we saw new colours, what with the production issues and everything.

Man, you lot weren't kidding about 27! What the hell? If I don't make it by tomorrow I'll take a look at Hero's tips.

I've only done the first challenge because I can't stop playing edit mode. It's so damn addictive! I'm up to stage 22 in the story, think I'm going to play through to the end before I go back to edit mode though so I can unlock all the extra stuff for it. Don’t know what IGN were on about giving this a 6 for lasting appeal. I’ve played for over 20 hours now and haven’t even finished the main game! That whole review was completely flawed you ask me, the fact they claim it’s not as good anymore because the novelty of the Wii Remote has worn off is ridiculous. Are they going to apply the same logic to Mario Galaxy and Metroid 3 then because they didn’t come out sooner?

Cool huh? Absolutely. Such a shame about the voice-overs though, ear bleedingly bad. I had a very slight feeling of motion sickness at first, only lasted around 15 minutes or so and not had it since. I've never had anything like that before either. I think Gizmo's probably right though and it's to do with not having a gun or something as a focal point, so you're really focusing on the environment a lot. That combined with lots of quick turning movement and loads of stuff flying around must be what does it. If anyone out there really suffers from motion sickness with games they should try it out before buying just in case. If it can affect people that don't suffer from the condition I hate to think what it'd do to someone that does! It supports 480p and DPLII, not widescreen though.

Completely agree. Personally it's one of the best, if not the best third party game I've ever played! Don't agree with you on the level editor though, I was actually surprised as to how powerful it is. I mean apart from the restriction on the amount of items used you can basically to anything, even re-create some of the Story Mode stages. That tells me we've got pretty much the same tool as what the developers had, what more could you need?

More like good news everyone from America, as that has merely confirmed the US version will be a budget title at $29.99 (£15 / €22). We'll be lucky to even get it for £20. I reckon it'll be £30. By the way, don’t go looking at Capcom’s European site for a similar confirmation, they don’t even have Wii listed as a system!

Better make it a very big pinch of salt! That's got to be one of the worst, most inaccurate release lists I've ever seen. Not to mention a hilarious caption: Yeah... nice one IGN!

Cool. Send me some screens/levels sometime. Yeah searching for and collecting Eledees is the main objective, but it's not just limited to inside a house. Eventually you go out in to the streets and find yourself lifting up cars and even houses! I've spent just over 12 hours on my game so far (a few hours of that time in edit mode) and I'm up to stage 19 in the story mode, I believe there are around 30 stages in total. Plus each stage has 3 unlockable modes so there is quite a bit of replay value. I definitely know what you mean H-o-T about the Chibi-Robo vibe, that and Pikmin were the first games that came to my mind when I started playing this. And... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC408W3Mw3g Neil Buchanan sure loves saying "could be anywhere"

So what does everyone else think of the game? I've gone through the single player a bit more now, up to the stages that introduce special requirements i.e. you shouldn’t break stuff or make too much noise. Certainly adds a nice twist to the gameplay as you can't just go mental throwing stuff all over that place like on the opening stages! By the way, just to add something to what I said about the edit mode before, I found out you can choose the furniture set before you start so you're not actually tied down to whatever goes with a certain stage, in fact you can choose up to 3 different sets of furniture and you don't even have to pick the corresponding one, so you can make a stage using the bedroom but with furniture from the hall, kitchen and study instead. Another cool thing in the editor is that you can turn the physics on and off by pressing the 2 button, so you can stack loads of stuff up and then switch on the gravity to check if it balances or falls to the ground! It's also useful to make sure everything is properly placed in the room as sometimes after moving items around they're left slightly in mid air. So far I've only got one complaint with the game, and that is the restriction that is placed on the WiiConnect 24 feature. See it turns out you can only send screenshot and custom level data once per day, at first I thought it meant you could only send 1 screen/level to one person, but it's not actually that bad. You can send to more than one person (everyone on your list it seems) but you have to do it all in one go, so if you forget to send to someone you can't then just send it to them afterwards, you have to wait until the following day. I guess it makes sense though as it would probably get really messy if there was no limit to what you could send. I sent you a screenshot yesterday Owen, did you get it?

Yep, Eledees and Spider-Man 3 it is. Mercury Meltdown seems to be slipping pretty much on a weekly basis. Next week we should be seeing Cooking Mama and possibly Bust-A-Move, although the latter has also had a habit of slipping in the past.

Ok this game is so my cup of tea it’s not even funny. I’ve played for around 2 hours now and am seriously loving it. It’s scary how well Konami has utilized the Wii Remote in this game, especially as it was a launch title. So far the controls have been completely flawless. My first experience with this game has actually been very similar to that of Wii Sports, the feeling of interaction is just as immense, if not more so. Picking stuff up and chucking it around, opening doors and turning on taps ect… all feels so perfect and true to life. I only played the first couple of stages before jumping into edit mode, but as far as I can tell it’s no way near as limited as what has been suggested. You literally have an empty room and access to all of the furniture from that particular stage to decorate it as you see fit. Moving items around is incredibly easy and you can reposition/rotate things any time you like. It’s like a mini version of a 3D app on Wii! There is a limit to how much stuff you can place, but it seems to be very generous. I already know for sure that this mode is going to last me a long time (love level editors) the scope for creating some cool levels is definitely present with this game. People on my Wii address book should be afraid, very afraid! Speaking of which I got a nice little surprise when I started up this game today, a message popped up saying I had received a screenshot. I was like, huh? But it was from Dcubed who must have the US version. Cheers for that mate! : peace: Send me some stages now. So yeah, I really like this game. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever played before, a truly unique game made possible by a truly unique console. Now this is what I bought a Wii for.

Perhaps just a bit too heavy on purple, but other than that I think it's really nice, seriously I prefer that to how the real site looks! Good job.

Will do man. You too. : peace: I'm so looking forward to trying that out! *EDIT* I just got my e-mail from Gameplay, so hopefully this will arrive tomorrow. Nice to see Gameplay dispatching early again anyway. *EDIT 2* Postie has just been, Eledees Get!!

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist. :wink: I get the feeling Eledees is going to be another Excite Truck. Bad reviews, low initial sales and then... Boom!

Gotta love NoE's generic e-mail response. I got exactly the same reply when I e-mailed them about the component cable. After what appeared to be a turnaround with Wii launching so soon after the US and Japan, it's pretty safe to say that NoE have now returned to form. Is Watchdog still on TV? I reckon we should try and get NoE on that.

Yeah I know. Pangya too (in Japan anyway) but I'm not getting either of those. :wink: You should cancel and order from somewhere else. I bet Play would get it to you quicker than that, and it's the same price as Amazon: http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/GENCD/3-/1027928/Eledees/Product.html

Now if I was you I'd take that £13 and put it towards an official RGB cable. Trust me, when it comes to these things Nintendo's stuff is always the best. Mind you, as DCK already pointed out, a lot of it comes down to the TV too. So even with the official lead the jump might not be all that massive.

Same here. Can't believe it, finally the last "launch" game is almost here. Completed Mystical Ninja yesterday too so the timing is perfect.
