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.

Elebits/Eledees worldwide sales figures: Japan = 62,075 US = 93,125 Europe = 3 Surely some of the Portuguese mafia will be getting this?

Nah I'm just assuming it's RTP, that's Portugal’s main TV company right? Anyway, let us know if you find out anything from the e-mail, I'd be very interested to discover what it's all about.

For some reason I find the Japanese version to be a bit more tolerable: The music in first half of that trailer is pretty cool though, kind of got Konami's old-school funky vibe to it. Seriously though, what the hell does RTP have to do with it, or is the guy that wrote that IGN review just being a weirdo?

Yeah, according to everyone bar Konami and NoE. Anyway, I added it back to the list. Fingers crossed it makes it as I could really do with a new Wii game.

Yeah I really hope Eledees does come out next week, but I won't be at all surprised if it does slip yet again. I mean we're like 6 days away now and there's still no official confirmation! Konami's site just says April 2007, as does NoE's Q2 list.

Yeah I've got it as well so I won't be getting it for VC. Unless by some miracle they did include the Expansion Pack from the DD, then I'd definitely get it.

Cool thread idea Emasher. These are all the ones I could find, (there are loads more than this though, yeah I used to change my sig a lot! ) oldest at the top:

Yeah I guess Spider-Man is a dead cert, to tie-in with the movie release so I've added it back to "Coming Soon". If anyone can find the confirmation for Cooking Mama or any of the other games I'd appreciate it. Just checked 505's site, they have it down as March 2007 : http://www.505gamestreet.com/gameinfo.htm?id=161 *EDIT* OK, added Cooking Mama. Welsh_gamer PM'd me a link to 505's announcement, weird how they still have March on their site though.

Yeah I wonder why they left that bit of info out? Seriously though that article was insulting, not to mention embarrassing for NoE. First they give Europe a shit release schedule and then go on to try and scare people about mod chips so they won't take advantage of their incompetence. Unbelievable. How about they just get the games to us in a reasonable time frame, comparable to the JPN/US release dates so people don't need to result to using mod chips!

While I'm pretty sure all of those dates will stick, there's still no confirmation (to my knowledge) for any of those dates from the publishers. So yeah they can stay on TBD for now.

You obviously haven’t heard this then :

Check my post here: http://www.n-europe.com/forum/showpost.php?p=410254&postcount=234 Basically I've decided to only move titles out of TBD once they get a confirmed date by either NoE or the game's publisher. I strongly believe (and hope) the Eledees date of 04/05/07 will stick this time (what with pretty much every retailer having that date) but it's still not been confirmed by Konami or NoE. So yeah the [?] system has been dropped as it's too much hassle when games keep changing dates every five seconds, I'd much rather the focus of this list is on the confirmed stuff.

Sorry Cube. Must have missed your earlier post. Anyway, added them to TDB now. : peace:

Cheers mate. So, another day, another release date. NoE are on fire! Reckon we'll have a date for Paper Mario tomorrow?

Yeah that is pretty cool. That game looks mental! Glad to hear you're enjoying Mystical Ninja flameboy. Are you playing with the Classic controller? I picked one up yesterday, (got bored of waiting for HMV ) really cute controller, much smaller than I was expecting! Feels great though, just a shame about the need to be connected to the Wii Remote, would've been 100% perfect if it was wireless. Interesting how they don't mention the mysterious button / clip device thingy in the manual. Wonder if we'll ever see a use for that.

Yeah, I mean it's great that Europe has a new release date and everything, but I'm really struggling to get excited about RE4: Wii Edition. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the game it's just that having played through it so many times already the motivation to do it all over again with new controls isn't really there. I'll most probably be getting it though for the extra stuff (that should have been in the GCN game in the first place! ) Separate Ways should be good, it'll be nice to play as Ada some more. :wink: Hopefully Capcom will stick to their promise and it'll be a budget title too.

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition now has a confirmed date by NoE, it's out on the 29th of June. Yeah, that's one of the main reasons I want it too. I never got on with the editor in Timesplitters though, it would pretty much always make my Gamecube crash!
