Elebits!

Recommended Posts

Don't mind the graphics (and I think we can expect them to improve anyway), this game looks to me to have a similar appeal as Chibi-Robo!. Chibi-Robo!'s graphics also weren't that great, but the gameplay was fun. Exploring the house as a tiny robot was fun, as you could discover any nook & cranny (I think that's the expression right?). That also seems to be the case with this game.. I haven't seen any videos of it, and you aren't a tiny robot, but this game will also have a similar feel of exploration I think. Lifting up every small or big object, just to see what's beneath it. It'll be easy to miss the small objects, if you're focussing on big things, and vice versa..

This is a launch title right? This is probably going to be a must-buy for me at launch, next to the Zeldas & Metroids..

There's a new (I think) video for this game in IGN's Wii section here (top left) now and I think it actually looks pretty good, it seems a lot like an idea I had for a Wii game with really good physics and interaction. My idea never let you throw houses and mansions around though but maybe it should've.

You know, this game is starting to grow on me. When it was announced, I wasn't that enthousiastic. It seemed like a bad executed cross between Pikmin and Chibi-robo. But this game was just hilarious! Throwing houses around, awesome!

 

It makes me wanna play and buy this game! Can't wait :D

This is not a portuguese forum :P

 

Speaking about Portugal, is there any info about YDreams football game? I'll be at Games2006, so I may find something about it.

Glad to hear you are not saveing your money until March.

 

I can spend more on the Wii now, i'm quite pleased about that! I'm getting Rayman and Elebits now, when i wouldn't have been able too!

 

Although the PS3 Launch in March isn't out of the equation. The money/credit notes i have now are all for the Wii though! :D

 

I'll have to start saving again after the Wii is released! :laughing:

I want this game. BTW is it a launch title in europe??
It's slated for Wii's launch in both US and Japan, I'd say there's a pretty big chance we get it too.

Fine line between genius and novelty.

I am leaning towards the latter. I don't think the west will like it.

Still looking great fun! Lets keep those fingers crossed that Europe see 'Elebits' sometime in December or Jan 2007 the latest!

 

or launch...but it's looking unlikely.

If you compare the lastest pictures with the first set, you can see how well the game has improved graphically!!

 

Here's the same kitchen!! (The oven, cupboard above it and fridge are on the far right in the new screen)
