Another Wii-only title is getting some love in Leipzig. This time it’s Konami’s as of yet unnamed game featuring those strange little bundles of energy, the Elebits. We’ve already heard a few tidbits about these Elebits in the past, mainly that the world is an interactive one where you sneak up on the energy-dealing creatures or scare them out into the open, but the “new” news from Germany is that a fully playable demo was showcased — and it was multiplayer.
The multi-player bit: “Konami is using Games Convention to show the Wii title for the first time, and has also revealed of the game’s immersive two-player mode, allowing players to compete against each other to find Elebits or work co-operatively.” Kicking Elebit butt, co-op style. Not bad.
Elebits is incredibly interactive and has a lot of upside. It may be the next Chibi-Robo, and that is high praise.
Sounds a lot like Pikmin 2's multiplayer. But is this online?? That would be fabulous!!
Whoever it was that told you this was the first showing of Elebits was wrong. I played the game at E3, and everyone else could, too – it was out in the main Wii area.
Sorry, but the Demo at Nintendo's booth was singleplayer and certainly not the E3 version, since you could hunt Elebits in the garden.
