Elebits dated and renamed for European release

Elebits

Konami’s surreal and unique hide-and-seek adventure game Elebits will now be known as Eledees when it arrives in Europe this spring.

Why the name change? A spokesperson for its publisher, Konami, said: “We needed a game name that could be used all over Europe.” The game will be Konami’s debut title for the Wii platform.

Or could it be that the English slang for the word “bit” could be considered derogatory?

Whatever the true reason for the change, the unique game play experience will be put to good use with the Nintendo Wii remote control.

In Eledees, players take on the role of a young boy named Kai, who must search for and capture mysterious creatures. There are 25 stages in the single-player mode with more than 15 different types of creatures, each of which will require a different strategy to catch.

There will also be a multiplayer mode, which supports up to four players, and an edit mode, where users can create their own stages, goals, and gameplay parameters, which can then be traded using Nintendo’s WiiConnect24 service.
