Eledees to return on DS

By Robert Purchese Published 7 July, 2008

Sequel to quirky Wii title coming.

Konami has said it will be bringing the Eledees back to life on the DS this winter.

Dubbed The Adventures of Kai and Zeo, this handheld game acts as a sequel to the Wii instalment released last May. That, incidentally, has a decent Metacritic score of 75 per cent.

Eleedes, or Elebits to give them their US title, are little creatures that serve as an energy source for the game and produce electricity when clumped together.

Your job is to go around and collect them with your Ghostbusters-like gun, so that they can follow you around like Pikmin and help you later on. Your gun also clears obstacles from your path.

It all looks to have retained its colourful and attractive presentation, and Konami promises Wi-Fi battles for up-to four players and easy-to-use touch-screen controls.

Pop over to our Eledees: The Adventures of Kai and Zero gallery for the first screenshots.

    Recently picked up Eledees for cheap, it's a good laugh though the controls can be more than a little frustrating at times. A DS version might actually work better in that respect.

    Looks way better than the Wii game.

    Those screenshots indicate that it's absolutely nothing like the Wii version. :(

    I can't believe that those screenshots are from a game which is in any way related to Eledees on the Wii. I mean, seriously?!

    Not that I have any problem with a franchise branching into different genres, but labelling it at a sequel implies it's going to be a similar style of game. This looks like an RPG!
