It feels a bit weird to suddenly have to call a game we've been following for quite some time now with an entirely different name. Although the change is not that drastic (heck only three letters have changed), it's gonna take some time before we'll probably get used to calling Elebits by its Euro name, Eledees.

Gameplay is pretty much the same, Kai will also get to use his Capture Gun as players progress through more than 25 stages of the game. The game will also feature more than 15 different types of Eledees, as well as an Edit Mode which will allow users to create their own stages by giving them the freedom of selecting the placement of materials AND the Eledees. If you wanna know more about the electron-charged fellas, you can check out some of them here.

And to psych up our fellow European Wii users even more, Konami has also released a new batch of screens that give users a glimpse of what's in store for them once Eledees hits the shelves this spring.

Not too keen on the new name although I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually.

Ahhh

I see they want to make it sound like LEDs perhaps. I was pronouncing it a bit differently to that in my head on the first read.

Possibly.....

Could it be that the original word "Elebits" means something rude or offensive in one of the European languages?
