Elebits: The Adventures of Kai & Zero First Look

Konami's branching out its electrical beings in a Nintendo DS adventure.

by Craig Harris

July 1, 2008 - When the Nintendo Wii was launched back in late 2006, Konami was there with one of the coolest original third party games to hit the unique game system: Elebits. Instead of offering up a follow-up on the Wii, the company is instead expanding the Elebits franchise in a touch-screen adventure for the Nintendo DS, due out this fall.

Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero, is a direct sequel to the Wii game. It takes place in the same universe as the original title where humans live in harmony with tiny beings who serve as energy sources. In this adventure, players are sent off to track omega Elebits critters, critters who hold magic powers that'll help you on your quest. You'll have to solve puzzles to reveal hidden paths, freeze flowing water, and turn darkness into light by using the special abilities of each type of Elebits characters.

Though currently details on Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero are a bit light right now, we do know that the Nintendo DS version will feature an additional multiplayer option. It will support the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service so that players can compete head-to-head over the internet. Locally, the game will feature four-player battles.

Check out the first screenshots by clicking on the media links below. We'll have more on Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero as we get closer to the title's Fall 2008 release date.

More like a spinoff than a sequel but looks decent. I still want Elebits 2 on Wii. Elebits was such an underrated game. So good.

Their was a sequel????
...
I never knew about it

i would love to see Elebits 2 on the wii instead of the ds konami ruined a good game.

What is Konami smoking lately? Castlevania fighting game now Elebits sequel on Ds thats supposed to be on the Wii? What will they come up next?

I don't know why you guys are complaining. There is nothing wrong with them putting it on the ds. I'm sure they are already working on a wii elebits.

The protagonist look like Ash from Pokemon

this is more like a spinoff,i hope the sequel goes to wii,but i dont think the first one sold to weel so i dont expect a sequel

I loved the first one.

Top down? I want to believe...

@brute elebits sold well enough to make a profit 300,000 copies i think
