I am looking forward to picking up this game. How are the battles and whatnot? (If there are any o_o)

Just in the UK. I don't mind the renaming, Eledees sounds like LEDs, and the game is about things that shine.

I found it amusing that the box also said “Eledees” on it in another language. I guess 'bits' is a funny word in Europe?

Wow, I'm impressed at the self moderation of the community! Friendly and non confrontational is the way to be. Thanks suto_vu and denpanosekai!

Aha, I suspected this was going to be good.

It will again be called “Eledees” instead of “Elebits” in Yurop, BTW, and it seems to be released on 19th of February here.

Oops, thanks for pointing that out. I think Spencer fixed it for me.

By the way your article uses the same screenshot twice.

We don't really get confrontational on Siliconera, tina tuna. No need for birds to be flipped.

AS for Elebits, I love the Wii version. But I never did like the illustrations in the game. I thought it clashed with the rest of the game's visual style.

Really? I found that powering up elebits pretty helpful if I have the electricity to spare. Some of the powered-up forms take less electricity when using their powers. I especially like that the “elebits catching time” gets longer when you use a powered up elebit to catch other ones.

I thought that I'd get stuck in more places (especially before I figured out how to properly use the magnet Elebit), but I've found that the game usually throws you some elebits to catch if you're low on electricity.
