IGN has a new video up. I think it is the one that I could never watch on the konami website. The crazy japanese pop music I could do without though.

That crazy Japanese pop music was somewhat infectious

Same thing they said about Katamari, I'm sure.

Seriously, more and more it looks like they're trying to model this game on Katamri, just with conceits that are not as outright wacky or intuitive.

Who's "they"? I sure didn't say anything of the sort about Katamari.

My reaction was probably something along the lines of, "Wow, I'm rolling a ball around...can we do something else now?"

Hey, the game was surprisingly fun, challenging and even relaxing.

I mean, it is extremely satisfying starting with a ball and picking up ants, then having a colossal ball and pluck whole islands and continents like they were daisies.

The sequel was unnecesary and the creator is a bit of a dick, but the first game I shall relish.

Sounds like the sequel was another Viewtiful Joe 2. HENSHIN A FLOP-FLOP, BABY

so much for that fanchise.

I would have bought VJ2 if it had co-op play. However, that feature got dropped. I blame the PS2.

Anyone else notice that VGRevolution is out-optimisticing Bill (even from when he was in his prime?) =P

PS: Elebits was still boring at the press event last month. I felt as though I was dozing off while playing.

You'll see, you'll ALL see.

As an FYI, there's only one staffer signed up to review Elebits, and that's me. Allow me to /naysay a bit more, but I'm going to be very open when I actually play it.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #62 on:** October 18, 2006, 03:28:38 PM »

One thing I really like about what I have read of the game is the concept of moving around the enviroments, doing certain interactive tasks, and getting rewarded for it. Things like making a basket with the basketball or putting a turkey in the oven. It's like easter eggs with a purpose!

SixthAngel · « **Reply #63 on:** December 03, 2006, 12:51:56 PM »

These two new videos have me completely stoked for this game all over again.Place
Zero G

In the first video the player is placing the elebits around and then playing the level. This may mean that we can build our very own levels (then send them to friends through wii connect24?). The second video shows the options of sandbox mode where the gravity can be turned all the way down to zero. Looking at this game I would probably buy it just for the sandbox mode.

My question is why didn't the TV all when you moved what was supporting it?

chris1932 · « **Reply #65 on:** December 04, 2006, 07:23:57 AM »

So do you think this will be worth asking for come Xmas?

SixthAngel · « **Reply #66 on:** December 04, 2006, 04:45:37 PM »

IGN says you should put it under your tree. Preview

matt oz · « **Reply #67 on:** December 04, 2006, 05:00:54 PM »

I'm even gladder I pre-ordered this now.

With a plushie!

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #68 on:** December 10, 2006, 05:16:07 PM »

Quick question, is this game releasing this Tuesday(12/12) or the following Tuesday(12/19)? I see Gamespot/Gamestop/EBGames has it listed as the 12th while IGN and Kotaku have it as the 19th. I saw the 12th and I smiled because I thought it was the 19th, then IGN crushed my dreams. I'd love to be playing this in 2 days rather than 9.

Donutt007 · « **Reply #69 on:** December 11, 2006, 06:53:01 AM »

According to the folks that make the game it's coming out
12/12
Konami

I think I'll trust them

SixthAngel · « **Reply #70 on:** December 11, 2006, 03:42:55 PM »

IGN has a review up and it looks like a winner. I already have it preordered so I will find out tomorrow either way.

At least, IGN think its a winner.

I would like to see a bit more reviews, since the game did receive some mixed impressions after E3.

I am beginning to get interested on the game, so I will rent it when it becomes available.

Amodaus1 · « **Reply #72 on:** December 11, 2006, 04:10:35 PM »

Like a dumbass i didn't see this thread, and made one. Anyway, for everyone who is picking this title up, if you could come back to this thread and tell me how the game is i'd be very apriciative. I'm on the fence for this game, I think it looks great, but i don't want to be dissapointed with something like a very short single player. SO thanks in advance to anyone who drops by and talks about the game.

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #73 on:** December 11, 2006, 08:02:45 PM »

u could also wait for Svevan's review, i know i am.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #74 on:** December 12, 2006, 01:14:00 AM »

I'll be picking this up in a few hours. I'll post some detailed impressions tonite in this thread.

EDIT: Nevermind, guess today was the ship date, so I'll put up impressions tomorrow night.
