The Wiire’s managing editor, Rob Galbreath, sat down with Konami Group Manager Denins Lee to discuss the company’s first project for the Nintendo Wii, Elebits.

“The Wii controller is used as an extension of your arm while you’re playing. While you’re playing the game you’re able to interact with anything in the environment. You’re able to push, pull, lift, throw anything, and you use the Wii controller to seamlessly do that.”

“The nunchuck is used as well for camera control and moving your character and the other half of the controller is basically what you’re using to grab and to pull things. “

“It is one player for sure, and the team is investigating ways of making it multiplayer, but nothing has been confirmed for that. “

Miyamoto unveiled the game everybody wondered about after Nintendo’s pre-E3 conference, Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii.

It turns out last year Miyamoto spoke to the Masahiro Sakurai about creating another Smash Bros game. A new team was put together just for this game.

There are two parts to this announcement that should please Smash Bros fans. The first is that Sakurai insisted on this game not using the Wii controller, so the GameCube controller is yet again what players will use to battle each other with Nintendo characters.

Single player mode will have some changes, though Sakurai didn’t mention them. And there will be an online multiplayer mode.

But I guess I can’t just say “Nintendo characters” now. Nintendo has announced a new character from a third party developer. First, these are the new Nintendo game characters: Pit (from Kid Icarus), Samus in the Zero suit, Metaknight, and Wario. And Konami has graciously offered up its own character: Snake (from Metal Gear Solid for you hermit folks).

Konami first Nintendo WII title will be Elebits.

In Elebits, players move around a game world, attempting to find and collect Elebit creatures. Elebits are small and cute like Pikmin, but they actually serve as the energy source that makes the game’s world move. The “Ele” in the name appears to stand for Electricity, with the “Bits” reflecting that the characters are tiny. The game will offer a feel of “hunting,” suggesting that perhaps the Elebits won’t just be sitting around waiting to get caught.

So get ready to get thuis great game for the Nintendo Wii
