Konami's Wii launch window title Elebits is headed for Europe in the spring, but Europeans following its release in Japan and North America might not recognize it when it gets there.
The title is now apparently "Eledees", and it's slated to hit Europe this spring. Konami seems to be changing more than the name; the Elebit cookies, which you could break against the floor to woo Elebits out of hiding for a limited time, is apparently now a canister of "love gas".
Elebits, despite taking a TGS best-in-show award, did relatively poorly in its home country, though anecdotally, sales are picking up here now that 2006 has come and gone. Time and sales figures will tell whether it becomes a memorable part of Wii's launch.
