Konami has said it will be bringing the Eledees back to life on the DS this winter.
Dubbed The Adventures of Kai and Zeo, this handheld game acts as a sequel to the Wii instalment released last May. That, incidentally, has a decent Metacritic score of 75 per cent.
Eleedes, or Elebits to give them their US title, are little creatures that serve as an energy source for the game and produce electricity when clumped together.
Your job is to go around and collect them with your Ghostbusters-like gun, so that they can follow you around like Pikmin and help you later on. Your gun also clears obstacles from your path.
It all looks to have retained its colourful and attractive presentation, and Konami promises Wi-Fi battles for up-to four players and easy-to-use touch-screen controls.

Sony and Nintendo are planning to expand their operations in the Asian market outside of Japan, targeting Taiwan and South Korea specifically.
According to the Japanese daily Nikkei, as reported by Thomson Financial, Nintendo is working on a special "localised" version of its DS handheld in Taiwan, to be sold through mobile phone stores.
No specific information was available as to what form that localisation will take, but it will be available by the end of July, with plans to extend the SKU into China by the end of 2008.
Meanwhile Sony has announced its own plans for Taiwan, which includes working with the government on training local education authority staff on game development, and making new titles available via the PlayStation Network.
Sony will also expand its operations in South Korea, a territory in which Nintendo has begun working with local developers and expects to ship 20 DS titles before the end of this year. ...by Published on July 7th, 2008 18:29

Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg has said that consumers are buying Nintendo's Wii as a "novelty" machine similar to home karaoke machines.
Speaking to Gamasutra, the outspoken director of product management for Micorsoft's gaming business said that he believes consumers aren't buying Nintendo's home console for games, and that those same consumers will eventually “graduate” to the Xbox 360.
“You see they're not buying games on it, right? They're buying it, it's like something they break out when people come over, and it's maybe a fun thing, but it's almost like the same people that buy a karaoke machine, you know?" said Greenberg of the consoles popularity with consumers new to gaming.
"They're not really buying it for games, they're just buying it as a novelty."
Greenberg believes that the Xbox 360 can appeal to mainstream consumers, not just the hardcore audience, and that the popularity of the Wii will push consumers looking for a new experience to Microsoft's home console over time.
"I think that there's a difference in the type of customer that is buying the Wii. When you think about it, there's a difference between trying to be the number one console with nine year old gamers, and being the console that offers the most experiences from 13 to 33," he said.
"In this generation we're seeing record revenues for the US and globally for the business, and we're seeing more people buying and playing games than ever before, and the Wii is definitely part of that. And as they grow that pie, that benefits us too, because those customers are eventually going to want to graduate to an Xbox 360 experience."
Sales of the Wii in North America were 675,100 units during May 2008, as it outsold its rivals for the fourth consecutive month. According to figures from NPD, the Xbox 360 sold 186,600 units in the same month. ...by Published on July 7th, 2008 18:25
