IGN's Mark Bozon did a nice quick look at some of the Elebits - from their self-titled game Elebits from Konami. As many of you know, Elebits are strange creatures that provide energy for the world - "Elebits" is sort of short for "electricity bits". The game is set at a time when the Elebits stop providing power.

It's up to you to find them and catch them using your anti-gravity capture gun. Here's what Mark Bozon found so far:

  • Sky Elebit (Boss): This orange Elebit can manipulate gravity and create tornadoes to attacks its foes.
  • Large Yellow Elebit: Yellow Elebits attract smaller Elebits to become big - the biggest of normal Elebits. They throw things at people who get too close.
  • Small Yellow Elebit: Yellow Elebits combine with others to make a big Elebit. They love cookies and other sweet foods.
  • Gray Elebit: This is supposed to be the most powerful of the common normal Elebits.
  • Blue Elebit. This fast-moving creature can make a smoke screen to escape.
  • Pink Elebits: These are rare and hard to catch.
  • Black Elebits: These are friendly Elebits but their spikes make them unpopular.
Elebits is already out in Japan. It will debut in the U.S. on December 12. It's becoming something of a cult hit and is getting a big following in Japan. A new Pokemon-like craze for the Wii generation? We'll see.

That pinky mousy elebit with stars sparkling around it (bottom row, center) is too damn cute for words. Although, it sorta strikes me weird that the pink stars remind me of General Armstrong from FMA. Noooooooo!!!

Product placement in games is something I've typically only seen in sports games, but is that an LG monitor in the picture above with the mousie elebit as described by the poster above?? Takes me back to collecting Chupa Chups in Zool
