Konami Considering Elebits Sequel for Wii

Konami recently discussed the jump to the world of portables for Elebits, with the possibility for a Wii version.

Discussing the series with Siliconera, Konami producer Gregg Nolan revealed that a second Elebits game for Wii is being considered, with the story and interactivity with the DS version penned down.

Wait you said Elebits is probably going to come out for the Wii? Do you mean there is going to be Elebits: Adventures of Kai & Zero on the Wii or is there going to be a brand new Elebits game?

This is also a good question. One question I've asked of our producers and we sat and discussed this. There are a lot of press and fans that enjoyed the first game on the Wii and my question to my producer and the game designers was is the DS story the new direction for the franchise?

Mukaitouge-san who is the producer of the first one basically said that the DS experience will be the next direction for the next DS experience. The first Wii game will be the story and the starting point for the next Wii game. There will be two stories that happen in tandem, one on the Wii and one on the DS. They will overlap with characters, environments, and things like that, but each platform will have its own experience.

For the possible Wii game have you thought about using DS features or codes where you can use the DS game to unlock something on the Wii game?

Yeah, all publishers and developers are looking for ways to be innovative in the gaming space. The more we can integrate the two platforms through codes or whatever the better experience it's going to be for our fans and gamers. Of course, this is something we're looking at. The story for the next Wii title hasn't been completely nailed down yet so as far as more details on your question I can't speak to it.

On whether the company see Elebits growing into a fully-blown franchise, Nolan confessed: "We certainly appreciate the support of the press and fans. That's what's going to make this a greater franchise. The better job we do will translate into a better experience for you and for fans. That will take the franchise to the next level."
