Smilie why the suddon change of name....... whats wrong with Elebits??? Is there a company in Europe called Elebits??

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

wHAT A fuckING sttttuuupid NAME. Whoever decided upon that must have a 20inch BLANK stuck up their BLANK. These silly last minute name changes (eg Sonic Wildfire , which was cool to something idiotic as Secret of the Rings) is starting to get on my nerves.

What da Funk??? From Elebits to Eledees.........I am soooo not getting this games now.

Edit: Calm it Kermit.

That is quite ass. I hate the new name to be honest. I thought the portemanteau of "electricity" and "bits" was great. And, before someone says "Oh, well, people didn't like the name Wii at first, but now...blah blah blah" - It is called Wii in every territory. This isn't called Eledees in every territory.

Does that mean that the voice acting will be improved, since they will have to change Elebits to Eledees in the cut scenes?

I can just imagine if this guy wrote for a gaming magazine.

"Alround Eledees is a great game. Makes use of wiiconnect24, full use of the wiimote and a control set up that would have Red Steel developers masturbating furiously.
That is until we come to the name change.
Forget everything you have read in the last 2 pages of this game being great, I now think that this game sucks to level 1. Eledees are big sucking funk's. And they can suck my funk.
Bunch of 20 inch funk suckers."

Nintendo changed the name of its console from Revolution to Wii, does that mean you wont be buying one? (If you do buy a console I highly recommend YOU get extra thick wrist straps, i know you will be one of "Those" people :lolSmilie

Name is shit.

The game looks great

I'm not bothered what it's called. It still looks like one of the few upcoming games I'm interested in. What are the the WiiConnect24 features, I thought the game was already out in Japan and US

They have changed the name of a very boring looking game. I am appalled and shocked. I will not sleep tonight. Good day to you sir.

^That was the worst comeback I've ever read on this forum^

I know most of you are joking but who cares what the game is called. From a ridiculous name to a slightly more ridiculous (yet clever, if the LED pun is intentional) name.

Star to whoever picked the LED pun first.

What exactly is so bad about calling it Eledees anyway?
