Elebits to be first game to utilize the WiiConnect24 service

Looks like the rumor was true! This WiiConnect 24 service we've heard so much about is getting its first compatible game in Elebits, Konami's find-em-all environmental hunting game thing releasing next month. We all knew what the game was about, but now we have a whole new facet of the experience for our mouths to collectively water over (that's a lotta drool!). Barring any interference from rich, crotchety old Dukes, the game's WiiConnect24 features will include:

• Create and trade custom maps to friends online
  
• Support for taking screenshots and sending them to friends

Not much, we know, but a promising precedent set that should pave the way for other developers to crack the shell wide open and allow us to savor the tasty nut within. We can't wait to trade our places with all of you upon the game's release!
