You bitch if there isn't online support and you bitch if it's not enough.

What's the deal? Can you ever be happy? For Nintendo's target audience this will be perfect!

wait, points are charged for this?
does that mean we have to pay to do this?
or are these in-game points?

@2: I'd assume ingame points, such as the system in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow with the Enemy Set feature.

yeah, in game points, you don't make the points, every time you start the level builder you start out with 1000 points (this is a way of keeping a small file size and making it so people can't crash the system.)

@ 2

i took it as each "map" you make theres a max of 1000 points you can place on the landscape so say a trashcan for instance took 10 "points" to place, you would max the map upon placing 100 of them...

am i wrong?

The point system sounds like a way to keep memory usage under control.

If you were allowed to just dump thousands of objects into a scene you would quickly find yourself watching a slideshow at 2 frames per second...

Anyone who has used and abused the HalfLife2 mod "Garry's Mod" (GMOD) knows that it's easy to get carried away with this sort of thing! ;)


And for anyone who was curious, this is in NO WAY tied to "Wii Points".
(IOW, they don't charge for this Elebits feature)

I sure hope your joking asking such a dumb ass question, when the guy above you just explained that in game points is the points you'll be using. The idea is brillant in my opinion. Thats a great way to keep people playing, also developers could add more content whenever they feel like it, adding newly designed stages with elebits in different places, making it harder and more fun. Im actully a Wii bit more excited by the title now.
