Konami is teaming up once again with the producer of Elebits to bring you a new "action adventure" game tentatively titled Dewy's Adventure. The best I can tell, Dewy's adventure uses a Loco Roco-esque style of gameplay where the player manipulates the surroundings to get the rogue little dewdrop to bend to their will. Not being a huge fan of Elebits, I won't be picking this particular title up, but I know a lot of people loved it so I figured I'd put my personal feelings aside and present this video for your consideration.

KONAMI ANNOUNCES DEWY S ADVENTURE FOR THE WII ?

New Action Adventure Game Puts the Power of the Elements in Players Hands
with Intuitive Wii Remote ? Controls

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. February 2, 2007 Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
today announced Dewy's Adventure (working title), an original action title
exclusively for the Wii ? from the producer that created the critically
acclaimed Elebits. Dewy's Adventure lets players use the Wii Remote ? to
control the elements and manipulate the terrain of the game world as they
help a small droplet of water save its home world from a mysterious dark
force.

Dewy's Adventure introduces players to a world where pure green forests
flourished under the careful watch of the towering Elder Tree. However, a
mysterious dark force known as the evil Don Hedron has taken hold of the
Elder Tree and transformed the land into a gloomy world shrouded in shadows
and fog. Using the last of its remaining power, the Elder Tree created a
small droplet of water named Dewy and granted him the power of the elements
with hope that he could overcome the evil Don Hedron and restore tranquility
to the land.

Taking advantage of the unique Wii Remote, Dewy s Adventure grants players
full control over the game world and the elements as they take control of
Dewy and seek to overcome the evil Don Hedron. Players can tilt the Wii
Remote to create inclines in the landscape, moving the droplet to precisely
the right spot while rotating the environment to solve puzzles. Most often
found as a small ball of water, Dewy can alter the temperature of his
immediate area to transform into ice and mist. These transformations are
useful in freezing or heating different parts of the world to solve puzzles
and also to defeat the game s fearsome enemies.

Players can also take control of the elements by using motion-specific
gestures with the Wii Remote, such as shaking it to cause an earthquake,
waving it to create gusts of wind or summoning blots of lightning while in
mist form. Combined with Dewy's three different forms and landscape tilting
abilities, these skills provide players with extensive control over the
environment and a great degree of freedom in approaching each of the game's
six stages.

In addition to a single player story mode, Dewy's Adventure also features an
edit mode that allows for full customization of complete stages with unique
puzzles, different types of landscape and a wide variety of enemies. These
stages can be played alone or enjoyed cooperatively with a friend.

"Dewy's Adventure emphasizes Konami's commitment to creating innovative
software for the Wii with one of a kind gameplay, unique motion sensitive
controls, and a colorful game world packed with memorable characters," said
Wilson Cheng, Product Manager with Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
"Building upon the success of Elebits, Dewy's Adventure is poised to deliver
another exciting and accessible gaming experience that is only possible
through the immersive Wii hardware."

Dewy s Adventure will launch for the Wii in 2007. For more information,
