Elebits will be Konami's first Wii title. The critters of the game look like Pikmin and apparently serve as a fuel source for the world in which you play. Sounds a little evil.

From a translated chunk of the Famitsu article:

In Elebits, players move around a game world, attempting to find and collect Elebit creatures. Elebits are small and cute like Pikmin, but they actually serve as the energy source that makes the game's world move. The "Ele" in the name appears to stand for Electricity, with the "Bits" reflecting that the characters are tiny.
