Games for the Nintendo Wii have to pass a higher standard than most: They have to be fun to look at and play, and they also have to make good use of the Wii’s unique remote control-style controller.

Konami’s “Elebits” makes a solid showing in all categories. The basic game is simple: You’re on the hunt for tiny creatures with antennae called Elebits that, when captured, can restore power to devices that have been turned off by a power outage. You use the controller to point and shoot at the Elebits to capture them, and you also use it to open doors, turn on electrical devices, fling objects around, rummage through drawers and even turn things upside down.
