Out this week from Konami is a DS title of Elebits, the game previously found on the Wii that let players catch adorable creatures of energy by pointing with the Wii Mote at them. Previews for the DS title, however, as well as the demo that was available on the Wii, reveal what looks like a disappointing use of the touch screen and stylus. Instead of focusing on the collection mechanic, we're stuck with a top-down adventure game -- with a few elebit-catching moments thrown in for good measure. If you liked the original, that's sure to make this new title feel like a weak follow-up.

Razorback Developments' The Chase: Felix Meets Felicity, a platform game about two couriers running across town in order to meet for a first date, is an exceptionally weird game. Even for the DS. It has a weird, cute, nonviolent storyline, quirky humor, a unique look, and a gameplay style that combines familiar elements to create something that feels surprisingly fresh. At least, that's the impression I've come away with after a few levels!

Hand-drawn cutscenes tell the story of whichever character you choose: hapless Felix or lonely Felicity. The overall story is the same for both: a chance meeting on the way to delivering packages sets the game in motion, as they agree to meet at the pier for ice cream the next day. When the day arrives, both have to rush across town (on foot, because they're broke) to meet on time and avoid a giant rainstorm.
