Elebits to be first game to utilize the WiiConnect24 service

Looks like the rumor was true! This WiiConnect 24 service we've heard so much about is getting its first compatible game in Elebits, Konami's find-em-all environmental hunting game thing releasing next month. We all knew what the game was about, but now we have a whole new facet of the experience for our mouths to collectively water over (that's a lotta drool!). Barring any interference from rich, crotchety old Dukes, the game's WiiConnect24 features will include:- Create and trade custom maps to friends online
- Support for taking screenshots and sending them to friends
[Thanks Matt!]

Looking Good, Billy Ray! Feeling Good, Lewis!
Seriously, you guys come up with the best photos ever.

Doesn't this contradict Nintendo's statement that the Online library would not be released to developers until early next year? Or are they just giving preferential treatment to favored developers? (like Konami, obviously)
Or are they only releasing CERTAIN online libraries to developers, withholding True Online Gameplay?
Either way, this shall silence those who claim that Wii software has no online functionality yet

I've seen Trading Places, but could someone explain the picture's relation to the article? Just people having a good time?

Dude! I just watched Trading Places! Is the poster from the UK at all?
On topic, I can only hope that this ushers in more online games, faster!

Create and Trade custom maps.. ?
From the looks of the game, that means to me that we could recreate our own home in the game.. Thatd rock.. I think.. :)

I'm actually more interested in the ability to take screenshots. It's one feature that's been missing from consoles for too long, and there have been plenty of game situations where I would have liked the option to take a snapshot.
