Since there's no screen yet, I thought I'd share this here. Just got that early today ;
UNITED STATES 22nd March 2008, Leviathan Games and video game publisher Konami Digital Entertainment, today announced that their upcoming title, Furniture Breaker, will make its debut as an exclusive title on WiiWareTM, Nintendo's new downloadable game service for the WiiTM console, which launches May 12 in North America. The game will make extensive use of the Wii RemoteTM to simulate the fast and furious action of a lone hero seeking destruction in a world where things break.

"‘Furniture Breaker’ is like playing a movie! The magic of video games bridges balls to the walls action, intense decision making and intriguing levels to create an emotional connection between players and the main character," said Wyeth Ridgway, Founder & President of Leviathan Games. "We are also excited to bring truly immersive gaming for the first time ever on the WiiTM console. We aimed at a
totally unique experience, and think we achieved so. This game will keep you busy for days if not years".

Set in New York city, Furniture Breaker follows the story of Bryan Glow, a 14 years old student. After renting a popular game from the local gamestore, things start to fall apart. Once at home, the console refuses to read any disc, thwarting Bryan's plan for the week end. Furious of having spent 50$ for his one week rental, the young man goes to his friend's home. History repeats itself, the console won't play the disc. Thinking it's the disc, he makes the call to the gamestore asking for assistance, only to be answered by an old lady telling him to stop harrassing
her. Bryan unleashes his fury in the house. Clearly, some form of evil from outer this world is keeping him from playing this disc. In his path to destruction, will our hero find the answer to this enigma?

"It is amazing. Never a story so well-crafted has been penned before, it evens surpass the script of Metal Gear Solid®," admitted Kagemasa Kozuki, Chief Executive Officer of Konami Digital Entertainment in a conference call with investors. "This game defines the new direction our company is focusing on. The WiiTM immense popularity could transform it really quickly into a national pastime".

If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh.
