Konami Confirms Zephyr: Rise Of The Elements For Wii

Rip up the landscape as an element of destruction
Konami has confirmed that Zephyr: Rise of the Elements is coming to Nintendo's Wii console
The game places you in the shoes (assuming they have shoes) of a tornado, with the ultimate objective being to cause as much carnage as possible to the surrounding location.
The game takes place over 11 levels and promises a co-op mode where you and a friend can team up to really inflict some pain.
The game is also coming out on Microsoft's Xbox 360 and the Sony's Playstation 3 console, and is being developed by Loose Cannon, a team made up of ex-Sucker Punch staffers.

Zephyr, a fancy word for a wind, no? Could be interesting, as long as its better than that tornado cellphone game.

I thought this said you were a TOMATO and your goal was to create as much carnage as possible. Heh.

Is this the first in a series of natural-disaster-em-ups?
Can I trademark 'Tsunami: Catch The Wave!'

@Golgo
That might be a good idea you should do it as your idea could earn you millions.

Mmh, it is interesting to see how the physics from the Wii version will be in comparison to the other versions.

A game about destroying as much real estate as possible as a tornado, and that's being developed by people who worked on the Sly games?
I'm in.

The setup reminds me a bit of "I Was an Atomic Mutant" (PC) which got boring rather quickly. Hopefully this game won't be suffer from the same flaw.

The basic premise reminds me of Katamari.

Well, I was thinking Elements of Destruction (there's an XBLA game and a DS game of that name but while they have a similar plot they play completely different)

I'm still skeptical about this one. There is already a tornado based game (Tornado) on the DS, and that was only average. Although Zepher (sweet name, by the way) somewhat feels like Katamari, I got bored of the demo of Katamari, and Tornado suffered from the same boredom problems, so...pass for now, but if new info intrigues me, I could change my mind.
