Announced at E3 2006, Nintendo's upcoming Wii title Disaster: Day of Crisis has been kept under wraps (visually) since. Developed by Monolith Soft—famous for RPGs Baten Kaitos and Xenosaga—Disaster is marketed as "a panic-inducing survival game" which will see our hero Ray attempting to reclaim a nuclear weapon while avoiding a number of natural disasters.

This single screen features the promised (new word alert!) "roaring pyroclastic flow" and heaps of crotch pointing. It also gives us a good indication what "gripping visuals" means at the Nintendo marketing department. Still no word on a release date, but we'll assume it will occur sometime in the future.
