NOA PR:

It’s time to break some skulls in a smashing new adventure. The Skull Rollers, an evil crime syndicate, has stolen your most prized possession, a red diamond that belonged to your deceased mother. Now it’s up to you and your fellow thieves to penetrate their hideout and take it back.

With the help of your trusty Breakall Drillbot, you can plow through just about anything in your path. Use the L and R buttons to change the direction of the rotation. Explore every inch of the gang’s hideout to find hidden gears that will beef up your ride. Screw Breaker is developed by GAME FREAK, known worldwide for its smash-hit Pokémon games.

Wow. It has a "red diamond" from my "deceased mother", which is stolen by the evil "The Skull Rollers." I've never seen more cliché´s in one louzy PR-bit.

I'm still quite curious how this game will turn out though. It's done by GameFreak, so it has to be good.

It was pretty fun at E3 if a bit repetitive.

Went looking for a backlit SP today at BicCamera and Sofmap. The Japanese staff didn't seem to know there was a GBA SPv2 and kept showing my GB Micros saying "no no, this is the nicer screen you heard about".

Frustrated I picked up a few games. Screwbreaker being one of them. Gamefreak did a great job with it. It plays very well and has a bit more variety than when I first messed with the game. If you're in need of a few GBA titles to mess with on your SPv2 or Micro I highly recommend this game.

Looks awesome. Is there any Quarter specified for NA release?

Any Japanese GAFers get it yet? Impressions?

ddk -- pretty sure the SP+ isn't available in Japan. Unlike the US, they'd never pull that stealth BS here. They'd have a big announcement about it first, most likely. Japanese consumers are more picky about that sort of thing.

Looking forward to more indepth impressions.

me wants this badly... really enjoyed the E3 demo...
and it's good to see that they get a chance to do non-pokemon stuff...
