Put down your trusty Nintendo Switch for just a moment, folks; the Wii U's getting a new game tomorrow and it looks fittingly bonkers.

Meet El Silla - Arcade Edition, an arcade game where your one and only task is to whack everyone in the head with a chair. It really is as simple as that; players need to help the titular El Silla hit each new character he encounters with a chair to progress.

The original game is actually available for free on smartphones and PC, but this Arcade Edition includes new levels, an achievement system, and uses the Wii U Gamepad's motion controls for a realistic chair-whacking feel. The Wii U's tech is finally being utilised exactly how we dreamt it would.

You can see how it all works in this gameplay demonstration video below.

If you're interested, you can pick the game up starting from tomorrow for just £1 / 1€ from the Wii U eShop (a North American release hasn't been confirmed).
