[Wii] WiiWare Exclusive: Major League Eating: The Game

It’s chow time on the Wii!




Publisher Mastiff announced yesterday that their upcoming title Major League Eating: The Game will be a WiiWare exclusive. According to Mastiff, this game will make extensive use of the Wii Remote to help capture all the action of a professional eating competition.

MLE: The Game offers two player online play and a leader board to keep track of who's on top. You can choose from the world's greatest gurgitory atheletes like hot dog eating champion Takeru Kobayashi or current world champ Joey Chestnut.

Expect combat moves in the form of burps, belches, mustard gas and jalapeño flames to keep the action and laughs alive.

I like the idea, the guys seem to be having fun with it, just check out some of the words from the press release:

"Watching Major League Eating is like watching poetry in motion" says Bill Swartz, Head Woof at Mastiff. "Professional gurgitators have the grace of ballerinas yet the brute strength, mental focus, and intestinal fortitude to push their bodies and minds as hard as athletes in any other extreme endurance sport. Victory is sweet and defeat can be well, really, really messy. It's an experience we're proud to help bring into the home."


Poetry in motion, those are some deep words. Check it out this May.
