Wii eating simulator!

I originally thought this must be some kind of April Fool’s joke, but it seems to be legitimate!

Mastiff Games are to release an eating simulator for the Nintendo Wii under the title “Major League Eating - The Game”!

Developed under exclusive license from from Major League Eating and the International Federation of Competitive Eating, Major League Eating: The Game features the world’s greatest gurgitory athletes competing across twelve different food types.

Built much like a fighting game, MLE: The Game requires players to show brilliant on-screen eating; a mastery of offensive and defensive weapons including burps, belches, and mustard gas; and of course the technical mastery necessary to avoid emptying one’s stomach in a vividly colored reversal of fortune.

And yes, I also thought there could no such thing as the “Major League Eating and the International Federation of Competitive Eating”, but see this web site!
