New Wii Game Turns You Into a Food Fighter

Mle13

Major League Eating is a new Wii game coming out in Japan on October 14. It's like any other sports game, except the contestants must compete in an eating contest. The idea is to use the Wiimote to carry food to your mouth as fast as you can; along the way, you can pick up items like farts and burps.

The star of the game? Takeru Kobayashi, of course. Joey Chestnut, the dude who beat him for the last two years in a row at the Coney Island hot dog eating contest, is in it too. It's the first video game ever featuring the world's best food fighters.

No word yet as to whether you can shoose to be 22-year old cutsey super eater  Gal Sone. She's my favorite.

Comments

If any American fans of pretend-eating want in on this game, it was released on July 14th as a downloadable WiiWare game for 10 bucks.

I don't think Gal Sone is in the game, but... a bear is.
