February 29, 2008 - Videogame publisher Mastiff on Friday revealed that it is developing an exclusive new WiiWare title called Major League Eating: The Game. The effort will debut with the launch of Nintendo's WiiWare service on May 12, but the company has not yet set a Wii Point value.
According to Mastiff, the project will make extensive use of the Wii remote to "simulate the fast and furious action of a professional eating contest."
"Watching Major League Eating is like watching poetry in motion" said Bill Swartz of 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."
More from the official release: "Built much like a classic fighting game and deeper than a Chicago style deep-dish pizza, MLE: The Game requires players to master a smorgasbord of offensive and defensive weapons including bites, burps, belches, mustard gas and jalapeño flames while cramming and chewing food at a world-class pace. It's not for the faint of heart, the slow of reflex, or those with an overly strong aversion to a Technicolor reversal of fortune."
Players will use the Wii remote to execute different eating techniques, including the cram, toss and typewriter. There will also be burp-offs and hot potato challenges.
Major League Eating features offline play for two gamers, an online play mode and also leader board tracking.
Ok, Its great that there are tons of new WiiWare games, but we need something more interesting than this.
Also, how many games do you think there will be on WiiWare launch, and do you expect the overall quality of anounced games to rise or drop?
Discuss.
