Distancing itself from Microsoft's strategy of releasing anticipated online content (and, erm, Coffee Time Crosswords) during E3 2008, Nintendo has opted instead to give us Major League Eating: The Game for this week's WiiWare title.
We're letting the press release speak for itself: "This isn't just a race to stuff your face-you'll need strategy to master a smorgasbord of digestive attacks, defenses and counters. These include the Mega Burp, Gas Attack, Antacid and more. And don't forget to keep an eye on your Barf-O-Meter, because if the food hits the plate twice, you're out."
Fighting through the Barf-O-Meter will set you back $10. Here's hoping for a few surprises coming from the press conference.

I hope Nintendos conference is nothing but 2 hours talking about this game along with a real eating conference.

lol, but seriously it's just one little third party game. I think even a retard would know that the third party software is going to be less than stellar.
All I'm saying is relax. I'm sure we'll get some good stuff at Nintendo's press conference.

For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction; therefore, for every logical action there is an opposite and greater overreaction.

Don't wait, especially if MS announced a title like this and you run away to get food :)

Can I play as Kobayashi? Joey Chestnut? EATER X? Because then it would be a must-buy.
Holy crap--I just went to the official site and you can play as every competitive eater I've ever heard of. This is officially the greatest thing on Wiiware. (Except for Ed "Cookie" Jarvis. Rosenhaus must be his agent.)
