Nintendo celebrates E3 by releasing Major League Eating for WiiWare

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.

Anyone who makes fun of this game is nuts.

I must be a frothing-at-the-mouth, straightjacket-ripping, eating-the-padded-wall-stuffing raving mad lunatic.
This game is stupid. :P

Obesity FTW! This is a nice compliment to Wii Fit.
FOXHOUND @ Jul 14th 2008 12:25PM
Actually, I was going to say that the mouth on the left kinda looks like he's eating Wario(WARIOWARE style).
But it might just my eyes. Yeah.

This idea is pretty effing gay if you ask me. I'm talking pink leotard and glitter lipstick gay.
NATO_Duke @ Jul 14th 2008 11:47AM
Um, yay?
xFenixKnightx @ Jul 14th 2008 11:49AM
OMMFG!!!
Someone needs to get fired, quick!
samfish @ Jul 14th 2008 11:49AM
Oh, how I hope this is not a shadow of things to come tomorrow.

I hope Nintendos conference is nothing but 2 hours talking about this game along with a real eating conference.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Jul 14th 2008 11:53AM
That would be somewhat awesome.
deaftly @ Jul 14th 2008 12:31PM
Real eating conference?!?
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Jul 14th 2008 11:51AM
Calm the fuck down people, Jesus it's just a Wiiware title.
Damn people like to overreact.
samfish @ Jul 14th 2008 11:52AM
Damn straight we do!
NATO_Duke @ Jul 14th 2008 11:55AM
That's how we roll.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Jul 14th 2008 11:55AM
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.
WRE: I own all 3! (4 if you count the DS.) @ Jul 14th 2008 11:56AM
I'M overreacting?! YOU'RE OVERREACTING!!! THIS WHOLE COMMENTS SECTION IS OVERREACTING!!!
Dirty @ Jul 14th 2008 11:59AM
Third party software is great, just not on anything nintendo.
xFenixKnightx @ Jul 14th 2008 12:12PM
Duke
+1 for the indeliberate Brucie B quote :D
Vegeta
Sure its just a Wiiware title, but the question is WHY? lmao!
The_Punisher @ Jul 14th 2008 12:24PM
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
deaftly @ Jul 14th 2008 12:30PM
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Blazur @ Jul 14th 2008 12:42PM
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN WE LIKE TO OVERREACT?!? THAT'S COMPLETE BS!!!
samfish @ Jul 14th 2008 12:45PM
WE DO *TOO* OVER REACT AND *FUCK YOU* FOR SUGGESTING THAT WE DON'T, YOU DIRTY, ROTTEN COCKSUCKER!
hvnlysoldr @ Jul 14th 2008 1:25PM
For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction; therefore, for every logical action there is an opposite and greater overreaction.
The_Punisher @ Jul 14th 2008 11:54AM
I'm just waiting for Fernando to say how cool this is, and how underrated the game is and try to rub it in people's face cuz it's not on PSN/XBLA.
*waits*
juju187 @ Jul 14th 2008 12:00PM
the controls are great...
ANTCEP @ Jul 14th 2008 12:07PM

shovleware

Shadow Hog @ Jul 14th 2008 11:55AM
Still waiting for Strong Bad. I really wish they'd give us some release dates so I'd know what to anticipate each week; as it is, it's just disappointment every Monday.
eldee @ Jul 14th 2008 11:55AM
This game is clearly made to help sell more Wii Fit units!
Dirty @ Jul 14th 2008 12:00PM
Who's hungry!
samfish @ Jul 14th 2008 12:21PM
I'm quite hungry, actually.
I'm debating whether I should go out and get lunch before 1:00 for the first time in forever so as not to miss MS's presser or just wait until it's over, though.
The_Punisher @ Jul 14th 2008 12:26PM
Don't wait, especially if MS announced a title like this and you run away to get food :)
I got my bingo card ready
Kspraydad @ Jul 14th 2008 12:00PM
See...this is why Stringer is wrong...the Wii is absolutely competition for the PS3.
Mr Khan @ Jul 14th 2008 12:30PM
That and the fact that the PS3 lost MH3 to the Wii
That could be construed as competition
Kye - WiiDSixty DF @ Jul 14th 2008 12:16PM
*slaps forehead with palm*
Jhongerkong @ Jul 14th 2008 1:20PM
stop hitting yourself
The_Punisher @ Jul 14th 2008 12:31PM
....ARE YOU CALLING THE PS3 FAT!?!!?!?

Welcome to America

justinslot @ Jul 14th 2008 12:54PM
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.)
