Major League Eaters become major gamers


The competitive eaters out there are a true inspiration for the children. Everyone felt sick (except the eaters) after the original press event for Major League Eating: The Game, but this time the food is ditched entirely. It's still a tough competition, but the pros are trying their hand at the game itself, munching the Wiimote as if it were made of sweet, sweet candy.

In hindsight, the professionals down their food faster than lighting, so it probably wouldn't make much difference if they were eating hot dogs or Wiimotes. They won't be gorging on Nintendo accessories anytime soon, but it's the funniest display of fake eating since, well, this.

Do you trust Major League Eating to feed you?

We'd be afraid to accept food from Major League Eating. We'd worry they'd want to time us while we ate it, or televise it. But if your constitution is bold enough to accept the possibility of such a challenge, then check out the official website for the WiiWare Major League Eating game. Each week for the next 12 weeks, Mastiff will give away eight $15 gift certificates good for a "Food of the Week" as selected by the publisher. This week: pizza!

The website doesn't just appeal to your gluttony, either: it appeals to your e-gluttony as well, with new screens (in our gallery!), video and information about the sustenance simulator. Yes, Takeru Kobayashi, the single star of Major League Eating, is in it.

Warning: one screenshot contains simulated vomit.

Major League Eating to take a bite out of Wii Ware


Well, not so much a "bite" in the traditional sense. To be accurate to the source material, we should say that Major League Eating will dip Wii Ware in a cup of water, and cram it directly into its mouth, two-fisted.

Mastiff announced that their Major League Eating: The Game will be released as a Wii Ware launch title on May 12th. Score one for Wii Ware. The game uses a series of Wiimote motions to simulate, uh, "a variety of eating techniques including the cram, toss, and 'typewriter.'"

We were ready to write this game off completely (and we still kind of are) but then we saw that this game supports online play. It also has leaderboards, though it remains to be seen whether outstanding performance in the field of fake gorging constitutes leadership.
