Video game publisher Mastiff announced today that their upcoming title, Major League Eating: The Game, will makes its debut as an exclusive on WiiWare(tm), Nintendo’s new downloadable game service for the Wii(tm) console, which launches May 12 in North America. The game will make extensive use of the Wii Remote(tm) to simulate the fast and furious action of a professional eating competition.

“Watching Major League Eating is like watching poetry in motion” says Bill Swartz, Head Woof at 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.”

The game features the world’s greatest gurgitory athletes competing across a variety of foods and venues. 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.

Major League Eating: The Game uses the Wii Remote to simulate a variety of eating techniques including the cram, toss, and ‘typewriter.’ Burp-offs and Hot Potato challenges during the contests keep the competition intense and eaters on their toes.

Major League Eating: The Game is for one or two players, offers online play and a leader board.

Major League Eating, the professional league which oversees all top eating events in the nation, including the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest, counts among its members Takeru Kobayashi, the Japanese eating phenomenon, and American Joey Chestnut, current champion of the world.

Anyone want to make bets on this being the single worst game of 2008?

Heck, I'll take Ninja Breadman or London Taxi: Rush Hour over this hunk of crap.

Seriously, did they honestly sit down and ask themselves, "What is the worst possible concept for a game that we can come up with?" Terrible. Just terrible.

Did who ask themselves? If you meant Nintendo, well they didn't make this game. And if your asking the developer of the game, oh well. Its shovelware being released on WiiWare and not the Wii itself.
