Sensory Sweep Announces the Anti Wii Fit, The Today Show Counters With Kathy Lee

July 7, 2008

Picture_11_4Wii Fit has finally found the yin to its calorie burning yang. Later this year Mastiff will publish Sensory Sweep's Major League Eating: The Game. That's right, the Wii is finally getting its very own simulator for overeaters. Sad about your inability to gorge yourself sick like the inimitable Kobayashi, who faked an arthritic jaw injury this week at the Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest in order to throw American piggy-pounder Joey Chestnut off his, um, game? Well, cheer up and chow down. Thanks to Major League Eating, you can use the Wiimote to shovel food into your gaping maw till your virtual heart bursts.

Shock value bought Major League Eating a spot on the always-hep Today Show recently with Kathy Lee Griffith and some other woman with excessively white teeth. After a tutorial from one of the game's pro eating endorsers, Crazy Legs Conti (who had to clue them each into the existence of the 'a' button), the two women least likely to ever have played a videogame gnash away at their wiimotes until one of them vomits (alas only their avatar does) somewhere around 2:55.

Although Major League Eating looks absolutely abysmal, even for a Wii Ware game, this is one title we'd love to see added to DirectTV's Championship Gaming Series roster.
