Major League Eating Video Trailer Tantalizes Wii Gamers

Open wide for the forthcoming Nintendo Wii game Major League Eating, which lets players compete as some of the most famous speed eaters in the world, like Takeru Kobayashi, six-time winner of Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest. If the game turns out to be half as fun as this promotional trailer, there’s going to be a lot of virtual binging going down this summer.

How about that “Belch Off,” eh? Good times. Even better is this disclaimer on the MLE website, first spotted by Serious Eats:

Real life speed eating contests approved by Major League Eating and the International Federation of Competitive Eating are held only in a controlled environment with appropriate rules and with an emergency medical technician present. The IFOCE, Major League Eating and Mastiff is against at-home training of any kind. We strongly discourage younger individuals from eating for speed or quantity under any circumstances. We urge all interested parties to become involved in sanctioned events -- do not try speed eating at home.
Choking risks aside, MLE looks like a blast. And if it's a hit, can Major League Stoner be far behind?

Looks like it would be entertaining, for about six seconds. Then back to blowing stuff up.

 

that might be the worst game ever. the only thing worse is badland booker's rapping!

 

That's disgusting. The belching clouds make me want to vomit.

 

WOW. Just. Wow.

It's not enough that our nation's children are fat lazy slobs already? Now we're going to glorify cramming food in their mouths?! That's pretty disgusting. And sad.
