Competitive Eating Coming to Games
Yes, we're serious. Major League Eating is coming by way of publisher Mastiff.

Quick name a license that you never, ever thought you'd see in video games. BRAAAAANNNNNZZZZZZTTT, time's up. The correct answer is crocheting. Also, Major League Eating, because if there's one thing that gamers love, it watching diminutive Japanese dudes cramming as many Nathan's hot dogs as they possibly can into their face. Ah, only in America can we have competitions about people shoving crap into their faces as fast as they can and call it a sport. We hear kids in Africa have an awesome new sport too, dubbed, cleverly, "Not Starving to Death."
But hey, this is games, surely the folks behind the deal, publisher Mastiff and Major League Eating aren't going to take this whole deal to seriou--
"Major League Eaters aren't just elite athletes," claims Bill Swartz, Head Woof at Mastiff. "They are the people who built America. Or at least the competitive eating part of America. And I am deeply honored that the International Federation of Competitive Eating and Major League Eating choose Mastiff as their exclusive videogame partner."
"We knew this sport would lend itself very well to an interactive format," chimes in George Shea of Major League Eating. "Mastiff has the stomach and the sense of humor to pull this off."
Oh. Dear. Sweet. Jesus. Apparently while trying not to puke, the Major League Eating competitors can use advanced techniques like belching and, uh, mustard gas, "much like a fighting game," says Mastiff. This is going to be delicious. We'll have more as soon as we get it.
