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.
