Wii Not Fit

The other new thing that I wanted to talk about from the Wii is WiiWare. It's just downloading games on the Wii like they do for XBox 360. The overall majority of the initial games look pretty ho-hum, and I think I'd rather just have more original Nintendo games available (Castlevania I, II, and IV are available on the Virtual Console, but no Castlevania III. WTF!)

Anyway, I was reading up on the releases and a few notable titles stand out. I'm excited to try the souped-up Dr. Mario game (hopefully they have one and two player classic versions as part of this and you can opt to use classic controls), and I'll probably give in and download Star Soldier R too. Star Soldier was just one of those fly around in space and shoot EVERYTHING games, but it was fun and it looks like the only changes they've made to this new verison is updated graphics with big explosions.

Then I came across "Major League Eating: The Game." Really? From the review I saw: "Major League Eating" simulates the art of stuffing hundreds of hot dogs into your gullet. Flick various consumables into your mouth with the Wiimote and mash on a button to chew, but watch out for choking, vomiting and teeth grinding. Oh, and you can also exude various bodily gases to distract your opponent.

I think I'll save my money for Star Soldier R.

I was actually talking with someone about those eating contests a few days ago before I saw this. I asked what food you think you could out-eat anyone at. This version wasn't based on how much you could quickly eat in 5-10 minutes, but more along the lines of what you could eat over a longer timeframe, like a few hours (Over the course of a SuperBowl, or something- a good day for gorging in front of the TV). This might not be your favorite food, mind you, just the food that you think you could eat the most of if you had mentally and physically prepared for the event.

I think I could take any one of you down with Pizza Rolls (pepperoni/suasage combination) on the menu. If those came out of the oven at about 20 at a time, perfectly cooked and cooled (not cold, but also not "scald your face with lava meat goo" hot either), I would win. Under those conditions, I know I could take down at least two of those 90-count bags during the game. What would your food choice be? Please post comments- I'm interested.
