Eater X & El Toro in video game screen capture

1up.com has a screen capture from the upcoming MLE video game showing Tim “Eater X” Janus and El Toro competing against each other. The score shows El Toro leading Eater X 10 hot dogs to 8. The game will debut as an exclusive to WiiWare, Nintendo’s upcoming downloadable game service for the Wii. WiiWare is expected to debut on May 12, but the MLE game does not have a price or projected release date. The game will use the Wii remote to simulate the action of eating competitively.

    It makes sense why the eaters aren’t getting much now. The downloadable games are rather cheap and only purchased by a limited number of Wii owners. I think we were all wrong when we thought this would be a major release. From what I see in the graphics they didn’t put much in this game. The Wii is capable of much more and this will not be used by many. Its progress, but I just hope its all for nothing.

    If I were a top IFOCE eater I would be insulted to be part of this cheap piece of dung.

    They have technology today that would virtually duplicate the eaters in every way. El Toro looks like an idiot having a typical bad hair day and Janus looks like a kid who lost his doggie.

    Has anything affiliated with the IFOCE or competitive eating ever become a major release? MLE dvd, INHD, Alka seltzer US open, SPIKE shows just to name a few. All projects that went down the toilet or discarded like a piece of crap after all was said and done. The new Sheabaer productions hasnt set the world on fire either. Very upsetting to see grown men put their time and effort into a project and after a few viewings its forgotten like a deceased family member you havent seen in years

    Has anyone seen Eater X lately?. He almost resembles a stray dog or cat that hasnt been fed in months. He must have survived on just plain water for the last year or so. One has to believe that he only eats solid food when the IFOCE runs an event

    They did those girls a huge favor by not mentioning their names.

    Hello complainers – good graphics, bad graphics, baloney! all I read is a bunch of knuckleheads jealous they may not be, or aren’t, in the game. I probably won’t be either, but I still think it’s awesome to be a character in a video game, and hope I get in it, no matter what I look like!
    Luckily for me, it can’t be any worse than my real life appearance – they may even leave out some wrinkles! Congrats to anybody who gets in, and I hope to virtually see you soon!

    Obviously, there’s a glitch in the game that made that score possible. They will have to work that out before they sell it.

    How much does an eater have to pay MLE to not be part of this embarrassment? Or is this a punishment theres no escaping from?
