News \ Japanese Arm Wrestling Game Breaks Arms
Game developer Atlus has decided to recall all of its 150 arm wrestling simulators from arcades across Japan. Despite only being out a month, Arm Spirit has broken three arms.
In the game, players lock hands with a fake arm and battle on screen characters such as a french maid, a drunken martial arts master, a chihuahua, and a professional wrestler. Atlus claims that "the machine isn't that strong" and "even women should be able to beat it." Hmmmm. Either this is one bad ass arcade machine or the Japanese need more calcium in their diet.

lol Although I suppose if someone were to use that game, break their arm and have a piece of bone sticking out.... Well, I think that might cause other people to make a bit of a mess too.
lol A great piece of torture equipment.

Digital violence is fine. I like it (as long as it's not done to animals), but real violence, in the real world is another thing (unless it's being done to murderers, rapists or people who are cruel to animals. Then it's fine, and fun
).
But you're right Longarms, it is possible to have a good game without, or with minimal violence.

O_O WTF! Geez, that's, um, not good. Kind of funny though.
But not for the people who have now got a broken arm. And who ever said games were harmless? lol I think I'll avoid that thing. But it would be fun to watch.
*talking to bother*
Hey Nathan, want to have a go at this cool arcade game? It's harmless.... Honest. *smiles sweetly*
