Arm Wrestling arcade machine recalled after breaking arms

Arm Spirit arcade game arm wrestlingJapanese game maker Atlus said earlier this week that after three players broke their arms while wrestling with a Japanese arcade machine, they would remove all 150 of the mechanized appendages.

To quote an Atlus spokeswoman: “The machine isn’t that strong, much less so than a muscular man. Even women should be able to beat it.” Ouch! Burn! Talk about adding insult to injury.

Arm Spirit is only distributed in Japan and lets gamers go through 10 levels battling. Among other opponents, a French maid, a drunken martial arts master, and a Chihuahua, before reaching the final showdown with a professional wrestler. Reports Computerworld. — Via Slashdot
