FTFA: Even women should be able to beat it

How do three people break their arms on a "weak" machine.

I smell schadenfreude.

Players of "Arm Spirit" advance through 10 levels, battling a French maid, drunken martial arts master and a Chihuahua before reaching the final showdown with a professional wrestler. The arcade machine is not distributed overseas.


The Japanese get all the best games.

Adapted that for you. We get nothing but "suspensful music, long delays, dumbass people" shows. They get human tetris. Search youtube for that, it's the greatest game ever.

Too tired to make it funny, but google for "Boon-ga Boon-ga" if you want to see a truly twisted Japanese arcade game.

This isn't the same one they had in arcades years ago, is it?

"The machine isn't that strong, much less so than a muscular man. Even women should be able to beat it," said Atlus spokeswoman Ayano Sakiyama, calling the recall "a precaution."

Wow, she just called everyone that broke an arm on this thing a pussy.

Why do you expect? Look at how puny japs are.

And please, spare me the "jap" term lecture. If it was good enough to use by my relatives who fought for our countries freedom in certain wars, it's still good enough to use.

Postman214: LOL.

They'll probably just change the graphics, paint the fingernails, and turn them into handjob machines.

This is Japan we're talkinga bout here... I'm surprised they don't have a jacking off machine or a cum dumpster filling machine.

will it break your arm using MAME?

Worst game ever. You smack (or in another version FINGER) a prosthetic backside to see the reaction on the victims face. Named Boonga Boonga

I do remember an arm-wrestling game from when I went to King's Dominion a log time ago. Two opponents, with different strengths. Possibly the same one as mentioned by IXI Jim IXI.

/Would like to try it.

That video is chock full of WIN. Thank god we didnt kill them off back in WWII, would have been a horrible loss for modern human culture. Our entertainment industry mutch like our cellphones pale in comparison to our Nipponese Brothers. Thier kungfu is truely greatest.

I vividly recall playing an arm wrestling arcade game in the very early 90's in the US.

I was always under the impression that Radius and Ulna breaks were far more common in arm wrestling? Or is that not the case? Says alot about your elbow tendon strength that your humerus fractured before the elbow gave out.

Bravo on seconds place, sucks to have that break though. :(

Had surgery yet?

So, in addition to small wangs, they have weak bones as well?

I guess they have weak..."bones"....in general...

That made me shudder lol.

Most people would think the snap my arm folded behind me!! is the worst part, but I've seen just how nasty failed unions can be.

Yikes
