Arm Spirit pulled out from arcades

August 21st, 2007

This arm-wrestling arcade machine is being pulled out from the streets as three players broke their arms playing with it. MSNBC got a comment from Ayano Sakiyama, the spokesperson for Atlus, the developer of the Arm Spirit: “We think that maybe some players get overexcited and twist their arms in an unnatural way” (link).

Yeah, blame it on the customers :)

The machine hasn’t been deployed oversees, and I suspect, won’t be, for a while.
