Only in Japan: Game maker Atlus said on Tuesday that it would remove 150 Arm Spirit arm-wrestling machines from Japanese arcades after three players broke their arms while wrestling with the machine’s mechanized appendage. There are so many precious goodies in this story, not excluding the following nugget:

Arm Spirit, which is only distributed in Japan, lets gamers advance 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.

I mean, who wouldn’t want to get their arm yanked off by a chihuahua? Sounds like good clean family fun to me.
