    San Jose - San Jose State's competitive eating champion is being immortalized in a video game.

    That game launched today, and is available for download to the Nintendo Wii.

    Chestnut is currently the world's top-ranked competitive eater.

    Last year, he won the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, wolfing down 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes.
