Japanese video game giants Sega reckon punters will be absolutely bursting to play their latest release – a urine-powered ‘Toylet’ device which allows you to play while you pee.

Sega is hoping for number one sales from the Toylet, which measures the pressure of each user’s urine and tasks them with focusing on a target, with their efforts then translated it into on-screen representations in a number of mini games.

Some of the games involved include the fairly self-explanatory task of putting out graffiti with a hose, though one strangely involves lifting up an attractive lady’s skirt. By peeing on her?!

The device was first tested in the toilets of Japan’s bars and arcades and has proved such a hit that the toylet is now ready for home release – which should provide plenty of relief for its biggest fans.

Even if you are a whizz at the Toylet’s offering, you may baulk at the price tag, which is €1,319 (140,000 yen) for the device and a further €94 (10,000 yen) for each game.

Perhaps if the game catches on, we can accept a veritable golden shower of coins to fill Sega’s coffers this summer.
