I already told you guys about Muscle March, the WiiWare game starring bodybuilders in speedos, a polar bear in a diaper, and so on, as they run through walls in various bodybuilding poses. This game was impossibly Japanese, so I never dreamed of it coming to America... but I was wrong. Bandai Namco is bringing it out the the U.S. Wiiware library, apparently. Why? I don't know. Whether you find the premise hilarious and awesome or not, it's clearly not that deep a game, and I have my severe doubts about the Wii controllers ability to match the poses in time. Most of all, it seems like Bandai Namco is just setting itself up to become a Fox News special report on how videogames are giving American children "teh gay."

Holy shit this game looks like it actually might be fun and actually uses the Wiimote properly. Still it's so "teh gay" I'd be embarrassed to own it. If you changed it to a Mario game this would be a mega hit.

The Wii-mote it's self is responsive, it's the nunchuck that sucks.

You know what I just realized? The black dude with the 'fro with the little yellow bird in it? He's exactly like the black dude with the 'fro with the little yellow bird in it in all these Final Fantasy XIII trailers and screenshots I'm seeing. Final Fantasy XIII is plagurizing Muscle March's blacksploitation.

As I posted on Joystick Division, I want to play this. The sheer ridiculousness reminds me of No One Can Stop Mr. Domino! and Katamari Damacy.

This totally needs to go up at the gym so all the musclebound gym rats can ooh and ahh over themselves in a videogame. I would pay good money to watch some of them play it too.....LOL
