Behold and believe: Namco's Muscle March in motion

Oh good -- we hadn't "pulled a Samuel Taylor Coleridge" when we wrote this morning's post about Namco's new WiiWare game, Muscle March. It wasn't a dream and it's even weirder in action than we could have imagined. Namco: please make a US release of this game happen, 'kay? Thanks.

WTF Did anyone else see the sheep? Or am I just crazy?

Your head exploded twice? Someone has a lot of head...

I just noticed the bear is a girl.
graufuchs88 @ May 18th 2009 12:23AM
my god thats horrific spelling. my head generally explodes.
ArchiGamer @ May 15th 2009 9:37PM
Japan, what the fuck is wrong with you...
ArchiGamer @ May 15th 2009 9:38PM
I would usually condemn anyone for using the word "gay" out of context, but this...this is gay.
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ May 15th 2009 9:52PM
It so GAY is Fabulous!
Cosmo @ May 15th 2009 10:04PM
Its gayboulous!
DeepFriedSushi @ May 15th 2009 11:24PM
um... you have madworld as your avatar, if anyone is desensitized at what japan has to offer it should be you.
plus who says this represents an entire country, Americans are just as capable of creating mindfuck type things aswell.
ArchiGamer @ May 15th 2009 11:41PM
@ Deep
From insanity comes sometimes wonderful things. That is what I feel about Japan; for every weird game that comes out, a unique game follows behind, quickly after another weird game that makes us think Japan is on drugs. And whatever the drug, we, sometimes want it.
Hope that helps...

No................Homo?
Ryan Hamilton @ May 15th 2009 9:38PM
More proof that the Japanese are all homosexuals!
On a serious note, this game is trying to have that weirdo Katamari Damacy feel, but here it feels like the makers are trying too hard, no pun intended.
ArchiGamer @ May 15th 2009 9:40PM
Don't you mean their thrusting to hard....ok, even I found that wrong...
Curt @ May 16th 2009 9:19PM
well it is the same developers
Kenny Powers Fastball (PSN johnnynumber5) @ May 15th 2009 9:40PM
I know you Wii gamers like to tout how you like different experiences and all but that was just ... that was ... disturbing.
For the sake of all that is holy I hope no one actually buys this not yet out of the closet game.
yeesh. Captain Rainbow would probably be disturbed.
Markez @ May 15th 2009 9:43PM
Johnny if you didn't notice, this is speed racing out of the closet. Busting through walls out of the closet. Taking a warp tunnel out of the closet. Koolaid man wants to quench your thirst so bad he's knocking the whole place down out of the closet. Captain Rainbow actually looked kinda interesting cool...
Hey, uh, don't know why I'm saying this, but do you want to work out later and lather up each other's muscles and ma--*HEAD ASPOLLLODES*

What, you never seen to straight guys talk about putting oil on each oth-HEAD ASSPLODES
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ May 15th 2009 10:04PM
It seems they both have those Battle Royal collars but they configurate them in a way so in the case they turn out gay the collars blow their heads off...Homophobia much?
MED @ May 15th 2009 10:57PM
This game makes me a sad Panda
Gun Barrier @ May 15th 2009 11:56PM
I can't breath! XD
FNG @ May 15th 2009 9:41PM
alright Fernando. Let's see you try and defend this...
Kenny Powers Fastball (PSN johnnynumber5) @ May 15th 2009 9:42PM
LOL

Donald @ May 15th 2009 9:45PM
Cho Aniki did surprisingly well on the Virtual Console.
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ May 15th 2009 9:55PM
Well Nintendo wasn't lying when they said their games appeal different demographics...
Roto13 @ May 15th 2009 11:17PM
Defend? You mean celebrate, right?
idiot @ May 16th 2009 1:14AM
what the L are you talking about???
HOW CAN ANYONE **NOT** WANT THIS GAME???????
ExMcCloud @ May 15th 2009 9:43PM
Theres no possible way that a game like that would come out in this Testosterone filled Country....lmao
Rhamsey @ May 15th 2009 9:44PM
...
i have nothing witty or smart to say to what i just saw
tiamat5 @ May 15th 2009 9:46PM
No the Japanese are not homosexuals. The guys who made this are gay. Like ArchiGamer said i prefer not to use this word out of context and in such a crude way but......seriously this game is so gay. I feel uncomfortable just watching it. I dare anyone to deny it.
Markez @ May 15th 2009 9:50PM
"No the Japanese are not homosexuals. The guys who made this are gay." I don't know how you take something so silly, so easy to make light of, and come off as the 1st person to sound like kind of an ass about it, but I think you just did. I don't feel uncomfortable watching it, it's a cartoony / goofy video game, fella.
ArchiGamer @ May 15th 2009 9:56PM

Your first part contradicts the reasoning you give afterwards, if it is reasoning or logical at all. And you are still using the word of context.
azr_ @ May 15th 2009 10:06PM
I'm denying it. I smiled watching that.
chamelean75 @ May 15th 2009 9:47PM
OH!! This game is like the japanese game show where there is a hole cut out cardboard in the shape of a person in a pose and the card board is coming at you at high speeds and you have to imitate the pose of shown in the hole otherwise you'll be bashed by the card board. It's a pretty unique idea for the Wii except I could do with out the muscular people.
Rhamsey @ May 15th 2009 9:48PM
isnt there an american one now?
Markez @ May 15th 2009 9:52PM
Yeah! I saw a few episodes of it and it was pretty funny. Not too surprised it's not on anymore. Remember seeing the one round where they cover the person's eyes, and have their teammates coach them on how to get into the right position, and ended up seeing the person get totally smoked in the face by the wall.
Rentaro @ May 15th 2009 10:22PM
Actually saw that on TV when I was in Japan a year back. I remember one of the contestant being this really tall dude who broke the foam board in half
Preston @ May 15th 2009 9:51PM
This is unbelievably awesome. Namco MUST bring this over to the US if only for the comedy value.
jaredgood1 @ May 15th 2009 9:52PM
I would buy that for the same reason I imported Pepsi Man for PSX and the move The Calamari Wrestler: sometimes weird shit is awesome just because it's weird.
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ May 15th 2009 9:58PM
Jokes aside I think people that actually buy this will be very disapointed,if you look over they gay jokes this looks like it gets old quick.
jaredgood1 @ May 16th 2009 1:50AM
Admittedly, I'm one of those weirdos who genuinely enjoys pattern repetition games. Even without the wacky "I'm a muscle bound polar bear and you stole my protean powder" trappings, it still looks like it'll easily be worth $10-15.
scissors125 @ May 15th 2009 9:55PM
I wish this game had a chance of making it over here to America.
Looks like a lot of fun ._.
Am I the only one who thinks this?
MystileArmor @ May 15th 2009 10:05PM
You and Arnold.
GET INTO DA CHOPPAA! DO IT NOW! YAUWWW
Susumu @ May 16th 2009 1:31PM
I think it looks like fun. Crazy weird, but fun.
NICE MUSCLE!!
Jacko @ May 16th 2009 3:51PM
i think this game looks frickin awesome. i am disappointed that it will most likely not be coming to the states. i have to admit, it does look pretty gay. but why should that disturb me? does it disturb all of these guys in here because they find themselves getting chubbies watching it?
tiamat5 @ May 15th 2009 9:57PM
Thanks for your concern Markez, but I didn't ask you. No need to take this personally. I am just stating my opinion. You should take your own advice and try not to sound like an ass when you write. Please do not presume to lecture me.
