Confirmed: Bandai Namco has lost its damn mind. And we couldn't be happier! The company has officially announced a winter release for Muscle March, the WiiWare port of a limited-release arcade game about striking the right pose to lead a line of bodybuilders through holes in walls left by a bulked-up thief.
Sure, it's reportedly awful, but it has multiplayer, and it's sure to be a conversation starter, with possible topics ranging from "what is this" to "why are we playing this." And while we're not assuming the quality is similar, does anyone else get a Katamari vibe from the music and art? It's quite likely that some of the same people are involved.

Chris Kohler and awful go hand in hand.
In any case I'm finally glad it's coming out. Interesting that it's rated E. Little billy better not ask why they're running around town in that kind of clothing.

Wow. I never thought this would happen.
Also I'm going to buy it just on the principle. I want more weird-as-shit games to come out here, good or not. There are already plenty of games that are both bad AND mundane.

Same here I want all the weird Japanese stuff too. They should have put out Captain Rainbox for the U.S too but didn't. And the Tingle game....basically anything they think is too gay for North American guys I want to play anyway :P I think they have a really dated impression of what guys are going to freak out over.
