Muscle March Launch Trailer Will Pump You Up


The weirdest game launch of the week was unsurprisingly accompanied by an equally weird and silly trailer.

Muscle March, straight out of Japan, was released on WiiWare this week, a game that makes absolutely no sense to anyone other than its developers. This is what makes it so great. Muscle March's launch trailer, taking the form of a faux infomercial, doesn't show too much of the game itself, but it does exemplify the weirdness that it's based on.

In Muscle March, Players must flex into the proper shapes while chasing thieves of dietary supplements. If the trailer is to be believed, Muscle March supplements can alter both your daughter's nationality and gender. They're like "a punch from Zeus, and not everyone can handle that." I would take any substance that could bring me to a rainbow road in the sky, which for some odd reason also has brick walls built upon it to smash through.

If there was one thing I could change about this trailer, I would make it feature more speedo-wearing polar bears [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/97014-Polar-Bears-Flex-in-New-Muscle-March-Footage]. For the record, The Escapist does not recommend that anyone under the age of 18 use dietary supplements, other than Muscle March of course. Thank the creator for the Japanese, I think the world would be a very boring place without them.

i can really relate to the characters in this game, something i have found difficult in other games where they force this perfect character down your throat, these men and bears all have dept and problems of their own, the gameplay may get old after a while, but its the silent hill 2 argument, your not there for the gameplay your there for the deep character, the background story and the over all art style.

Seriously though, WTF was that?

I'm a bit disapointed at this trailer. It just seems so... I don't know.
Maybe it's the fact that they're just pretending to be energetic, in stead of pretending to pretend they're energetic.
Maybe it's a fact that, unless you knew, you could hardly tell that this was a videogame trailer.

It's funny considering how the guy hits on the girl at then end, and in japan the "muscle guy" stereo type is that they are, and therefor this game, very homosexual.

Anyway if you think this is weird, here's the Japanese version,

I don't know how to embed you tube videos, so I guess it will just be a link.

I've seen trailers for Muscle March before. It looks like the biggest laugh you could possibly have with a Wii game. That's a good thing, not kidding.

Is this an American launch? Why is half of it in Japanese? Why am I flexing as I type this?
