Did you know that the initial trailer for Muscle March was one of the most viewed video posts on Destructoid in 2009? It got nearly half a million hits last year. Not bad for a game we all thought would never leave⭕ Japan.
In just a few days, we’ll be able to see if those hits will translate into sales, as Muscle March flexes its oily glutes all over WiiWare this 🤪Monday. The game will cost just 500 Wii Points, surprisingly cheap for a WiiWare game that looks good, sounds good, and has gotte𝔉n a fair amount of media exposure.
With this, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, and No More Heroes 2 all coming out this month, I bet it’s hard for non-Wii-owning fans of Japanese weirdness (or weirdness in general) to contain their jealousy. You know, a Wii only cost $150 used. Add $5 to that for Muscle March, $6 for Bit.Trip Beat, and $20 for No More Heroes, and you’ve got a package of unmatched psychedelia that comes to just $1 more than three new 360/PS3 games.
Getting all three of those games at the same time would make for one heck of an interesting afternoon. I envy those of you that may yet have that experience. I’m sure that zombie Timothy Leary does too. Then again, he probably envies everyone who’s not rotting away in a coffin somewhere.
