There’s something missing from today’s video games, and that something is most certainly a conga-line of oiled-down, bikini-strapped Adonises crashing through walls like rippled, performance-enhanced Kool-Aid Men. Oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Thankfully all is right with the universe once again with the release of Muscle March, a wonderfully absurd game from—where else?—Japan that recently made its American debut on the Nintendo Wii. The plot is deliciously simple: A thief has stolen a canister of your precious protein powder and you and your fellow bodybuilders must give chase. Sometimes the burglar is a pink monkey. Sometimes he’s a football player. Other times he’s an alien wearing a pair of Bootsy Collins disco goggles. Whatever the case, the bandit makes his getaway by running through walls, leaving behind him a person-shaped hole through which you have to squeeze…by posing down. Oh, and did we mention that one of your gym buddies is a polar bear in a Speedo? So, there’s that.
Now, we know what you’re thinking—but it’s far too early to vote for game of the year. Instead, show your love by peeping this gameplay footage then downloading Muscle March today for 500 Wii Points. Your pecs will thank you.
