Muscle March, the WiiWare game that almost defies explanation, was a Japan-only title for awhile now. But now it seems that Germany is also going to be able to enjoy muscle-bound men chasing each other around town. The German ratings board, the USK, has Muscle Beach in their listings. It turns out that Namco Bandai will be doing the publishing.
Of course, this means next to nothing for us. We're glad the title has moved west a bit, but it's not quite far enough west for us. We know it's going to be crap, but we still want it.
Will Nintendo USA be cool with the game's homoerotic bodybuilder action?

This game is hilarious, I would download it day one for sure XD! I never would've thought this would make it out of Japan, so I'm completely floored at the moment.
This kinda gave me a katamari damacy vibe. Like how it has the rainbow at the start and the music sounded similar. Plus it is also insane like that game.
I mean, what is there to really object to other than the fact that there are rainbows and muscular guys in speedos? The way I see it, Muscle March is one part Rainbow Brite, one part He-Man. It's basically two very kid-friendly 80's cartoons wrapped up into one awesomely weird pacakge.
Nintendo has allowed for much more "mature" content than this on the Wii. For them to shut this game down would 100% pure homophobia.
Infinitys End, I opened this article just to see if someone would leave that Chad image in the comments. Once again, my Dtoid brethren do not disappoint.

Not OK.
They will make the most awesome over-the-top crazy show or game, and you gotta admit we love them for it. Their sense of humor rock.
Plus they make some good animated shows, better than most other countries.
But it's really, really fucking HARD. Like, split-second reactions hard.
