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 gotten 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.

Oh I'm well aware I can buy it used. I usually don't buy games if the devs don't see any profit from it. I suppose I can buy Heroes' Paradise if they find a publisher for it.
Well unfortunately at some point you just can't find games new. NMH is approaching that point, any new product you do find will just be left over stock. And I too hope Paradise finds a publisher here. Otherwise I may import it for PS3.
But you can probably find NMH at the aformentioned big name stores. And I'm sure Amazon probably has it somewhere. They have everything.
@ CapnCrunk- I still see it new at independently run specialty shops, and the NMH/Red Steel bundle can be found new at Gamestop every once and a while.
But yeah, you're right, I totally forgot how rare a new copy of the game is. Maybe it will get a re-release after the sequel has been out for a bit.

Man, why's it gotta come to that? Why does every good Wii game have to devolve into "man, Wii's getting some good games huh guys?" Why can't we just be happy we're getting an awesome, fucked up game and stop defending the console?
because of the notion that when a good wii game drops people think that there's nothing else on the console, thus the existance of "I ain't payin' 200$ for ONE game!"-comments .

Took them long enough. I will download this first thing Monday.
Any place that sells used games. Even major retailers might still have some new ones floating around. Or the internet.

I'm getting my Wii back from my Dad ASAP! I fucking need to play this on day one!
