A Punch In The Face From Zeus: Muscle March Commercial
January 19, 2010 6:00 AM | Eric Caoili
Matching the quirkiness of Muscle March, Namco Bandai produced this bizarre online commercial for the recently released macho WiiWare game. Along with transforming three children into three ripped and tanned beefcakes in banana hammocks, the company enlisted a salesman that's like a scary mix of Billy Mays and Richard Simmons (and just as insane as Olly on Precious Roy) to sell the game.
The weird advert does a great job selling Muscle March, though -- I was planning on skipping it after reading some awful impressions from other gamers who were initially beguiled by its premise of bodybuilders striking manly poses, but I might buy it anyway after hearing this salesman's pitch. After all, he's been around muscle-building since he was an infant; he knows his stuff!

The game's a fun diversion, and plenty quirky, but the motion sensing really leaves something to be desired. I crashed into walls just as often due to the controllers not registering my (correct) hand positions as I did from having the wrong hand positions. If I'd paid more than $5, I might be more disappointed.
