Muscle March sequel may use Project Natal
Muscle March took the world by storm with its release in mid-2009. The WiiWare title was held back from unbridled global domination only by its one-console exclusivity. However, insider sources tell us that Muscle March's sequel, Muscle March: 2nd Rep, may not be tied to just one console. The sequel to the hit game will find its way to the XBox 360 as well, utilizing Project Natal rather than the Wiimote.
Here at Muscle March Insider, we are obviously pumped about this news. The Wii is known for its casual gaming appeal, and we think this jump to the 360 will really take the game up a notch. Being open to casual gamers is great, but a game really needs content for the hardcore audience; it needs a way for real gamers to take it to the next level. The Wii didn't have that, and we don't think the Wiimote is even capable of it in this case. The Wii's basic motions are okay, but imagine Muscle March with Natal's real motion-sensing technology. No longer are you just pointing the Wii wands in the right direction with basic waggle controls, you are actually flexing to win the game. Only he (or she) with the best pose wins. Heck, it could even take visual muscle mass into account! No muscles? No glory. The strongest gamer wins. The way it should be!
The footage supplied to us by our sources is behind the cut below. It is supposedly a tech demo of Muscle March: 2nd Rep from the Namco Bandai HQ. Be warned, it is muscle-icious. It could be considered not safe for work ... if your boss has something against bulging pecs.

I think if I had to pick a favorite type of rodent, it would be the Marmot. They seem relatively friendly, unlike those damned flying squirrels...

Marmots are friendly huh? Tell that to The Dude (a.k.a. Lebowski).

That's inappropriate usage, my friend. You mean you did a Topeka search.
icepyro Apr 1st 2010 5:42PM
Actually on the official Topeka blog they have a picture of correct usage, and this appears to be grammatically correct.

(Looks around shyly.)
I hate to admit it, but I still play World of Warcraft. Yeah I know but some of my friends still play.
My question is, if I combine Muscle Madness and the new BattleNet Neural Interface, will that make my friends say, "OH GOD SHE IS THE RET!!" ?
Because that would be win.
Dreyja Apr 1st 2010 3:54PM
I'm holding out hope that the new Battle.net matchmaking service is going to help me find my soul mate. ;)
