There was a rumor a while back that Namco Bandai's quirky title, Muscle March, would be seeing an international release. Well, it's officially been confirmed that the North American WiiWare service will be graced by buff men (and a polar bear) in speedos this winter. Here's a preview of what's coming.

Muscle March, Namco Bandai’s bizarre WiiWare game with bodybuilders and polar bears chasing a protein powder thief, is coming to North America. The game made its debut in Japan this past May. A localized version will be available this winter.

You control your character by making one of four muscle flexing poses with the nunchuck and remote. Don’t worry about running, your muscle man does that automatically. All you have to do is match the thief’s holes with the right pose.

The game has three stages and an endurance run for four players. In Japan, Namco Bandai sold it for 800 Wii Points ($8) so we’re expecting it to cost about the same here.
