Viewtiful GameCube
Sucker PS2 owners will have to wait a few more weeks, however.
Capcom, a powerhouse in the multi-billion dollar video game industry, today released the highly anticipated Viewtiful Joe sequel, Viewtiful Joe 2 for the Nintendo GameCube. In Viewtiful Joe 2, players will reacquaint themselves with the cel-shaded, comic book movie realm and stunning signature gameplay elements that are synonymous only to Joe. Capcom's quirkiest action superhero once again takes center stage in this engaging action brawler that has a playable heroine, a new VFX power and inventive character designs with gameplay that perpetuates more punch and style than its predecessor. Viewtiful Joe 2 is now available at retailers across North America and carries a "T" rating for teen audiences by the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board).
"Viewtiful Joe was the killer app for the GameCube in 2003, and now Viewtiful Joe 2 raises the bar for excellence and innovation even higher with the second generation of the series," said Todd Thorson, director of marketing at Capcom Entertainment. "With new visual effects, enemies and challenges, Joe and Silvia are ready to take on an all new Viewtiful adventure."
At the beginning of this new adventure, we find Joe and his girlfriend, Silvia, ready to face even tougher enemies and greater challenges as they confront the nefarious Black Emperor and his tyrannous organization. In this next incredible installment not only will gamers be able to play as Joe, but as Silvia right off the bat. In addition to being equipped with her pompoms, Silvia will be packing some heat as she wields a gun to help defeat the encroaching evil that lurks in the shadows. The action gets even hotter as players use "Viewtiful Touch" to switch between the beloved heroes at anytime throughout the game for some tag team action.
Keeping to the stylized yet richly detailed visuals, Viewtiful Joe 2 stays true to its masterfully crafted roots and delivers an even more brilliant and polished videogame. Utilize Joe's signature moves: Slow, Mach Speed and Zoom-In to unleash devastating attacks and follow up with Silvia's agility as she flashes her own set of abilities: Slow, Zoom-In and a new cinematic visual effect (VFX) power "Replay" which allows gamers to repeat a part of the action for heroic results. As with the other VFX, Replay's astonishing power can be utilized to solve ingenious puzzles, defeat unique, relentless enemies and add variety to gameplay. Spanning across an increased number of stages and environments including a jungle, snowy mountains and outer space, Viewtiful Joe 2 incorporates more impressive quasi 2D/3D action with over 40 new types of adversaries to obliterate. The not-so-average-Joe and his beloved will once again break the gaming mold and deliver a unique experience with his polished martial arts attacks, high-flying acrobatics, and compelling storyline.
