Ex-Clover dev team buries 'Seeds' to form 'Platinum Games'

The last *part...

As great as a new Viewtiful game would be, it sounds really ill-suited for the target audience of the wii. Those games were hard. Really hard. They took a page from Devil May Cry's dastardly book on game difficulty.

I would feel bad for anyone that picked it up seeing the cartoon like graphics and expected it to play nice.

Personally, I don't think you could pull of motions for VFX powers with the timing necessary for these games, which isn't to say there's an issue with the controller, just that the previous games have required mantis-like reflexes on the higher difficulty levels.

If there were more than this completely non-existent VJ3 game that I was interested in, it would get me to buy a wii when the price came down to the point where I buy my secondary consoles.

Im a Wii owner... and Im 100% sure that I can play a lot better Viewtiful Joe than you.

Besides, It was a lot better on the Gamecube than in the PS2

Just two problems Fernando.

One, it doesn't matter how good you are, there's no way to compare our level ranks and times. You can say you're better all you like, but you'll never be able to back it up.

Since nintendo is focusing on the casual gamer with the Wii and given how much time you spend here it's safe to say you're not a casual gamer, you aren't a good example for the majority of wii owners. Viewtiful Joe is by far not a casual game. If Metroid Prime 3 got some complaints about it's non-casual nature, the even less casual Viewtiful Joe really isn't a game for the target Wii consumer.

Two, you just can't avoid being a fanboy can you? That's a rhetorical question, since everyone knows you can't. You have no idea how to make a post without either praising nintendo or trying to take a shot at sony. For the record, I played it on gamecube since it was out first and I didn't want to wait even if I knew the port was coming. Ever thought about just talking about the game, even if it's a game that you just made up?

Nice work on taking a whole 39 minutes before shitting things up again though. New record. Next time try for the rainbow V rated "forever".

i never finished it on the gamecube... too hard...



i think i traded it in for driv3r on the xbox...

i was thinking the same... time to crank out same bargain games...

I'm sorry I can't contain this any longer. Your icon bugs the hell out of me.

She's too saggy! Perkin her up a bit!

Haha- nah, she only looks that way because of the crop. I have a...fell version where she's quite rounded out at the bottom. They are, however, the size of grapefruits.

try www.google.com

Yeah douchebagel, I did, and this is what I found:

Anyway, if Capcom had put half the effort to promote Okami in the US as they did (the mediocre at best) Lost Planet things would be very fucking different.

Okami wasn't the epic failure that God Hand (TRAGICALLY) was, but it still only sold around 200,000 copies in America and about 66,000 in Japan. I don't know about Europe.
God Hand only sold around 17,000 copies.
Viewtiful Joe sold around 500,000 on the Cube and around half that on the PS2.
I believe, VJ 2 on the Cube outsold the PS2 version, but both were only around 250,000.

ok, smegmaman,

try googling "okami us sales" (easy enough?) click search, and then under the section titled "results", click on the first blue text that is listed. that is the one that google thinks is the most relevant. a new website will open and there will be the information you want.

or copy/paste this:

or see this summation:
at the end of last fiscal year (sept 06) 87,000 US units sold; 150,000 JP units sold; #'s will have risen some since then.
