Two more characters have joined Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Neither Viewtiful Joe nor Dormammu are strangers to alternate universes -- Joe jumped into Movieland to rescue his girlfriend Sylvia, and Dormammu is the ruler of his own Dark Dimension. For these two, suddenly being faced with a universe full of new people throwing hadoukens or whatever at them is not a big deal.

Another similarity between the two: Dormammu is primarily a Doctor Strange character (speaking of whom, we'd love to see him make an appearance in this game!) and, well, Viewtiful Joe is a strange character. Look at the size of his head!

Hideki Kamiya, creator of the forthcoming Bayonetta, would be up for making a sequel to his stylish side-scroller Viewtiful Joe if given the opportunity, according to a report by Game Informer. Not so much for Okami, though, which he'd wanted to revisit until he learned Capcom was making Okamiden for DS. "I heard the announcement that someone else would be making a sequel," he told the magazine. "Now I'm just not interested in it anymore."

Kamiya, who left Capcom along with Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami and other key staffers to form the now-defunct Clover Studio, doesn't retain the rights to any of the IPs he created at either company -- but nevertheless feels that the story of Viewtiful Joe "is incomplete," adding "I'd like to finish it someday."

While that's probably a long shot, Kamiya has already proven he's a man full of amazing ideas, which we'll hopefully see many more of after Bayonetta -- a game he could very well make a sequel to -- is released in the US on January 5.

Viewtiful JoeThat's right, the spandex-clad chop-socky cel-shaded superhero may be headed for the Nintendo Revolution, at least if Clover Studios' president Atsushi Inaba has anything to say about it. The kind folks at 1up were kind enough to translate parts of an interview conducted by the French folks at Jeux France who were French enough to ask some interesting questions regarding the Capcom team's upcoming games and some of their past successes.

After finishing the utterly fantastic looking Okami for PS2, Mr. Inaba intends to get cracking on his next project right away, showing a keen interest in Nintendo's next-gen machine. He says that "if the character and the universe of Viewtiful Joe adapt correctly to the characteristics of Nintendo's future console, and we could indeed conceive a Viewtiful Joe on Nintendo Revolution," the project would see the light of day. "In the contrary case, we will try to make to propose another game on Nintendo Revolution which is as interesting."

As interesting as controlling Joe's Mach-speed kicks and punches with the Revolution controller? That seems unlikely, sir.

Viewtiful Joe

If you love Viewtiful Joe, it looks like you're about to get some major marketing satisfaction. Geneon Entertainment has acquired all North American merchandising, television and home entertainment rights to the IP. Their immediate plans are to introduce a lineup of toys, comics, and electronics with the character's face plastered all over them. They also want to bring the popular TV series to the NA market.

If that doesn't satiate your deep seated hunger for Viewtiful, seek counseling.

Viewtiful Joe 2Sequels, sequels, sequels! We're going mad with sequels over here!

As if it wasn't already enough, Capcom has tossed in its own offering, Viewtiful Joe 2. The original garnered a cult following for its unique old school fundamentals, and the sequel follows the same line (perhaps a little too closely). At any rate, when you get the time, check this title out.

Viewtiful JoeTV Tokyo recently announced that the cult-favorite, Viewtiful Joe, will be getting the animated treatment in Japan. The Capcom produced series has plans for a 52 episode run and will premiere just before the release of Viewtiful Joe 2 this October. No word yet on a foreign (outside Japan) release, but we're sure the Cartoon Network will pick it up in about ten years or so.

Viewtiful JoeIf you missed Viewtiful Joe the first time around (it was released a year ago for the GameCube), be sure to check out its re-release for the PlayStation 2. Some of you may be groaning already about Capcom re-hashing a game that's now a year old, but I'm willing to label this sort of effort "timeless"-and if you're still doubtful the game is being offered for the bargain price of $30. Even if you're familar with the original version you may be interested in some of the bonuses Capcom has packed in (notably, Dante from Devil May Cry). Viewtiful Joe is quite an accomplishment in that it deviates from your standard beat-em-up action title without loosing touch with the 2D, side-scrolling roots it descends from-that sounds like somewhat of a paradox, but you'll just have to play it to see what I mean. Joe is the sort of nostaglia that lasts longer than a ten minute fix. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. If you're interested you can use the link below to see what other critics our saying.

Viewtiful JoeCapcom's cult classic, Viewtiful Joe, is finally making its way to the PlayStation 2. Almost a year since its debut on the GameCube, this latest version is not just another port. Capcom has added at least one goodie, in the form of a new playable character: Dante (from another Capcom favorite, Devil May Cry). That's right, everyone's favorite demon-slayer is making his debut in Joe's gritty, art-house 2D-style. Don't expect a whole new game here, but while using Dante, players get some different dialogue and of course have access to Dante's signature weaponry: Alastor, the legendary broad sword, and his duel .45s, Ebony & Ivory. The original Viewtiful Joe was known for its extreme difficulty, but Capcom has made things a little more accessible this time around by adding the very-easy "Sweet" difficulty (as featured in the import version). PlayStation fans should definitely check this one out before the sequel drops next February, and for only $30 it's a steal!
