Viewtiful Joe--So Pretty...

[Bird Boy]

A new 3 minute clip of Viewtiful Joe, part of Capcom's Big 5, has surfaced..

http://myhome.hanafos.com/~suk0515/vj.wmv (came from IGN boards)

It may or may not connect, alot of people have had trouble..

Anyway..I have to say.. "wow!" At first I only wanted Product Number 3 out of the big 5, but after seeing this, I'm sold on this game. The speed of it, the zooming in, the slow mode..it's all so fluid. And the cel-shading is real gritty..really awesome stuff..

*goes to watch the trailer again*

I'm really looking forward to this one... I've got a bad feeling that it's not going to jump the pond, though... I think "Mr. Casual Gamer" just ain't gonna realize the potential of a genre-buster like this. :(

Didn't work for me. Might wanna sling this over to PlanetGameCube so they can post this up in an easily viewable format.

I know I can't wait to play this game. Perfect Japan Hero stuff for reviewing!

Hook me up with another link so I can check this out!

I noticed the game in the new issue of EGM, and thought it looked cool. Now that I see it in action, it's one of those games that is a "Man, I Gotta Try This!"

Plus, I'm a sucker for querky games.

Did the link work for you, Jin?

Is this (http://media.planetgamecube.com/PGCmovies/viewtifuljoe/ViewtifulJoe_320.mpeg) the same promo as the 3 minute one you got posted up there?

I want all the games but this one's definetly on the top of the list. I need it, it's so friggin cool looking. If the game gets good enough scores gamers will buy it, or if it's good on it's own gamers will run to it slowly but surely like Godzilla DAMM.

Aside from it being 2 minutes shorter..pretty much, yes. The one above just shows more in-game footage and an AWESOME Capcom logo with Joe smacking the "C" around..

I really don't know why the link doesn't work for everyone..works for me.. :confused:

My computer doesn't play WMV's, so that link didn't work for me. I did see the one that John pointed out on another site, and that was the one I was refering to. Assumed they were the same, but now I want to see the other one as well :(

This game looks good. Although most people won't like it because of its graphics.

[JohnCrichton]

Could whoever can download it, download it and send it to jeff@japanhero.com so we can post it up and everyone can see it?

I love side scrollers. And considerng I enjoyed Kirby 64 so much, there's no way I could hate this. Whenever a 2D game is made for a console, it's always bad latlely. I hope Joe gets us out of that trend.

If you're having trouble at all seeing that promo, we got it up at Japan Hero (http://www.japanhero.com), along with some incredibly questionable clips of some Korean "entertainment" such as the insepid and just.... impossibly bad, Super Batman.
