Viewtiful Joe

By Jesse Russell

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Viewtiful Joe (ビューティフル ジョー, Byūtifuru Jō?) is a video game developed by Capcom's Production Studio 4 for the Nintendo GameCube. It was originally released in 2003 as a part of the Capcom Five under director Hideki Kamiya and producer Atsushi Inaba. Viewtiful Joe was later ported to the Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2) by the same design team under the name Clover Studio. The Japanese version of the PS2 release is subtitled Aratanaru Kibō (新たなる希望?, lit. "A New Hope"). The game's story concerns Joe, an avid movie-goer whose girlfriend Silvia is kidnapped during a film starring Joe's favorite superhero, Captain Blue. Joe is shortly thereafter thrust into Movieland, where Silvia is taken by the villainous group known as Jadow. After accepting a special V-Watch from Captain Blue, Joe transforms into the tokusatsu-style persona "Viewtiful Joe" and sets out to rescue her.
