Viewtiful Joe on Xbox?

[joule]

Does anyone know if they are planning to release Viewtiful Joe on Xbox? I've heard rumors and speculation about it, but I haven't heard a definite answer. Does anyone know?
I also heard that the sequel will be released for both the GCN and PS2, but what about the Xbox?

I've read some rumours about it aswell.. I think they will, it'd just mean more cash for them after all.

What's wrong with the name?

Viewtiful Joe is basically a new, old school, 2d scrolling fighter. It's cell shaded (great comic book feel) and introduces some new gameplay features to keep game feeling old and tired. (the combos you can pull off are insane - a few whacks to the face and uppercut them into the air. Jump up and air juggle then for a while, then slow down time. Now the attacks are just mean - punches crunch! Zoom in and the damage is multiplied.)

It's also rock hard - requiring super reactions and video gaming skills that most ppl have forgotten about (remember when video games used to be about challenge and skill? Spending months practising untill you've mastered the game. Getting the highest score, or clearing a stage without getting hit, was everything. Viewtiful Joe takes me straight back \o/)

Only Capcom could make a game like this - and it's absolutely fantastic (anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know their ass from their elbow!)

sounds cool, dont think its out in australia though

 

[Warbie]

I'd be suprised if it wasn't - it's been in the UK (GC) since Christmas.

Viewtiful Joe didn't sell very well (despite the good reviews and praise), so many places might not stock it.

If only they'd made it about a secret agent who kills enemies using 'stealth' or had pretty 3d gfx - then it would have sold well :/ *bitter*

its not out on ps2 is it?

looks like a sequel is though

 

[Direwolf]

Sequel is in development and is planned for the Cube and PS2, and I believe the new update version of the first is going to be on the PS2 and XBox. C'mon XBox fans...lets buy something original for once!

 

[CrazyHarij]

The game sounds awesome, I love old-school stuff..

 

[Vigilante]

I own it for the gamecube, it's an excellent game except i'm not crazy for the saving system..only once per stage. It's annoying because you might play for 45 mins and then get a little sick of playing...but you have to keep playing to get to a save point. Thats the only bad thing

 

[Direwolf]

I didn't even mind that just because the game is so insane that its not that bad to play through the same stage about a billion times. They really seemed to design it with that in mind. Henshin-a-gogo baby!

Me neither infact the whole point of VJ is to learn how to perfect each section ........... which requires laying each level 100's of times

I've unlocked Sophie - but getting spanked on the extra hard mode (there's even harder settings than this apparently - where you don't get a warning if the enemy attacks will be high or low. You have to tell from the animation they do just before the attack. That has to be insanely hard)
