Topic: NFRIT Solid 16: Viewtiful Joe (1) v Beyond Good and Evil (4)

[Shaymin]

Two 2003 Gamecube games collide in the first second round matchup of the NFRIT. One had an easy victory over a DS RPG classic, the other had a harder than expected matchup over Professor Layton. Which will emerge victorious here and move to the Eager 8?

Viewtiful Joe: This flashy member of the legendary Capcom Five, Viewtiful Joe's amazingly detailed art style and character action made it stand out even from the platformer-loving Gamecube crowd on its 2003 release. Hideki Kamiya's first game as director, the lessons learned here are still seen with modern classics such as Wonderful 101.

Beyond Good and Evil: Overshadowed in its own year of release by Wind Waker and later by its own publisher's Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Beyond Good and Evil is often considered Michel Ansel's seminal work. The story may be familiar, as a battle of hope and rebellion against tyranny, but the game's beauty makes it a must play on any platform.

This is a hard choice.

One time I had to choose which one my 2 kids would live and which one would die. I'm basing that decision for how I will vote here.

So, one of your kids was named Joe?

No, he was called Viewtiful which I guess answers a lot of questions.
