I would like to say that Viewtiful Joe is an excelent game and all should go out and buy it in order to support the game. The gameplay is fun and addictive and they did a great job with the graphics. GREAT JOB CAPCOM

p.s. anyone know how to get past the big barrel that comes right after you get mach speed VFX?

Yes, yes, yes!
I can't wait till I get my grubby mits on this game (launches next week here). It's so good to see a company go back to the old school gameplay, but with funky new improvements!

I second the motion. GET THIS GAME! It is hard though. I haven't gotten past the first level yet. You can save if lose all your lives but you start again at the beginning of the level—not fun. But this is an excellent game. As for your barrel dilemma, I don't know what you're talking about. Try kicking it. That always works. That and duct tape.

Launch it in the air (down+punch) and then Mach speed under it

I went to my local EB after work today to pick up my copy, there were only 6 left and someone ahead of me just baught one. The clerk was surprised at how many people came in and got the game the first day. I asked him about how many did they recieve but he just said a "ton"

Any who just like the demo I am loving this game to death, the voice acting is very well done and this game is just down right fun!!! Pluss its challenging, though I did start if off on Adult. This game is a must have for anyone and everyone. Buy it.

McBaBE22 · « **Reply #6 on:** October 08, 2003, 08:25:46 PM »

It was sold out at my local walmart today.. =\ I'm goin to have to check by EB tommorow!

akdaman1 · « **Reply #7 on:** October 08, 2003, 10:27:26 PM »

yeah for the barrel thing just use slo mo and uppercut then that will launch the barrel in the air, while the barrel is in the air quickly use MACH speed and dada.

you have VJ akdaman1? its not out for a week here, or is that part in the demo?

akdaman1 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 09, 2003, 01:16:48 PM »

nah i dont have the game but yall know i am a massive fan and i have pretty much read every single review on the game online. i love it. buying it next week right after school.

kennyb27 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 09, 2003, 05:31:17 PM »

I was reading GameNow and it said that because of the lack of VJ sales in Japan, it would probably be ported to PS2. I thought it was selling pretty decently in Japan. Thoughts?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #11 on:** October 09, 2003, 05:34:49 PM »

Actually the opposite is true...Because VJ has lived up to its expectations it won't be ported to the PS2

Stimutacs Addict · « **Reply #12 on:** October 09, 2003, 05:36:39 PM »

i really wish that it would get big on GCN and stay there.. it could be a system seller (with the Cube at 99.99, I would def. buy one for V.Joe and Mario Kart [but i already have a cube..so..])

Didn't the developer say in an interview that if it sold well, it would probably be ported to other systems, and it would be getting a sequel if it did well?

I am pretty sure we will be seeing a sequel. If it's not on GameCube first, I will be very upset. Us GameCube owners went out and put down our money to show our support. We need a reward.

And yes, I bought the game today. The dude at Wal-Mart said that he had JUST put the game on the shelf 2 minutes before I asked for it. I smiled and told him that I was sure that I was the first of many.

i heard this game is MASSIVE and is completly selling out. anyone have any best buy figures or anything. im a freak and am obsessed with sale figures for some reason.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #17 on:** October 10, 2003, 06:57:34 AM »

They (being people who were involved with making VJ, maybe producers or whatnot) also said the game would be too difficult to port because the game was made specifically for the GCN so it would be too much of a problem to port it to the PS2, so read it as "don't hold your breath"

akdaman1 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 10, 2003, 11:46:12 AM »

i was supposed to mention that in my last post. i dont think that the ps2 is as flexible expeccialy when it comes to cel shading to that deggree

Nintendo Gamecube · « **Reply #19 on:** October 10, 2003, 01:29:31 PM »

VJ is the type of game made for the Nintendo system, I doubt it will sell the same on X-box because of its image.

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #20 on:** October 10, 2003, 05:18:47 PM »

I doubt VJ will sell on PS2 and Xbox since their non existant.

rpglover · « **Reply #21 on:** October 10, 2003, 05:53:59 PM »

just got viewtiful joe yesterday and all i can really say is wow- the game just rocks- it is so much fun
i havent played a good sidescroller in a long time and this is just the thing
the vfx are very cool and are integrated into the game very well- not just in fighting, but also in puzzles too
i would say that everyone who owns a gamecube should immediately go out and buy this game- you will not be dissappointed

Pikkcuber · « **Reply #22 on:** October 10, 2003, 07:29:04 PM »

I got viewtiful joe today and i wizzed passed the 1st level and an now stuck in the hotel. The one problem with this game is theres not enough save points. Some puzzles can be a bit difficult to but its a really fun game, a good pick for a top5 game of the year. Does any body know how to get passed the part in the hotel where your in the 3rd floor and the bombs keep coming at ya. I took out all the abd guys and got the key but im stuck there.

Berto2K · « **Reply #23 on:** October 10, 2003, 07:44:00 PM »

bombs and trap doors are fun, put them together and they are even more so

uppercut a bomb to the trap door

Molobert · « **Reply #24 on:** October 10, 2003, 08:14:47 PM »

Just got Viewtiful Joe today in the mail, along with the bobblehead. Surprisingly the bobblehead wasn't plastic, but sort of ceramic, and was hand-painted. Anyway, this game is one of my favorites on GCN. The VFX powers are awesome and very well-used. In fact, I like the puzzles about as much as the core beat-em-up gameplay.

Pikkcuber: see the different colored tile on the ceiling? When the bomb is being thrown at you and is still in the air, kick/punch it up (you might have to use slow) and slow the explosion so it knocks out the tile.
