Capcom ported a lot of PS2/GC gen games to modern consoles like Okami, RE4, RE0, RE1 Remake, Onimusha, DMC 1-3, even MegaMan X7 and X8. But one glaring omission is Viewtiful Joe:



Hope we can get a Viewtiful Joe HD Collection.

(though tbh, I want a port of Haunting Ground and BoFV)

Who?
kidding of course but I don’t really see it happening.

 

[VeganElduderino]

agreed , i started a thread about this a few months ago , i want my Viewtiful Joe 3 , i still have 1and 2 on Gamecube but i would love HD versions

 

[Droxcy]

I remember this game being on a demo disk and it wiping my save for ratchet and clank, GTA & Midnight Club save never liked the franchise after that lol

Wow just found a post about it https://crappygames.miraheze.org/wiki/PlayStation_Underground_Holiday_2004_Demo_Disc

 

[Tomeru]

Are you though?

 

[jigglet]

Best action game ever IMO.

The combo system was the most refined, well crafted combo system in all of video games.

A remaster and / or VJ3 would make me sob like a little school girl.

Hope you called Sony about it. They gave out free games because of this. I got Sly 2, which became my favorite 3D platformer ever at the time. I didn't even play the demo so I still had my saves!

You can play Gamecube games on Wii U with Nintendon't for information.

 

[SkylineRKR]

4k 120hz should be possible. And it would be glorious.

 

[T4rz4]

Low sales or niche game

 

[TheDreadLord]

It was an OK game for its time. Nowadays there are much better options on the market.

Jesus christ man, jesus christ.

 

[MMaRsu]

What about God Hand tho

 

[Somoza]

"Checking that no one i know bought the Okami HD remaster"

I can see why there arent any VJ or God Hand remasters.

 

[Kazza]

It was an OK game for its time. Nowadays there are much better options on the market.

For an intense 2D (or 2.5D) action game with an amazing combo system? I really can't think of any recent ones.

No there isn't.

Yeah! People with great taste in videogames actually like this game.

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

Man I’d buy a Viewtiful HD collection and/or God Hand HD in a heartbeat.

I'd take inspiration from Square.

Viewtiful Joe Remastered: Quantum of Uniformity Perplexion

 

[ReBurn]

It'll end up in a capcom retro collection once PS2 games are considered retro

 

[SkylineRKR]

I think there is none. VJ meshed 2d platforming with something like DMC. And it was incredibly tough. You can do some sick shit in this game. I never gave it enough time, while I did like it.

This its a total crime capcom hasnt ever bothered with VJ other then adding him into MVC3, played it in ps2 afew years back and man that gane has aged so well just making it HD with the first 2 games for £60 is well worth it

 

[mcjmetroid]

Only a matter of time. Viewtiful Joe looks amazing in HD by the way through emulation.

It's the kind of announcement you want to time properly. Perhaps with a new switch revision etc.

God bless Kamiya for Wonderful 101 (a.k.a Viewtiful joe 3)

I own it and never played it. Tell me why you say this. Dont just drive by. =)

i played it on PS2 but i cant remember much, i guess that says alot.

Yep it does. You have bad memory. =D

 

[Mister Wolf]

Never thought much of these games. It seems alot of other people feel the same way including its owner.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

I never tried it...it's worth it?

for sure, the combat is deep and creative.

 

[Kataploom]

What's surprising is that the first game even got a sequel...

 

[jigglet]

lol that's true

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Really? Why are you surprised?

It’s a very niche game that didn’t sell particularly well, it makes perfect sense that it hasn’t been ported.

(Shame though, it’s pretty cool.)

lol

 

[AJUMP23]

I don't think it was popular enough to update.

 

[Kazza]

Yeah, I it was so hard that I confess that I quite at around level 3 . That's not to say that I didn't like it though. There is "good" hard and "bad" hard, and this game is definitely the former. It's just that sometimes you are really in the mood for a challenging game where you need to spend a lot of time mastering the mechanics, and sometimes you're not. I still have my Gamecube copy, as I always wanted to come back to it sometime, but I think I might try the Dolphin emulated version now that I've got a decent PC. I'm sure it looks great in 4K.

 

[yurinka]

It's a shame but Viewtiful Joe games didn't sell well, so they stopped porting it everywhere and making sequels.

 

[dacuk]

Your level of wrongness is over 9000!

 

[jimjonjimmy]

I'm surprised so many people seem to hate this game in this thread. I loved this series. It was very well received when it came out with a sequel, a half sequel, a spin off and even a TV show. I don't have the information but I believe it sold well too. So it is surprising that it never got a re-release or even a new entry.

 

[Son_of_Zardoz]

Haven't thought about this game in years--soooo good and would be amazing in 4k 120hz glory.

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

I was playing the first game emulated a couple years back and even at 1080p it looked amazing. The art style really helps the visuals hold up.

Do it Capcom.

The DS game was surprisingly decent as well. Weird, but decent.

 

[Bakkus]

It’s a very niche game that didn’t sell particularly well, it makes perfect sense that it hasn’t been ported.

It wasn't very niche. Screwattack included it in their top 10 GameCube games which was made right when the console ended. These games were also on said list: RE4, Melee, Soul Calibur 2, Mario Sunshine, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Eternal Darkness, Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime, Ikaruga (now that's more niche, but Craig is a huge shmup fan).

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Watch it get a sequel exclusively on switch and everybody goes crazy

 

[SF Kosmo]

It's kind of an orphan. The people who made it all went to Platinum, but Capcom owns the IP.

I always thought it was more style than substance too, but it seems prime for a Switch remaster or something at least.

Have you played it, 'cause the combat and mechanics were excellent -- still are today.

 

[Megatron]

I am too. What awesome games these were. I think I need to play these again soon.

 

[SF Kosmo]

Yeah, I own it, the mechanics are very novel, but I didn't think it was super fun.
