The EB Games Web site lists Viewtiful Joe 2 as being shipped on November 23, 2004.

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/243334.asp (Nintendo GameCube version)

Is this really happening?

truesayian · Aug 17, 2004

I"m liking the box art.

Doom_Bringer · Aug 17, 2004

I am gonna buy Viewtiful Joe 1, VJ 2 and Devil May Cry in December for sure! Capcom roxx

GSG Flash · Aug 17, 2004

Damn my eyes are bad, didn't see the print on the bottom

Deku Tree · Aug 17, 2004

I hope so!

Wario64 · Aug 17, 2004

I don't know if you guys are being sarcastic, but can you not see the fine print on the 'box art' ?

Mejilan · Aug 17, 2004

Mine. Any word of whether or not either version will have some kind of exclusive features?

Deku Tree · Aug 17, 2004

I can see the fine print and I really can't see Capcom releasing VJ2 in November... But I'd buy it if they did.

And gamestop is contradicting ebgames!

It was originally announced with a November release date. I don't know why this comes as a surprise...

Inaba said that both versions will be exactly the same when they were announced.

Thank you, I must have missed that tidbit. Cube version it is, then, if only so that the two games will sit together on my shelf!

Chopin Trusty Balls · Aug 17, 2004

Capcoms releaselists said 2005 all the time,2004 release is very doubtful.

Ebgames lists Conker and Jade Empire as 2004 btw,and some other delayed games too.

When a game suddenly gets pushed back,its a hint at possible delay,not the other way around.

Same here, I'm getting the GCN version first. I kinda wish they would do something like the original VJ and release the PS2 version about 6 months later with a few extras. I'm already getting the PS2 version of Viewtiful Joe because of my love of Dante, but VJ2 is going to make me choose...damn Capcom.

While I don't actually think either version will come out in November (seems kinda odd to me), Capcom's site has a Nov 15th date for both versions. The date should be taken with a grain of salt, they always list games that aren't on the main page yet as the 15th of their respective release month.

Mejilan · Aug 17, 2004

I plan on getting VJ1 for the PS2 also, once it hits 20 or below.

Just Kidding.

Does somebody know the europian launch? when did Viewtiful Joe came out in America anyway? (europe: okt 2003)

On or about October 7, 2003

I believe it was October 7th, 2003.

Memles · Aug 17, 2004

Still think Nintendo should throw some money Capcom's way, and get this as a Time Exclusive for the Holidays.

cvxfreak · Aug 17, 2004

I'm going to get the GCN version because it's the system I play more, even though I'm dumping the GC game for the PS2 version.

I agree, especially with the PS2 version exposing the game to a larger market. Nothing like making people covet a sequel on another system. Either way, it gives the GC holiday line-up a little boost.

so we can expect Viewtiful Joe 2 in Europe end 2004? ^^

Memles · Aug 17, 2004

Seriously? Because...wow.

It BETTER be only $50 Canadian again, then. Damn well better...makes me have to finish Joe first, though.

Both versions? Man...that means 2 Joe titles in 3 months for the PS2...might be a bit of overkill, a delay of the PS2 Version might actually better its chances.

jarrod · Aug 17, 2004

I wouldn't be surprised, especially with Shadow of Rome, DMC3, Outbreak 2 and RE4 all falling back to 2005... Capcom needs something big this year, and VJ2 sounds good enough.

Sagitario · Aug 17, 2004

I don't want to believe it... my wallet will be hurt

... damn!

Wario64 · Aug 17, 2004

Oh shit, it's true! My wallet cries!

http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/08/17/news_6105061.html

After being saddled for months with a vague "fall 2004" release window, Viewtiful Joe 2 now has a set ship date. Capcom officials confirmed to GameSpot today that the sequel to last year's cel-shaded beat-'em-up will be released on November 23. Unlike the first Joe, the sequel will be released simultaneously for the PlayStation 2 and GameCube. The game is not yet rated, but will retail for $39.99.

Solid · Aug 17, 2004

Woah, it's a Viewtiful fall this year. VJ1 + VJ2, thanks Capcom.

Deku Tree · Aug 17, 2004

My wallet cries but this is great news!

That's one cool cover! October 29th for us Euros

JasoNsider · Aug 17, 2004

A single tear of joy just fell from my eyes. Co-op arcade gameplay is going to be awesome this year with both Alien Hominid and Viewtiful Joe 2. Hopefully Joe 2 is game of the year material again.

I heard there were other images like this on the net... of Link, Mario and maybe Captain Falcon. Anyone know where to find them?

SantaC · Aug 17, 2004

wow this adds to the "horrid" (as some people call it :/) xmas GC lineup. Love VJ!

Sagitario · Aug 18, 2004

Damn! I will buy it next year then... I wont be able to afford it...

Agreed.
Capcom's been nice to Canada lately, let's hope they do it again.

amrum · Aug 18, 2004

November 23 is the North American launch date, what about Europe ??

Q1 2005 I guess :/

Solid · Aug 18, 2004

VJ1 PS2 will cost 299 Euro when it's released. That's a very good move by Capcom.

+1 sales
