Back on a mobile game, I mean.

In one of the more bizarre crossover events in recent memory, Capcom's beloved superhero Viewtiful Joe will be a playable character in an upcoming update to mobile brawler Combo Crew.

Combo Crew, if you haven't played it, is a beat-'em-up with a gesture-driven control scheme that works wonders on touchscreens.

In our review, we said: "A frantic beat-'em-up that fuses a retro sensibility with modern touchscreen controls, Combo Crew is an often brilliant, always entertaining way to punch some goons in the face."

And Viewtiful Joe is the hero of a series of cult classic and underappreciated Capcom games, which started life on GameCube. Pocket gamers got Red Hot Rumble on PSP, and Double Trouble on DS.

You are clearly an evil being who enjoys the suffering of others

 

[Neiteio]

Oh man, ViewtifulJC is going to be ECSTATIC.

 

[Alpha_eX]

You and Capcom both deserve a punch in the throat for this.

*leaves thread*

 

[Lunar15]

GAF slowly realizes, with horror, that mobile games are going to ruin everything they ever loved.

 

[Byronic Hero]

You got me OP/Capcom. You got me. Shot through the heart.

 

[Ridley327]

I knew that the pan was going to be hot, and I still touched it.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I wonder what this says about me, in that I see a thread title like this, and my first reaction isn't joy or curiosity or even interest, but "I wonder how shitty this mobile game is gonna look"

 

[Drencrom]

Only CAPCOM®

 

[Drago]

I haven't even played a Viewtiful Joe game and I still feel angry

 

[Hargenx]

Oh god why.....WHY!!????!!!!!

 

[kitsuneyo]

I can't decide whether I hate you or Capcom more.

Haha

 

[Oregano]

Should've been The Wonderful 101 instead.

 

[Dartastic]

Knew it.

Somehow I did too.

 

[Skeff]

Came into this hoping it wasn't a mobile game, was disapointed.

 

[Chamber]

Not cool, playboy.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Too predictable.

 

[Dahbomb]

Fuck you OP!!

I had my "Aww shit Viewtiful Joe 3" post ready.

 

[SolarPowered]

I'm not even mad. I knew what this was going to be from the very start.

Can't fool me.

 

[Dark Phoenix]

I knew it.

 

[Bundy]

Back on a mobile game, I mean.

[kadotsu]

I hope they put that iOS money to good use on some nice outsourced shootquels for their fan favorite franchises.

 

[Oersted]

We have that Nintendo/Capcom collab thingie and than this headline. I hate you.

 

[batbeg]

I came into this thread with the comment "How does Viewtiful Joe even translate even translate into mobile controls?" already pre-loaded. I think... I think I've become pre-cognitive.

Now to use these powers for good or evil...

 

[SwiftDeath]

 

[Gbraga]

 

[Mokubba]

Is this a precursor for what will happen at TGS because my HYPE is quickly deflating.

 

[kurbaan]

 

[Pappasman]

We have that Nintendo/Capcom collab thingie and then this headline. I hate you.

I thought the same thing. I need to start expecting this mobile shit from now on.
