thats a really wierd lineup... is this gonna be a normal thing, gc and psp games?duckroll said:
edit: ah ok. gamespot's story explains that. I'm glad Scratch! VJ is going to be a "normal" style game, 2d sidesroller. I was afraid of some sort of wierd puzzle game or something.

It's not a weird line up at all really...Viewtiful Joe 2 bombed pretty hard...And it bombed worse on the PlayStation 2. The PlayStation 2 version of the original Viewtiful Joe didn't sell well either, even with Dante.
Here's another thought. GC = 4 controller ports, PS2 = 2 controller ports, PSP = wifi. Considering the PS2 VJs didn't do well at all, why force the issue when you can try eating into the PSP market instead? They would probably have ported it to the DS too if the hardware wasn't such a piece of shit, hence they have to make some other type of game for the DS.

They're making a normal Viewtiful Joe game for the DS, in VJ: Scratch. There's nothing wrong with that at all.

I don't see any article about this on Gamespot. Was it taken down?

I'll probably get the PSP version, since the graphics will likely be about the same as the GCN one only I have the convienance of being able to play it anywhere.
Not sure about it being a fighting game though. It could be super cool, but it could also be a bit more limited than the regular games were.

CAPBOMBS AWAY!
Anybody that liked that turd Power Stone should definitely check out Gotcha Force. It reminds me a bit of Virtual On for kids, severely dumbed down; but still hella fun. Hella? WTF?!
And it's only like $20 brand new.
Buy Gotcha Force!

I'll get the GCN version for sure (multiplayer) and if its good I'll get the PSP version as well.
Wonderful idea. PSP games are going to be pretty few and far between over the next few months, if current release lists are any indication. I'm sure there will be tons of announcements at E3, but even still, if Capcom puts this out this Summer, it could be a huge hit -- in North America, at least, I think. I'll get both the GC and PSP versions. And Scratch! VJ.

In the Gamespot article, they describe it as an action game so I doubt its going to be a spin-off:

Clover Studio Special!
- Scratch! Viewtiful Joe [DS]
- Viewtiful Joe VFX Battle[ GC, PSP]
- Oogami [PS2]
- special interview
wait for jonnyram's confirmation tomorrow
GC and PSP? Well, hell of a rumour thread to begin with. Makes more sense to at least have the VJ titles on GC. Console exclusive? I thought GAF would have us believe Capcom was done with Nintendo after RE4bomba.

The PS2 doesn't really have a larger "install base" when it comes down to games like Viewtiful Joe.
More casuals own a PS2, and there is about 999x's more piracy on the PS2.
The "PS2's" uber-lage install base only applies for games that have EA or Rockstar on them.
The amount of hardcore gamers on the PS2 is mostly similar to that of the GC.
And I don't know about you, but I don't see casuals flocking to buy the Viewtiful Joe games.
This is to those who keep touting that "OMG OMG it sold more on the GC!!!!"
It's not really a big deal, also--there was a lot more advertising for the GC version.

A Viewtiful Joe game in the spirit of Powerstone sounds like a great idea in theory, but I'm not sure how the execution will work. You can't just slow down or speed up time with three other people playing. I'm curious as to what they've got planned.
EDIT - Actually, I suppose they can feasibly tweak the VFX to things like having your character speed up, or having all other players slow down.

Wow, that VJ Scratch looks awesome. Time to add another DS title to the buy list. I'm going to be buying more DS games than any other system this year at this rate.
Scratch looks fantastic given the DS capabilities. They didn't even need to resort to sprites.
Clover Studio should work platform exclusive characters into VFX Battle. Dante for PSP and Rockman.EXE for GC would work well I think. Or maybe Chibi Link in the GC version if Capcom can swing it.
