The worst thing about us never getting a true Viewtiful Joe 3 is the fact that the first two games literally tell the player, that they are part of a three part series. In the ending of the first game Captain Blue tells Joe that he would have to defend Earth two more times, and at the end of the second game Joe is about to head into a spooky looking mansion for his final adventure. And then... that adventure never came. Thanks for the video though, Viewtiful Joe doesn't get nearly as much love as it deserves.
Viewtiful Joe 3 wasn't just a "possible discussion." The ending to both of the main games has the characters mention "the Earth will be targeted by 3 great threats" and VJ2 ended with one of the characters promising the origins of the Black Film and Black V Watch would be revealed. It was always meant to be a trilogy. And there are Easter Eggs in Wonderful 101 that reveal it to be connected to Viewtiful Joe like Silvia being an unlockable character (Wonder Cheerleader) and Wonder Pink having a quick time failure animation where she talks on the phone with Silvia about "the third installment of a Red Hot Trilogy." Kamiya wants to make it. He planned to from the beginning. But he can't without Capcom's approval and they're not really sure about it just yet
OtakuUnitedStudio Not knowing who that third main threat is and the one pulling the strings really bothers me til this day. Darn it Capcom I really need to know.
@@monadoboy9670 I'm not so sure. But I'm hoping so. The thing is, it's already been 13 years and they haven't even done a remake. They have other series that were more popular and lasted longer but also have gone longer without a sequel and don't appear to be likely to get one, like Commando and Breath of Fire. It just seems like they want to focus more on guaranteed best sellers like Street Fighter and Resident Evil.
Never say never. Just look at Mega Man for proof. Besides, imo SFV and MvCI were such disappointments that putting Ryu & Ken in Smash is one of the best strategies Capcom's had in a long time
You know, I remember when the Viewtiful Joe anime was aired on the kids channel Jetix (now know as Disney XD) here in the UK. I think they never aired the final episode on that channel, which really disappointed me and my brother at the time.
I just picked up Viewtiful Joe the other week and I'm in the process of getting back not only Cube games I previously owned, but ones I've never owned as well. I've also recently got Super Monkey Ball and Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg. The GameCube was awesome.
Yea I never had a GameCube, but I’ve been playing all the games I wanted to play but never got to, on an emulator on my PC. VJ, Snash Bro’s melee, Mario sunshine, luigis mansion etc.
One thing that should be said is that the aesthetic of the main hero is based on a japanese series called Nebula Mask Machineman, a very campy and successful hero back in Japan in the 80's.
I would love a HD collection of the Viewtiful Joe games. Even if it was just a Switch thing rather than being pushed to 4k on PS4 and Xbox One. It's easily one of the best spectacle fighter games ever made.
Wonderful 101 and Viewtiful Joe are connected, Wonder-Cheerleader is Sylvia, also Poseman is Joe, even Wonder-Pink while on the phone with Sylvia in an easter egg is talking about Joe. how'd you miss this? Also way to much content padding, if I pull just relevant and related info from this video it would total about 12 mins
If I remember correctly, the addition of Dante changed some things in the game. Sylvia was replaced with Trish, I think demon Virgil may have replaced a boss, dialogue was changed. I can't remember exactly but I do remember it was more than your typical skin swap a lot of 'guest characters' tend to get.
I'm so glad you covered Viewtiful Joe! It was my very first video game (specifically the PS2 version) and, along with Sonic, was one of the main things that forged my personality, so it was so great learning the full history of the franchise!
Daniel, I promised you on Twitter that if you didn't mention this in the video I'd have to bring it up, so here goes. There's a small French game dev team called The Game Bakers, best known for the title Furi, but I know them best for the Squids series (I was a beta tester on Squids 2) and in 2013 they released a mobile exclusive swipe controlled beat 'em up called Combo Crew. While this game uses many original characters and Sammo from Squids, they did do an official license deal with Capcom to allow Joe to be a playable fighter, and for a mobile exclusive title, Combo Crew is actually a pretty fun beat 'em up. All that aside, this was a super awesome video, and a great look back at one of my favorite Capcom series. I'm still holding out hope for that Viewtiful Joe HD Collection on Switch (Joe and Silvia's colors even match the iconic Joy-Cons, that's some perfect marketing right there!) and of course, that Viewtiful Joe 3.
Viewtiful Joe was one of my favorite game series as a kid. I wish that Viewtiful Joe 2 included a co-op mode. I really enjoyed playing Red Hot Rumble with my brothers and cousins.
At work I randomly think of a really old game or tv show that I haven’t seen or thought of in years and today.. Viewtiful Joe was one of them.. nice video man!
I owned the gamecube in my youth and played on it whenever I could with my twin brother. Viewtiful Joe was one of the games we played. Took turns on each stage to keep it fair. Trying to "style" harder than the other to see who can be the better Joe lol In the end I just let him play while I gave him a play by play of how to make the fights more "viewtiful" and let him go at it.
I never knew about the sequels, and haven't actually played the first game, but it comes highly recommended from a close friend. Great job on this one. :)
While it was OK as a kids' show, the anime wasn't all that great, and I personally didn't think it was all that faithful to the games, even when considering the need for filler, most of which was pretty bad. Only the intro arc and the last episode really follow the story beats that the game actually has very faithfully. Then they created an original character to serve as a mostly useless kid sidekick. One early episode actually introduced a very interesting side-plot involving mass kidnappings from the real world...only for it to never be brought up again. Six Machine was barely ever used and had its name inverted (although honestly, "Machine Six" is actually a better name). Wait, 51 episodes?! We only got the first season here in the U.S. I just assumed that the show was considered so mediocre that it got cancelled before it could adapt the second game. I guess that was only true of the Western release.
To be fair to people arguing Wonderful 101 is a Viewtiful Joe spinoff, there is reason in the actual game itself. One of the Wondeful Ones in the game, Wonder-Cheerleader, is named Sylvianne Lumiere, and looks like Sylvia from Viewtiful Joe, not to mention Wonder Pink, in one of the QTE fails, mentions a Sylvia and Joe in a phone call. Finally, Kamiya-san, himself, apparently, outright stated that Wonder Cheerleader IS Sylvia from Viewtiful Joe.
Back in the Gamecube era, I foolishly believed that 2D side-scrollers were dead, that any game that wasn't fully 3D, wasn't worth my time, and even scoffed at Viewtiful Joe when it first saw it, only to immediately eat my words once I actually played the game. I hope someday Capcom completes the trilogy, and releases a proper 3rd installment. I personally like Red Hot Rumble, but it's not enough to fill the void
Resident Evil 2 was the best of the series, IMO. Multiple, complete and different stores for each character and a special ending if you did them all. I loved it.
Wow I remember wiping at least 3 memory cards with that Viewtiful Joe 2 demo when I was 11. It left such a bad taste in my mouth that I lost interest and never bought it haha...
I literally squealed when i saw you were doing a Complete History of Viewtiful Joe. Even at the local game shop, the guy behind the counter was trying to convince a man to buy this game. I chimed in and told him it was worth it lol
Nice! Love the Viewtiful Joe games! If we get another it'd be great if it was a 3D game like Bayonetta or Devil May Cry. Would fit this series well! BTW there's another gamecube startup sound if you hold Z on 4 controllers plugged in at once.
oh man! viewtiful joe 1 & 2 are 2 of my favorite games of all time, everything clover studio did was absolutely excellent. im about to settle in for this one
Also, people believe Wonderful 101 to be a spin off because one of the character (Wonder-cheerleader) was confirmed by Hideki Takiya himself to be Sexy Silvia, she's good friend with Wonder-Pink. (Joe is also mentioned in the game)
Opinions are opinions and not everyone has to like everything (as I found that Red Hot Rumble was nothing resembling of Smash Bros. and was kick-ass and both Red Hot Rumble and Double Trouble were very fun spin-offs that benefited from being on their respective platforms) but there are a multitude of simply inaccurate mentions in video. It's worth searching up the actual history behind the series in order to truly understand not only some of the smaller intricacies (such as Viewtiful Joe Revival and its slightly different gameplay and the anime series' very troubled localization) but also what happened to Viewtiful Joe's games and why Capcom lost faith the series, which ultimately led to them losing Clover and them entirely dissolving. Even though Viewtiful Joe had next to no real budget, Capcom, in a way, blamed the lack of impressive and sustainable sales on Clover entirely. Capcom currently has little to no faith in the series or character, despite their total ownership of it. Joe himself barely made it into Tatsunoko vs Capcom and was little more than an afterthought...another title not mentioned in video.
Platinum games released a trailer for a new game titled project g.g and when they reveal the title in the trailer it has a subtitle that says a go-go. I don't want to get my hopes up but if that trailer signifies the return of joe then I might cry but we're gonna have to wait and see if it's really him :')
Why is it that a lot of Clover Studios / Platinum Games games have been critically acclaimed but sold not so well? Are they not so good at marketing or something? Genuinely confused and curious.
Capcom tends to not like to do marketing for particular titles, due to...whatever circumstance they see fit. God Hand is a prime example. While some of it at this point can only be speculation, it is well known that Capcom DOES NOT like to front marketing costs for the localization of their games--in other words, original Japanese games that make it overseas. See Monster Hunter 3 and Sengoku Basara for more info. The short version is they simply don't do extensive marketing for games they believe won't do well overseas. Which led to Sengoku Basara being left in Japan indefinitely. No matter what anyone says, Capcom went about it the wrong way.
Their hit and miss they try new things and just cause its good doesnt neccesarily lead to fame and fortune its why so many are content to shove out the same bullshit that sells every year (see call of booty,any sport game,and your ass ass creeds)
I got hold of 1st and 2nd game in PS2 next to nothing a little while ago, and totally forgot I had them and never played them before. Look forward to giving them ago now!
fuck the hell yes you have made my day dan this game series really is one of my fuckin faves and i really would love to eventually see it return with former clover studio guys on board
I think viewtiful joe is least reviewed because many see it as a standard beat em up and nothing special. It's no the last if us or something deep but it was a smash hit when it came out. Problem was viewtiful joe was just some power ranger looking guy who can speed up, slow down, and set himself on fire. It's a beautiful game and much more so many don't feel like checking it out but I love this franchise. Capcom must really hate this game. Both games need a remaster on the playstation 4 and Nintendo switch and maybe a new viewtiful joe game on both consoles. Viewtiful joe doesn't fit on the xbox. Also if capcom were to finish off the franchise with one more go at the franchise, then I hope they name it viewtiful forever
19:43 and my ptsd and repressed rage comes flooding back....500+ hours of saves from ps1 and 2 games GONE......... I can't describe the terror of reading the letter that sony quickly sent out begging you to pull your mem cards before playing and running to my room to see if my saves were safe only to experience the soul crushing moment to find out years of my gaming efforts were gone.. FUCK YOU SONY/CLOVER!!!!!
Maybe Capcom might remaster the first two games for the current systems, release those and see how well they're received in order to test the waters on if people really want a new game in the series or not. Much like they've been doing with Mega Man. It's a big if though.
I would love to see a game developed by Hideki Kamiya, Hideo Kojima and Goichi Suda. If that were to happen probably the universe would spontaneously implode. That would be awesome.

Thank you sm 😂
And Joe still needs to find his way into Smash Bros.
Well if Steve and Alex can do it so can he.
I’ve been saying this since Smash 4

Yeah not surprised.
At the height of its popularity an Indy wrestling promotion in Japan gave of its wrestlers a Viewtiful Joe gimmick, costume and all
If I remember correctly, the addition of Dante changed some things in the game. Sylvia was replaced with Trish, I think demon Virgil may have replaced a boss, dialogue was changed.
I can't remember exactly but I do remember it was more than your typical skin swap a lot of 'guest characters' tend to get.
12:02 is where it finally starts.
Silvia's playable in the 1st game but unlockable
"Resident Evil : The Complete History". needs to happen.
I wish this series would return. Either with a new title or an anniversary rerelease.
More like Imcomplete History. no Viewtifuljoe 3
still pray for vj3 joe wouldnt lose hope neither can we
Give it a rest. He can't cover something that has yet to exist
I'm so glad you covered Viewtiful Joe! It was my very first video game (specifically the PS2 version) and, along with Sonic, was one of the main things that forged my personality, so it was so great learning the full history of the franchise!
To this day I still can't beat the first level on Viewtiful Joe. That helicopter....
Most criminally underrated series. It's disgusting that it hasn't been ported to modern systems.
It was reasonably popular back when it released, but nowadays, yeah. Not many remember it.

Nice documentary. Thanks for this. I am a faithful member of the Viewtiful Cult.
I always feel like Wonderful 101 was a spiritual successor.
Your right
Absolutely loved Viewtiful Joe on the Gamecube and even the DS, it needs to make a return.... Henshin A Go Go Baby,
Also, I'd like to point out that Sylvia is actually a playable character in Wonderful 101
Viewtiful Joe was one of my favorite game series as a kid. I wish that Viewtiful Joe 2 included a co-op mode. I really enjoyed playing Red Hot Rumble with my brothers and cousins.
Yaaaaaaaas wasn't expecting this at all Slope :) you legend.
At work I randomly think of a really old game or tv show that I haven’t seen or thought of in years and today.. Viewtiful Joe was one of them.. nice video man!
Really appreciate that mate glad you liked it
Video actually starts at 3:48
Joe's girlfriend was named Sylvia, not Cynthia. Also, who pronounces Kamen "Kay-men"?
Headset Guy As a fan of film composer Michael Kamen (“Lethal Weapon” series, “Highlander”), I’ve only heard it pronounced as “KAY-men.”
Joe is still my favorite ps2 game that to the point I still have it.
It’s kamen (common) rider not k-men rider
Viewtiful Joe is SO much more fun on PS2.
Also Joe & Sylvia shared Slow and Zoom, not Mach Speed.
One of my all time favourite games on the Game Cube. So much fun! Great video as always Dan
A classic of my childhood, always stood out as a really unique one. Great job!
Almost forgot about these great games... The viewtiful joe soundtrack is so full of energy, still gives me goosebumps.
I owned the gamecube in my youth and played on it whenever I could with my twin brother.

Somebody let Capcom know it's time for a new Viewtiful Joe game and he should be in Super smach bros ultimate!!
An HD Collection would be AMAZING!
It's a cel-shaded graphics style, so would HD really do all that much for it? Then again, we got an HD remaster of "Wind Waker," so who knows?
_Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series!_
I never knew about the sequels, and haven't actually played the first game, but it comes highly recommended from a close friend. Great job on this one. :)
Been waiting a decade for my HD ports, I am legitimately mad new generations haven't been introduced to it and the art style would look so crisp.

Maybe Capcom might remaster the first two games for the current systems, release those and see how well they're received in order to test the waters on if people really want a new game in the series or not. Much like they've been doing with Mega Man.
It's a big if though.
One of my favorite 2D Beat-em-up games!
