The Shockingly Hardcore Viewtiful Joe Series

what that tongue do?

Viewtiful Joe, one of the Capcom 5, a creative and bizarre Hideki Kamiya original - it's time to take a look at the series, from the first to the sequel to the spinoffs. A franchise that exploded onto store shelves and burned up in 2 years.

It's been a while since we covered a hardcore action game. Viewtiful Joe's a bit odd because, being remembered as a Nintendo game, there's all kinds of opinions about Joe's difficulty. I can confirm it's hard, but the context for difficulty is what's interesting: it's a game that requires the player memorize the controls, develop muscle memory and execution. It has similarities to fighters in that regard. And fair enough, Joe's been in his fair share of fighters, from MvC3 to Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

**Trying out auto-generated closed captions with premiere, so if they're funny, and I know they are, that's why. I don't put a lot of stock into opinions about increasing engagement on this site, so if it works I'll be taking an extra workday every cycle to transcribe captions. Please understand as well that the only reason they aren't always present is time and effort. My schedule's packed and I don't take days off. That's all.
