Scratch! Viewtiful Joe (Nintendo DS)
Craving Viewtiful Joe DS details? The latest Famitsu magazine gives us an insight into this upcoming DS titles from Capcom, which is now tentatively titled Scratch! Viewtiful Joe.
In Joe's latest adventure -- now with dual-screen, touch interactive additions -- we see Joe going after a stolen film that an evil nemesis named Madou has taken. This latest adventure takes place in a large theme park and Captain Blue needs you to get that film back for him.
You won't be alone, however, as Joe's younger sister, Jasmine, will be a new character that appears in the game. Jasmine wishes to someday be an actress, and whether she will play a vital role to the gameplay is yet to be determined.
Scratch! Viewtiful Joe will retain the 2D graphics and side-scrolling gameplay from the console versions, and the touch-screen interaction will be implemented, but not extensively. The only use for the touch screen will be for VFX moves such as the "split VFX" which requires you to draw a horizontal line across the screen with your finger to cut items -- such as a billboard -- in half, allowing Joe to drop these on enemies below. Such unique VFX powers are a great addition to the series, and these specific ones are exclusive to the DS version of the game.

Viewtiful Joe: VFX Battle (Nintendo Gamecube, Sony PSP)
According to the latest issue of the popular Japanese magazine Weekly Famitsu, Capcom is currently developing a brand new Viewtiful Joe title for 2005. Known as Viewtiful Joe: VFX Battle, the mysterious new follow-up isn't a proper sequel to the popular action series, but rather an open-ended fighting game that's not unlike Super Smash Bros and Digimon Rumble Arena.
Unfortunately few details about the game are currently known except for the fact that the game is already under production and that you'll be able to play as characters from both the game and the anime (such as Blue Jr, Silvia, and Joe himself). Contrary to our previous translation error, however, VFX Battle will be released for the Sony PSP and Nintendo GameCube -- and not the PS2 as originally thought.
We contacted Capcom representatives for an official comment, but they had none to provide. So we suppose that we'll just have to wait and see what happens down the road before we receive some kind of official announcement. We'll keep you updated as new information becomes available.
