I absolutely love Viewtiful Joe. The stylish cel-shaded look, the fun gameplay, the absurd humor, everything about it just hits all the right notes for me. To this day, I still can’t believe that Capcom hasn’t made a Viewtiful Joe 3 yet, even though they’ve made a sequel to Okami in the form of Okamiden for the DS. So when the Operation Rainfall Retro Commercial Research Team (in other words, me) went to find some Viewtiful Joe commercials in English for this week’s Retro Wrap-Up…there weren’t any. The only commercials that could be found were in Japanese. So I guess this will be a Foreign Wrap-Up instead.
Here are the highlights of this week.
