Viewtiful Joe: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

''Viewtiful Joe'' is a [[X Meets Y|combination]] of [[Platformer]] and Progressive [[Beat'Em Up|Beat-Em-Up]]. The games were originally released on the Nintendo GameCube, and also appeared in enhanced form on Sony PlayStation 2, with a third game on the [[Nintendo DS]].

The story begins when film fan Joe and his girlfriend, Silvia, go to see an old [[Tokusatsu]] movie. However, when Silvia is unexpectedly kidnapped by the villain, Joe is brought into movie land to save her. The first game saw Joe running through various movie sets, defeating [[Mecha-Mooks]] with his powers of [[Bullet Time|VFX Slow]], [[Super Speed|VFX Mach Speed]], and [[Mundane Made Awesome|VFX Zoom]], in an attempt to rescue Silvia from the evil Jadow and thus prevent them from escaping to the real world.
