The producer of Viewtifull Joe (...Kamitani? I thought it was something like "Ine... Ineba, Inesomething. Well, I don't care, and I don't want to check.) says he's thinking about porting VJ to PS2. The only problem would be the hardware limitations, but in no way an exclusive thingie a la Bio Hazard 4. He also says the team behind Dead Phenix has been dissolved, but they plan to use the system on another new game in the future.
He's still thinking about his next game and the platform he'll make it. [ note : he said in the past that although he wasn't satisfied with the sells of VJ in Japan (because he's proud of his game and think it deserved more), he will think about making VJ2 according to the sales in the US. buy buy buy buy!]

Well, there's a big advertising campaign planned for it... including spots in Maxim and Mad Magazine with commercials during Adult Swim and Smackdown. Seems like they're making good choices to me.

I know I'm going to shell out for a copy. We gotta let Capcom know that we want them to make cool games.

Yeah, only problem that the US commercial of Viewtiful Joe are not Viewtiful at all. More like Crapiful.

Something that I really liked of the Japanese commercial is that it was able to portray the essence of the game. You know, the movie effects, the VFK voices, Joe's speeches, etc. And most importantly, they were able to include game footage in an effective way. In the US commercials, all you see are a bunch of random footage and a *very* dull voice talking about the game. Joe's voice is nowhere.

I saw the US commercial yesterday during Adult Swim and I felt something was wrong. Then, I watched the Japanese commercial (or trailer) followed by the mini anime episodes available on the web site (episode 8's song rules). Then, they showed a different US commercial and I will be honest: I actually felt anger towards Capcom. That is *not* the way a game as original as VJ is to be advertised. They actually managed to make VJ look like just another "me too" game.

Isn't that the site that "confirmed" that the mysterious FFVII project was an FFVII prequel starring Vincent and the rest of the Turks?

They didn't "confirm" that. It was a rumor among others.
