Capcom producer Atsushi Inaba said at the ECTS trade event in the United Kingdom today that the company is considering a sequel to the GameCube action title, Viewtiful Joe. The decision to go ahead with development lies on the game's performance in North America. Despite positive reviews, Inaba and his colleagues were disappointed with the sales it pulled in after its release in Japan. However, if America or Europe show substantial interest, there's reason enough to extend the series.

Viewtiful Joe is shipping exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube on October 8 in North America. Expect GAF to cover the "event" fully. Henshin a-go-go, Baby!

I thought it was assumed that if a Capcom game sells well its gonna get at least 1 sequel.

I'm definitely buying the game coming from playing the demo but I hope enough people buy it to keep something old school with a cool take going.

People better buy this. They better. If the creation of a sequel to an excellent game is destroyed... let's just say they better buy it.

...But they won't. :(

Yeah, but what they're saying is that at the current rate it won't get a sequel.

yeah, a week or so ago i came to the conclusion that i really need to stop importing so much. really need to start supporting sales in the US.

kinda the same way i looked at VJ...i really wanted to import it, but i know i couldn't justify buying it twice...

thank goodness i had the demo to hold me over

I thought I read that it immediately sold out of its initial run in japan, so I figured it sold well over there.=\

i remember reading that as well...

Is the director of Viewtifull Joe the same director who did Devil May Cry?

I like how the JP version has all the jokes in English. The people over in Japan who buy it won't understand any of it.

Too bad some of the dialogue is hard to hear due to loud music or characters with freakish voices (first boss). And no, Mikami didn't direct the game. My friends all played the game and loved it, they were like, "this makes me want to get a Gamecube just for this". Too bad they won't do it:/
