With its wit, style, and clever movie-inspired gameplay mechanics, Viewtiful Joe was a critical hit for Capcom in 2003. Joe returned over the next few years for several more games, a manga, and even a TV show, but there hasn't been a new entry in the series since 2005. What happened to Viewtiful Joe, and would Capcom ever finally make a Viewtiful Joe 3? For this episode, Sean is joined by writer, DJ, and podcaster Matt "Stormageddon" (@djstormageddon.com) as together they look back on the series, share their favorite VFX-powered moments, and wonder about its future.
