Gaming News - January 2006
(January 4, 2006) - Geneon Entertainment today announced that they
will be releasing Viewtiful Joe on UMD and DVD this February.
From Geneon Entertainment:
The superhero sensation is sweeping the nation thanks to the heroic exploits
of Movieland’s diminutive champion… the tireless, fearless and super-cool
Viewtiful Joe, who’s making his domestic DVD and UMD debut on February 7, 2006
from Geneon Entertainment. Based on Capcom’s wildly popular console video game,
the vibrant and fun combination of Japanese and American comic-style character
design has transformed the kids’ television landscape, securing a solid place as
the top-ranked show in its timeslot for children 2-11.
Named Game Of The Year in 2003 by USA Today, Viewtiful Joe has been
consistently ranked among many gamers’ favorite franchises worldwide, garnering
several accolades including the G-Phoria awards, SpikeTV Video Game Awards and
the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Games Awards. And with his
spunky girlfriend Silvia by his side, Viewtiful Joe continues to take the world
by storm, making his triumphant domestic television debut on Kids’ WB, the #1
broadcast network for Saturday morning children’s programming.
Packaged with a limited edition “HENSHIN!” (“transform!”) lenticular card and
Joe sticker, the Viewtiful Joe VOLUME ONE DVD and UMD will each be available for
a suggested retail price of $19.98. Featuring the opening and closing themes
songs in both Japanese and English, as well as a bonus track, the heroic
Viewtiful Joe Soundtrack CD will also be available on February 7 for a suggested
retail price of $14.98.
