The sequel to the hot Gamecube exclusive, Viewtiful Joe, is being released complete with brand new environments, over 40 new enemies, a new VFX mode eplay is introduced, It is also going to be as challenging and easier than the last game (whatever that means), sylvia (Joe's girlfriend) is also playable and it is all going to be released at the end of the year for PS2 and Gamecube.
Wahoo.
Wahoo.

What's wrong with the game appearing on the PS2?

What's wrong with the game appearing on the PS2?
The fact that there will be little to no added insentive to use the full hardware of the GameCube.

What's wrong is that we may get a worse quality PS2 version of the game, rather than one optimised for the Cube.
And I remember seeing definate information on Viewtiful Joe some months back, that you would definately be playing Sylvia for one.

What you mean that rumour reported by a Capcom "insider"... yes I heard that too.
For starters the game is being developed with the original engine in mind, an engine already built around the Gamecube hardware and a similar one will be created for the PS2's port of the game.
Capcom are not crazy enough to build the engine on another system and port it the other way.
Also if VJ was to increase sales then it has done it's job with the original title... and it didn't. I'm glad to see Capcom still supporting the Cube.

But it turned out like Metroid Prime... as soon as another game came along I left it.
I returned to Metroid Prime recently and that has shot up my best games ever list and now sits nicely behind Zelda and in front of Sunshine and KArt. Viewtiful Joe sits behind Soul Calibur 2 BUT that's because I stopped playing it for an unknown reason.
I will return to the game in due course.

Must have missed all this "information" then about the game using the same engine. Last I heard they were completely modifying it, granted this was a rumour but it's nothing more extravegant than what you have just said.
As with all multiformat games these days, the so called "better" console usually has a version on par with the "poorer" console which 9 times out of 10 ends up being the PS2. Just wait and see.
Also Cyclone is right, you were raving about it as one of the best games ever.

They aren't building a new engine read the interview at gamespot he is merely making a bigger sequel, same graphics, same style.

Viewtiful Joe for the Gamecube can be done on the PS2, it is harder as they don't have the GC's special effects. But it can be done. It's hardly Zelda or F Zero.

Well I raved about it as the game rules. But the Game has never got passed the fourth position in my charts so hardly the best game ever. A game that's a bit like the old 2D titles i used to play when younger.

I didn't say it was the best game ever, you will find a post you did though suggesting that it is.
Thats not my point though, my point is they will not use the hardware of the Cube like they would if it was an exclusive, that is factual. That and the fact that core gameplay will have to be changed to actually appeal to "casual gamers" whatever they are.
