NCS Product Synopsis
Update: September 28, 2005
«©NCSX» When Captain Blue starts work on a new film, the available talent pool is overwhelming. To help the wizened movie producer make the right choice for lead actor, a casting call goes out which pits a motley assortment of spandex wearing misfits against each other on multi-tiered movie sets.
 
   The action runs hot when up to four players battle it out in in fast moving and chaotic bouts. The speed may lead to instances of confusion where one can't discern the whereabouts of an onscreen hero when he's con mingled with everything else that's happening on screen. Along with the heroes, there are coins that sprinkle around, hamburgers, flying creatures, and explosive effects galore. That's show business.
 
   The aspiring action heroes fight on tiered arenas where there's the ground and then platforms that loft them higher for multi-height fighting. Jump up to the second tier and them jump down on a lower level enemy. On some levels, objects and machines will enter the picture for added diversion.
 
The cast includes:
Aquatic Terror Gran Bruce
Blade Master Alastor
Captain Blue
Captain Blue Junior
Dark Emperor Black
Dark Fiend Charles the 3rd
Iron Ogre Hulk Davidson
Coordinator Sprocket
Sexy Sylvia
Viewtiful Joe
 
Viewtiful Effects:
    When an opponent is smacked, coins are dropped which are then gathered and accumulated to activate special Viewtiful powers. To trigger them, hit the L or R trigger for mach speed, slow motion, and zoom. Slow motion waxes everything to an oozing crawl for a few seconds before regaining normal speed and time. With Mach Speed, time fast-forwards for a more frenetic fighting experience. Zoom - camera focuses in on an enlarged character who then proceeds to whup ass on normal sized foes. The fourth effect is abbreviated S.E. for Sound Effect which is a powerful distance attack.

   Battles take place on simple sets, tall buildings, a western shanty prop, a falling assemblage of steel girders, in a cavern with stalagmites, or on a hell bent rickety red biplane where the characters duke it out atop the airborne vehicle while it flies through dizzying scenery. 

Region Lock-out
   Please note Japanese Gamecube games will not boot on USA or European Gamecube consoles due to the inherent region lockout on Gamecube game discs.
