NCS Synopsis
   Capcom adapts the Viewtiful Joe shenanigans for use on the stylus strapped Nintendo DS. As the story goes, a bunch of malcontents steal Captain Blue's new movie and it's up to Joe to get into costume and retrieve it. In addition to the bad guys, Joe has a pseudo nemesis in his little squabbling sister Jasmine, who has her sights on becoming a movie queen. Stages in the game are modeled after movie studio sets such as the Super Coaster, Restaurant Volcano, and Action Stadium.

   Joe wields a new VFX power called "Split" or "V-Camera" which allows the player to edit the scene or splice the film to give Joe a helping hand. Split opportunities are clearly indicated on a level by purple letters which spell "Split." VFX Slow, V-Dodge, and Scratch are also available powers. Scratch allows the world to be shaken to drop items on foes - when Scratch is in effect, Joe throws his head back, points his toes downward, and raises both arms up to the sky. Whenever Joe is on screen, his cape waves as if gale force winds were blowing.
