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.
