New Viewtiful Joe (mini) game (in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom)

First off, there is a new video of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes at Famitsu, featuring Saki from Quiz Nanairo DREAMS and Viewtiful Joe vs. Ippatsuman and Doronjo. Joe's Mach Speed super combo is expected, but delightful.In addition, screens reveal another set of character-specific minigames. For free extras included in our cool fighting game, they all look pretty excellent -- and there are now more minigames in Tatsunoko than in many dedicated minigame collections.
Saki has an enjoyable-looking asteroid shooting gallery game, Ippatsuman has a baseball pitching game, and Doronjo has some kind of bomb-throwing platformer in which her and her goons Boyacky and Tonzler ride through a valley on unicycles.
Viewtiful Joe's minigame is the standout of the group: a sort of "shooting" game in which you attempt to snap photographs of a running Joe, with the ability to take three photos in rapid succession.

A fighting game WITH fun-sounding minigames?
... I may consider importing.

I SOO want this game. Wonder how hard it would be to navigate the menus without knowing any Japanese.

Trial and error could resolve that in about 5 minutes, but a basic knowledge of kana (or even just a printed out kana sheet) could resolve it faster

My interest definitely just jumped up by quite a bit, considering my main gripe with fighters (beyond their overly combo-heavy system) is their often crippling lack of features and playmodes
This seems to resolve both of those

When is this coming out in the USA?
Thanatos @ Nov 12th 2008 3:56PM
Most likely never sadly.

Now I feel sad.
