Viewtiful Joe is a super hero with all the confidence, punch and style of a million-dollar action-hero caught in the world of a Hollywood movie. Joe also has the finesse to perform special techniques to slow down or speed up the in-game action. Using his super ‘Slow-mo’ power, Joe instantaneously slows down the action to inflict damage reminiscent of today’s popular action movies. For those who feel the need for speed, Joe can execute his super ‘Mach Speed’ attack, his fists and feet of fury destroy enemies in the twinkling of an eye. The combination of a true comic book look, mixed with the challenge of editing action moves on the fly, set Viewtiful Joe apart from all other games on the market.

A month has passed since the evil WWW organisation attempted to commandeer a military satellite and now cyberspace is about to encounter another menace, the devastating Zero Virus. It is up to Lan and Mega Man to defeat this latest threat, battle bosses and solve problems in the virtual realm. Players will need to communicate with Lan, Mega Man and other characters to gain information that holds vital hints to overcoming various in-game predicaments.
Mega Man Network Transmission uses the popular chip system introduced in the original Battle Network RPG. By collecting chips, players can equip Mega Man with special weapons and support items that enhance his abilities. For example one chip will improve Mega Man’s jumping skills, while another creates a protective shield to deflect enemy attacks.
