Will we see Viewtiful Joe 3?

[Spatial]

The DS version just felt `wrong` to me. Couldn't quite put my finger on why but I think Ouenben is near the mark - it felt like it was low on action and high in puzzles. Also it just didn't fit with what I was expecting and felt hampered by the DS touch control (not often that happens).

I got the feeling that Red Hot Rumble would have been truer to the series but I never got around to picking that up (that said I've got a hankering for some Henshin-a-go-go after reading this thread and it can be picked up for next to nothing now...)

I don't usually take part in Re: play appreciate threads but VJ might just be the game to change that

As for the second game, if you liked the first there isn't much to fall out with. But 2 is worth buying for the brilliant 36 Chambers of Heroness mode alone. It's a real test of absolute VJ skill

And as a shameless plug, NTSC-uk has a review up of 1,2 and the DS game up if you want some opinion on them

Am I right in thinking that Clover didn't actually develop the first (they did the PS2 port), and only did the second? Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Erm, the same team that developed the first were transfered over to Clover Studio when it was first formed.

But the majority of Clover are still with Capcom anyway aren't they?

According to 1up's interview with Keiji Inafune, that is indeed the case. Apparently, most of them are working on Resident Evil 5.

Ah, fair enough, I stand corrected.
