Viewtiful Joe

Viewtiful Joe is a 2003 side-scrolling beat 'em up platform video game developed by Team Viewtiful and published by Capcom for the GameCube. It was originally released as part of the Capcom Five for the GameCube under director Hideki Kamiya and producer Atsushi Inaba. It was ported to the PlayStation 2 by the same design team under the name Clover Studio, subtitled in Japan Aratanaru Kibō (Japanese: 新たなる希望; lit. "A New Hope"). The story concerns Joe, an avid movie-goer whose girlfriend Silvia is kidnapped during a film starring Joe's favorite superhero, Captain Blue. Joe is shortly thereafter thrust into Movieland, where Silvia is taken by the villainous group known as Jadow.
