Henshin a no-no baby :(
Feels like it's running at 0.75x speed, then gets extra crunchy when there's more than two guys. Has a translucent circle in the middle of the screen at all times, to simulate looking through a lens, and it's just distracting. Of the few stages I played, it felt so easy that there was zero reason to use slo-mo or even dodge. Big nothing.
It's a real shame, because I bet they could have made a banger of a VJ on the 3DS.

Clover did their best to convert Joe to the DS, but hardware limitations held this game allllll the way back from realizing its potential.
Slow VFX looks and feels like ass, Fast Forward VFX is replaced by a mechanic where the player scribbles on the DS screen to make random shit fall onto enemies and it's really lame.
It feels like a Viewtiful Joe game, and the presentation is still great but man what a tragedy Clover was never able to improve upon their handheld outings.

It's nice to see a new proper Viewtiful Joe story after the disaster that was Red Hot Rumble. However, even with the new abilities and interesting puzzles, this game falls short otherwise. Poor animations, poor performance and controls that just don't function as they should. Skip this one too.
