This one will probably be good on both handhelds. PSP will have some better graphics, but its refresh rate might make it not look quite as smooth.

I'm just glad that developers are indeed taking advantage of the DS touch screen by making two different games. Hopefully more developers will take that trend so the DS has software that boasts the touchiness.

I'm forward to both games. Fighting with Viewtiful Joe style attacks will be simply awesome. And the 'Touch Components' for the DS title will be fun and ingeniously innovative.

In a recent publication of Famitsu Magazine, Capcom's Atsushi Inaba let loose some details about the company's upcoming Viewtiful Joe title for the Nintendo DS. Tentatively titled as Scratch! Viewtiful Joe, the game looks to be an extension of the current console series. Scratch! Viewtiful Joe, however, will incorporate touch-screen abilities; for instance, dragging your finger across the screen enables the "Split VFX," which can slice an object in half.

Players once again assume the role of Viewtiful Joe as he tries to take back a stolen film that his mentor, Captain Blue, was producing. Scratch! Viewtiful Joe also features a new character: Jasmine--Joe's younger sister (and aspiring actress) will make her first appearance in the series.
Apparently you scratch different indicated areas on the screen, and Joe will fighting accordingly.

:hmm: ok, a pointless feature just trying to force touch screen onto a game. thankfully its an option tho, and i can still press buttons. :)

Yeah, I'm also more looking forward to the DS version over the PSP/Cube versions because I prefer side scrolling platformer over a fighting game.

hope not. i want my side scroller to use buttons, like it always has. why would i want to take my fingers off the buttons to use a touch screen? As i've been saying theres some games that could take quite an advantage of a touch screen, theres others tho it just seems like they're forcing it onto the game just to promote the system. that i dont like.

Ah there is more than just this....

"One of the touch-screen moves is called the "split VFX," which divides the screen into two halves. This is accomplished when players pass their finger horizontally across the screen. The move causes objects on the screen to get "sliced" and become horizontally displaced. For example, players can use the split VFX to slice a large billboard on the screen, and then drop it on top of an enemy half a screen away.

The bottom screen will be used for playing the game, while the upper screen zooms in on areas of the game where users are recommended to use the touch-sensitive capabilities. At other times, the upper screen appears to zoom in on Joe. "

I guess it's not just about the touch screen abilities, but having the additional screen changes the experience somewhat.

I'll wait and see how the touch screen works with the game. Maybe some mini games would be cool 2
