I have a lot of fond memories of playing superhero games, starting with titles like X2: Wolverine’s Revenge and the Spider-Man game released in 2000. More recently, games such as the Batman Arkham series, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Injustice: Gods Among Us, and the upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine have really pushed the superhero genre forward. The last few years have been amazing for comic book-based games, but one game from 2003 still stands out to me. What makes it special is that it isn’t based on Marvel, DC, or any of the major comic publishers. It’s actually a Capcom game, and it was one of the first times I truly felt like a superhero: Viewtiful Joe.
