Forget Marvel, Capcom’s Award-Winning Action Game Made Me Feel Like A Superhero in 2003

Some of my earliest superhero gaming memories are with X2: Wolverine’s Revenge and the Spider-Man game from 2000. Since then, games like the Batman Arkham series, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Injustice: Gods Among Us, and next year’s Marvel’s Wolverine have continued to take the superhero genre to the next level. The past few years have truly been a golden age for comic book-based games, but there is still one 2003 offering that holds a special place in my heart. It doesn’t even come from Marvel, DC, or even other comic publishers, like Image or Dark Horse. Instead, this game comes from Capcom, and it’s one of the first times I truly felt like a superhero: Viewtiful Joe.
