When a games publisher registers a domain name that rightfully belongs to a videogame title, the implication is fairly obvious. So when Capcom registered the URL www.ViewtifulJoe3.com, keen-nosed investigative journalists would probably be right to declare that a Viewtiful Joe 3 game is on the cards. In which case we would like to make that same announcement– Viewtiful Joe 3 is probably on the cards.

Capcom hasn’t actually confirmed the existence of this third part in the excellent Viewtiful Joe series, but given the quality and success of the first two VJ titles, it does seem entirely feasible. Also, the fact that Capcom hasn’t yet reserved domains with incrementally higher numerical suffixes would suggest that this isn’t just a vacant exercise to deny anyone else from grabbing the name.

As soon as we get the official word from Capcom, read it here first.
