From the announcement:

In Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble, production on the latest Captain Blue movie is just about to begin. Unfortunately he can’t seem to decide on the lead character. Now it’s up to gamers to be the star of the show and ‘audition’ to see who will take the leading role in this big action extravaganza.

With completely new movie set designs and a four player head-to-head battle mode, there will be an exuberant amount of action that extends beyond the silver screen.

+ New ‘versus’ gameplay for the Viewtiful Joe universe — The gloves come off during the ‘audition’ as players participate in intense versus fighting action.

+ All-star cast of playable characters — Reacquaint yourself with familiar faces or discover new and original characters from the Kids’ WB!’s television series, Silvia, Alastor, Sprocket, an ice princess that intimidates people with her cold stares, and Captain Blue Junior.

Different modes of play:

+ Story Mode — A single player mode where gamers face off against the AI-controlled characters and advance through the story
