Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble! is a cel-shaded, side-scrolling action platformer developed by Clover Studio and released for the Nintendo DS in 2005. Players control Joe, a movie action hero thrust into real combat scenarios, working through stages that blend beat-'em-up combat with puzzle-solving. The game makes deliberate use of the DS hardware, incorporating both screens and the system's touch capabilities to present puzzles and advance the action. The title also introduces Jasmine, Joe's sister, making her first appearance in the series as a supporting character. The dual-screen design is central to the experience rather than incidental, with players interacting directly with the touchscreen to navigate challenges alongside the standard side-scrolling and combat sequences the series is known for.
