In Red Hot Rumble, production on the newest Captain Blue movie is just about to begin. Unfortunately he can’t seem to decide on the lead character. It’s up to gamers to be the star of the show and ‘audition’ for the leading role in this big action extravaganza. Viewtiful Joe, a celluloid super hero with all the attitude and style of an action star, returns along with a cast of new and familiar playable characters in this intense versus-fighting game. With completely new movie set designs, including several Johnny Rockets backdrops and a four player head-to-head battle mode, there will be an exuberant amount of action that extends beyond the silver screen when the game is released on November 8.

Every super hero needs to refuel, and Johnny Rockets is providing Viewtiful Joe and hamburger lovers a chance to treat their taste buds to a Bacon Cheddar Hamburger (Single or Double), a massive, mouth-watering creation available for a limited time at participating Johnny Rockets locations. The Bacon Cheddar hamburger is the ultimate addition to Johnny Rockets’ menu of favorites, which includes hand-pressed hamburgers grilled to perfection, creamy shakes and fresh American fries. The Bacon Cheddar hamburger has the premium beef and special ingredients for which Johnny Rockets is famous, including a beef patty topped with a slice of cheddar cheese, two slices of bacon, tomato, white onion, lettuce and Johnny Rockets’ special sauce on a fresh bun. “We’re thrilled that Johnny Rockets is featured in the new Viewtiful Joe game,” said Mimi Somerman, senior vice president, marketing, The Johnny Rockets Group, Inc. “The Bacon Cheddar Challenge promotion will allow families and kids to fill up on the tasty treats Johnny Rockets offers while they experience Viewtiful Joe’s latest adventure.” The Bacon Cheddar Challenge begins October 24 and ends December 31, 2005.
