During Capcom's fiscal year 2004, "Viewtiful Joe 2" sold 270,000 copies in North America and 80,000 copies in Japan. The game sold poorly in United Kingdom, failing to enter the 40 top-selling games during its week of release in the region. Although the ending for "Viewtiful Joe 2" suggests an immediate continuation to the plot of the series, a "Viewtiful Joe 3" has not been produced. Two spin-off games (' and ') were released in 2005. Clover Studio was dissolved in 2007 and all its intellectual properties defaulted to Capcom. Many of Clover's key members including Inaba and Kamiya formed the third-party developer PlatinumGames that same year. Capcom has stated that they have no plans to continue with the "Viewtiful Joe" series. Kamiya has expressed interest in finishing the story of the series, however unlikely that may be.
