However, today that changes. The Japanese games company has sent out a press release, indicating what the company plans to do with their “biggest presence at Comic-Con ever.”

Gameplay previews aren’t the only thing on hand for Nintendo at SDCC 2014. Fans ofBayonettathat have an attendance badge will also be able to watch a screening of a new animated film about the character action game heroine, calledBayonetta: Bloody Fate. It will screen on Friday July 25th local time in Marriott Hall Room 4.
Honestly, it’s quite refreshing to see how Nintendo has been tackling conventions lately. Tournaments, gameplay challenges, film screenings, Indie showcases; it’s a stark turnaround from not quite understanding or appreciating the fan-focused appeal that they could bring. Plus, any chance to playSmashin any form early is a great chance to take up.
