BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
The big Con isn’t too far off now, and Bandai Namco is getting what looks to be an impressive footprint setup, with a series of booths and panels.
*Godzilla roar
If you’re a big fan of the King of the Monsters, then you probably already know that it’s Godzilla’s 70th anniversary year. The big beast originally debuted in Japanese cinemas back in 1954 with is landmark first appearance, and has been going strong ever since.
To celebrate, Bandai Namco is about to bring the big beast to the biggest Con on the calendar. Naturally, we’re talking about this year’s SDCC, which will play host to a bevy of Godzilla goodies and happenings, courtesy of the toy and game giant.
But that’s just the half of what’s planned by Bandai Namco, because as you can see above, there’s another big birthday to cheer. That would be Mobile Suit Gundam Wing‘s, as the high-tech, sci-fi anime turns three decades old this year, so you can expect to see a fair shake there as well, with both a terrific-sounding booth experience, and a panel to check out.
Add in a panel and shared booth (with Godzilla) for Tamagotchi, and Tamashii Nations’ presence, and you’ve got quite a con for the company.
Bandai Namco’s booths on the show floor:
- Tamashii Nations | Booth #3329
