Viewtiful Joe has been nominated for three BAFTA Game Awards. The game by Capcom has been nominated for 'Best Design', 'Best Intro/Animation', and 'Best GameCube Game'.

"We're immensely proud to have been nominated for three BAFTA Games Awards," said Ben Le Rougetel, senior PR manager at Capcom Entertainment Europe. "Ever since it was announced, Viewtiful Joe has stood out as a quality title, offering something completely different from the me-too games so often forced on the public. We're grateful to BAFTA and its panel of judges for considering Viewtiful Joe as examples of the best in design and animation. It's good to have our opinions--and those of the public--validated by such an esteemed group of individuals."

The winners will be announced at the annual BAFTA awards ceremony in February 2004.
