Rumor: Bandai Namco co-developer of Smash for Switch

Yeah, I think 2 years is more than enough time to build a full sequel on the foundation of Smash 4.
Saying you were working on one of the most basic elements in game dev (the rendering engine) at a job you're no longer at isn't something you get fired over. Probably a slap on the wrist and getting this shit wiped but still.
They are presumably using the same game engine they built to make Smash for Wii U.
Smash switch rendering is based off the substitution doll tech. It's very advanced
(While it's nice to see Nintendo devs speaking up, it usually turns out that they shouldn't have or that they're just pretending to be Nintendo devs, lol)

Ah ok then add me to the not new engine camp. Looks like its totally a new game but on the same engine which makes a lot of sense.
I really hope that he didn't lose his job over the tweet but it was pretty obvious from the beginning that Namco-Bandai is working on the game. It's nice to have a confirmation to know when certain stage of production ended so we could get the idea when they actually works on the game. I think I was so close with the schedule prediction.
That's also very likely. Hope they add more visual effects to the game compared to 4. It was surprisingly not as dynamic as I expected, but that was due to targeting 1080p

how
This is what I am expecting too. Two years seems like more than enough time to build a fully-featured sequel, given how solid the foundation laid by Smash Wii U is.
I'm not sure how "dynamic" you expected it to be and why you thought it not being was a limitation of the engine or system
Splatoon 2 was largely rebuilt from scratch though
just checked the Mario Odyssey credits to be sure, and he's certainly listed!
whether or not that was actually him we'll never know, i guess.
Quick! Somone check Smash for Wii U

Wow, are you serious that there's a brazilian working on Nintendo? This guy must be so happy and as a brazilian I couldn't be more happy to see a brazilian in there.
Not surprising. Didn't someone on this forum say Smash 5 was being built on the Smash 4 engine? Namco did help develop that, so combining the studio that made Smash 4 with the same engine (different rendering tools though?) would make for a quicker turnaround.
Why wouldn't they be? Bandai Namco were co-developers on Smash Bros. for Wii U, and that game was fantastic. I hope the Switch iteration don't completely throw it out as a foundation -- struck a great balance between Smash's competitive and casual sides.
God, I hope this guy doesn't lose his job because of this.
Still, interesting news. Saw them coming really considering BN's relationship with Nintendo, hope this means some characters like Kos-Mos are in the game.

We've known this since like 2014 when they started hiring for Smash 6, which is the Switch game yeah?
I am mad at myself for not having seen this before. This is amazing.Smash switch rendering is based off the substitution doll tech. It's very advanced

Dat memoryman cameo though.
If he only has been at Bandai since 2014 then the rendering engine can't be the same as the one for Smash Wii U.Here's what comes up from his Linkedin
Japanese game development companies are generally quite positive on hiring foreigners as long as they speak Japanese and live in Japan.
You're conflating two statements of differing topics. And it definitely was a limitation of the system since they decided to target 1080p. On the Switch they can have both
And by dynamic, I mean more dynamic environmental lights affecting the characters. It can be done without affecting readability, I think. Also, the usage of states from older games without modernized touch ups stood out like a sore thumb, so i hope they change that up for this game
Probabrly just got scolded.
Didn't really reveal anything "major". Tho I'm sure he's gonna be more careful now. He was just proud of his work

Oh, I know that. It's just that I don't remember to see a brazilian working in Japan for video game companies
Bandai Namco co-developed Smash 4 and 5 too so
They need them on board for Goku anyway
