Bandai Namco job listings point to potential remaster of a Nintendo 3D action game

bandai_namco_logo_2.0.jpg

Based on some job listings on Bandai Namco's Japanese website, it looks like they may be working on remastering a 3D action game from Nintendo. Posted on resetera by user snikdasnek, there are three recent job listings on their website that point to the potential collaboration. One listing is for a planner, requiring experience with action game level design, working on a 3D action game from Nintendo. The other two positions are for visual artists, one of which needs to "perform HD remastering of the 3D background" (according to Google Translate), while both of them need to be able to port existing material to Bandai Namco's in-house game engine and create 3D backgrounds for a 3D action game.

While we can only speculate on what the game might be, many commentors seem to believe it could be a new Star Fox game, as the series has been dormant for some time and Namco has experience with the series, having developed Star Fox: Assault for the GameCube in 2005.

Crap like Tales of Arise, Scarlet Nexus or Elden Ring? Yeah, what a load of crap... smh
This was my own opinion so no need to “smh” at me
I’m sure there all wonderful games and not crap but I have a family to raise! I don’t have the luxury of playing for 50 minutes nevermind 50 hours plus!
Namco we’re always known for fast exciting arcade type games what would be ideal for me in my situation!
I have a series x and I play ridge racer 6 I still play tekken etc and retroarch games..
I prefer quicker arcade type games!

That's what MAME is for. Literally hundreds of gems that are perfect for a quick blast.

Missed this article... Star Fox is coming back? That would be great, since the last appearance of Star Fox was in StarLink: Battle for Atlas for the Nintendo Switch (which bombed, but I like it!), and the last game with him as a central character was Star Fox Zero (which was posthumously released under the direction of Satoru Iwata... RIP). I wonder what's next?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
