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

​
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.

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!

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?

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep

    i said i was sleeping...

    sleeping with uremum

    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
