I don't have ARMS yet, but apparently someone stated that it's on the credits. I wonder what they mean by that? Bamco helped out in coding? Gave fighter ideas?

This is pretty interesting. Also it's pretty hilarious that the current first party fighting games Nintendo is offering right now has Bamco in it.

 

[RRockman]

Wouldn't be the first time I guess.

They helped with Smash 4 also

 

[Lelou]

Maybe we could potentially see crossover characters on dlc?
I don't think it's the case..

 

[Boss Doggie]

They helped with Smash 4 also

that's what I mean, Smash 4, Pokken and now this

 

[Vanpira]

Mario Kart 8 says the same thing.

 

[ggx2ac]

Namco Bandai could have helped with Netcode?

They helped regarding Mario Kart 8 and Wii Sports Club if I remember correctly.

 

[RRockman]

I forgot all about pokken! Nintendo should steal Bamco's talent and make a new first party studio.

 

[Jubenhimer]

Bamco probably provided some extra advice, or resources during the games development. Their role in ARMS isn't really the same as their role in Smash or Pokken Tournament, since all the design, programming, and creative direction were done in-house at Nintendo.

Ooh interesting.

Their (non-Nintendo) games have been good in netcode from my experience.

 

[Oregano]

Luffy confirmed.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Maybe helping them with a fighting game is a way for them to make Dragonball Fighter Z run on the Switch eh?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Must be all the button mashing in Tekken that lead to this game's creation.

 

[@MUWANdo]

They usually credit BNIE upfront when they're the ones actually doing the work, so it's probably nothing major.

 

[daffy]

Namco Bandai has been sonning Nintendo's multiplayer offerings for quite some time now

You didnt think they actually knew what they were doing did you

 

[silva1991]

Luffy confirmed.

He would be perfect for this game.

Pretty sure it's this.

Bandai Namco's new motto: "We make everything."

Metroid Prime 4

 

[JusDoIt]

Need Steve Fox in ARMS.

Didn't they already do this with Monolit?

 

[Brainfreeze]

I feel like all Bandai Namco does anymore is Anime and Fighting games, and occasionally Anime Fighting games.

I'm glad to see the collaboration though, as it seems to have produced nothing but good results so far. Namco has to be Nintendo's most consistent partner right now; I'm actually surprised that Namco isn't making any real Switch exclusives themselves right now (that Ic can remember), like Koei Tecmo or Ubisoft.

 

[_Clash_]

Namco have pretty good online code

Probably something to do with that is my tip

 

[anaron]

Xenosaga ep.4 for switch next pls

Sakurai and his studio are not part of Nintendo.

Special thanks denotes technical rather than creative assistance.
Similar to how Monolith Soft were involved in Animal Crossing, Zelda: BotW, Pikmin 3 and Splatoon

 

[Parakeetman]

ARMS is a reskinned Gundam vs. confirmed! (°Д°)

well this is news to me

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

Nintendo uses graphic assistants in a few of their games. That's why monolith soft and Namco Bandai have special thanks nods on a few games.

Namco and monolith Soft also do the same on their games. So do every Japanese developer from Capcom to Platinum to Square. HD art requires additional support across the board.

 

[BocoDragon]

Obviously this means you can unlock Heihachi.

Speaking of which I can't wait for it to arrive in the west. This freaking year is amazing for gaming.
