All indicators level to polygons
The web is all aflutter this morning after customers on Resetera noticed Bandai Namco recruiting employees to develop what seems to be a HD remaster of an unnamed Nintendo traditional.
The excitement took place following an replace to the recruitment web page of Bandai Namco’s Japanese web site, which is presently providing up a emptiness for a “3D motion sport designer”. In keeping with the job itemizing, the chosen candidate can be liable for planning and growing a undertaking that has been “commissioned by Nintendo”. Further roles marketed embrace a “3D background artist” and, most tellingly of all, a task that entails the importing and HD remastering of pre-existing 3D visuals.
So it appears, fairly clearly, that Nintendo has commissioned Bandai Namco to develop a title constructed of one of many firm’s many 3D polygonal hits, for instance, the multitude of titles that arrived on the N64 platform within the late-90s. One may surprise why Nintendo would farm out the position to a different developer, however the two studios have loved a wholesome relationship for a few years, most lately coming collectively for work on titles comparable to Tremendous Smash Bros. Final, Pokken Match, New Pokemon Snap, and ARMS.
For now, that is all a wholesome dose of rumour, nevertheless it appears a comfortable match that we are able to count on a remaster announcement from The Large N within the close to future. What title would you wish to see overhauled for contemporary platforms? It’ll in all probability be a first-party affair, so we are able to sadly rule out Fighter’s Future.
