Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Who is making Super Smash Bros. 3DS and WiiU??

I always here people talk about how Bandai Namco are helping out with development on these titles but who are they helping. I always thought it was just Sora Ltd. and Namco Bandai and Nintendo had no real involvement. Its even listed on the wiki that its developed by Sora Ltd. and Bandai Namco, I wouldnt exactly say they are helping Sora Ltd. with development as they make up over 99% of the staff.

Also who the hell at Bandai Namco is helping out?? Do we know specific dev teams or something, the wiki just says Bandai Namco Games.

Sora Ltd. just means Sakurai and his wife.

Short version, Sakurai, a freelance game designer, is directing a Bamco team. I don't think any Nintendo employees are involved, but I may be mistaken.



They are helping Sakurai?



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

Sakurai who has directed all of the Smash games is directing this one. Namco Bandai's employees are working under him.



What everyone else had said. I'll just post a picture of him!

Dat long hair.

As others have stated, Sora is basically Sakurai, with one or two people beside him.

As for who are the developers from Namco's side, here's what we know:

yeah, in the direct he actually said that he goes every day to the Namco Bandai to work on Smash Bros, so i guess Namco Bandai isn't really "helping" but developing it



OK so it is just Bamco developing it then with Sakurai leading the team.
Also guys I know who Sora Ltd. is, which is just Sakurai. Guys so awesome he needs his own company

Sora is like Comcept. Companies like these are very common among indies but also with well known developers as well. They are usually made of of 1-2 people. Then they contract others developers for a specific game and contract them usually for that title only.
