Excelent news! there are tons of benefits of having someone like Namco Bandai helping with this project :D
1) Expertise in making HD games (something Nintendo doesnt have... yet),this is reassuring for me because now I know they will make a beatiful game AND the will bring it more quickly!
2) A lot of knowledge from this developers, masters in the genre, with their own fighting games (Tekken and Soul Calibur)
3) An oportunity to have a competent online part of the game, they have already released figthing games in the HD twins with great online modes, and I am expecting that here.
4) A breath of fresh air, its the 4th installment in the series, so having someone like them helping with the project could lead to new and exciting things
5) Namco characters! Specially the one I am looking for is Pacman :), nut we could have someone from the Tales of series or one of their fighters :D!
:D
