Harada on the involvement of Namco Bandai’s Tekken team on Smash Bros.

Namco Bandai’s Tekken team won’t be directly involved with the development of the next Smash Bros. titles.

Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada told Kotaku that “Sakurai is directing.” Therefore it’s ultimately Sakurai’s project. Harada won’t be telling Sakurai which characters to include or how the gameplay should be.

According to Harada:

“We’ll be providing our expertise when asked, but it’s not like we’ll (the Tekken Team) be making the game.”

While the Tekken staff won’t be making the Smash Bros. games directly, it’s possible that members from the team or those who have experience with Tekken could work on the project.
