Katsuhiro Harada says Masamichi Abe is “working on some Nintendo original title”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
I wouldn’t make too big a deal out of this yet as the tweet is unclear, but Namco Bandai’s Katsuhiro Harada has said on Twitter that Masamichi Abe is “working on some Nintendo original title”.
The short message is as follows:
He is in Nintendo Kyoto now. working on some Nintendo original title RT@2Andrin what happened to Masamichi Abe? Is he retired?
— Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) November 26, 2013
Since Harada’s tweet is vague – especially the mention of “some Nintendo original title – it’s not worth making a big deal out of just yet.
Masamichi Abe started out at Namco, but eventually moved on to Nintendo. He’s worked on the Pikmin series, Metroid Prime: Hunters, and more.
