Rumor: Nintendo software engineer indicates Bandai Namco working on Smash Bros. Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Tiago Sonobe worked at Bandai Namco between April 2014 and August 2016 as a software engineer and graphics programmer. That same month, he moved over to Nintendo – also as a software engineer.
Sonobe’s work history is notable due to an apparent tweet which has now been deleted (and his account as well). In his message, Sonobe mentions that he left Bandai Namco before the production on Smash Bros. Switch started. However, he further says he created the rendering engine it’s built on.
