Bandai Namco remastering a 3D action game for Nintendo

A post on the ResetEra reveals that Bandai Namco studios are taking applications for several new job listings, and those listings are for a project being contracted by Nintendo. One job listing is for a planner of a 3D game and another listing is asking for a visual artist. There’s another listing clarifying that the game is for a remake or remaster, suggesting that Nintendo is looking to re-release one of its older games on the Nintendo Switch.

Not much information is revealed about what the remake/remaster could be, other than it is an action game. Several commentators on ResetEra have suggested that the remake/remaster could be for Kid Icarus Uprising for the Nintendo Switch. Uprising was originally a Nintendo 3DS game starring Pit. It is known for being directed by Smash Bros’ Masahiro Sakurai, where it eventually gained a cult following. However, there is no real hint or leak on what the Bandai remake/remaster could be, that is purely speculative.

Job listings also don’t necessarily mean that a game will be coming out or announced soon. Big gaming companies are often on the lookout for a new set of talent for multiple games in various stages of development. These recent job listings from Bandai could either be for a game that is almost ready to release, or for a game that is still very early in the development cycle. The game may never even release depending on the development.
