Mario Kart Tour, for as much as we know was made by Nintendo and DeNA but we learned that there was another company that assisted in developing in Bandai Namco.
This was discovered through the official Bandai Namco website.
For the smart device game Mario Kart Tour, launched by Nintendo on September 25, 2019, we partially implemented local and visual 3D assets for tracks, characters and machines. We also take care of producing approximately half of the bonus challenges.
Good relation
The relationship Nintendo has with Bandai Namco seems to be pretty greta, as they where also involved with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as well. But it goes way back.
Nintendo tried to buy Bandai at around 2003. It was also rumored that this is what prompted the Bandai Namco merger and the eventual buy-out of Monolith by Nintendo, but that has never been made clear.
Believe it or not, they also had a hand in Mario Kart 8 as shown in the credits to name just one title.
What could this well working relationship bring in the future?
