Bandai Namco worked on Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS, which was a surprise to quite a few people when the news came out. Now we're hearing rumors that Nintendo has asked Bandai Namco back to co-develop Smash Bros. on Switch.

This rumor comes from the Twitter profile of Tiago Sonobe, a developer who claims to have worked at Bandai Namco. They went so far to share their involvement in Smash Bros. Switch, saying they worked on the rendering engine for the game. Sonobe currently claims to work at Nintendo as a software engineer.
When fans caught on to his tweet and started asking about Bandai Namco's involvement in Smash Bros. Switch, Sonobe deleted his entire Twitter feed. Either he shared some info he shouldn't have, or he's just trying to get everyone riled up. Which do you think it is" I'm inclined to believe the guy. Why bother making up a rumor about Bandai Namco being involved when they already have a history with the series" It's not like it would be a big shocker.
