Some recent Nintendo news I find interesting (in the article ):


  • Bandai Namco announced a new dev studio (Bandai Namco Studio 2 & Studio S) for commissioned projects. Notably, this particular portion of Bandai Namco staff have mostly been involved with development of numerous major Nintendo titles, including the Super Smash Bros. franchise, Mario Kart 8, ARMS, and many more.

  • Coinciding with the above news, Bandai Namco Studio 2 & Studio S seem to be the team working on a remaster/remake of a 3D action game for Nintendo that was revealed early last year by a job listing calling for someone experienced with HD remastering of 3D backgrounds. Another job listing for the studio mentions "construction of stage specifications," "level designs," and "side-view action games" also commissioned by Nintendo, but it's unknown as to whether this is related to the same exact project.

  • At the very end of a video released yesterday by the creator of the Super Smash Bros. games—most recently Super Smash Bros. Ultimate—(and more), Masahiro Sakurai, it was confirmed that he is "still creating games." It is currently unknown what role he is taking this time around. Sakurai has famously sacrificed his own health on many past occasions for the sake of meticulous direct involvement in each of his game's development cycles, so hopefully this pattern is not being repeated yet again. Remember, y'all, rest when you need to.

Hope everyone is well and staying warm—it's been very cold where I am, so I'm bundling up and staying close to the woodstove.

Lots of love, and wishing you all a good week!

I made this salad for MumBlargh, and she wants me to share it with you all.

Hmm... That's a lot of mouths to feed. I might have to make a bigger salad, huh.

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well today.

Here's the finished illustration I made for my friend who had the stroke recently. She's doing great, by the way—recovering well and making good progress with physical therapy.

Unfortunately, I had to rush this one at the last minute, but a customer already bought a swatch, so I guess I didn't do too badly! LOL
