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.

One of my latest avatar frames. This one was mostly inspired by Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II.
Haven't played anything else quite like that game. Would be awesome if someone came along and made a spiritual successor.

Another behind-the-scenes gif from Blender, this time of my Companion Hues avatar frame. It's actually a twisted cube mesh following a circle curve.

Wooooowwww! This is amazing, and an absolute steal at $10! 
Y'all have no idea how much this game inspired me back in the day. It's a must-play for classic RPG fans, in my opinion. Awesome character design, music, worldbuilding, etc.
Kikkerstein had a great day 1 at LVL UP EXPO!
