Bandai Namco Hiring Again for Mystery Nintendo Switch Game

Earlier this year, job listings from Bandai Namco leaked online for an unannounced first-party Nintendo Switch game. It seems the publisher is now looking to bring in more talent for the project, as the company's Japanese website has been updated with more positions available. From everything revealed thus far, it seems that the game in question is a remaster/remake of an existing title. Bandai Namco is also looking for developers with experience in"the HD remastering of 3D backgrounds.

So far, a good deal of the speculation surrounding this game has centered on Kid Icarus: Uprising. The 2012 Nintendo 3DS game received strong reviews, and was directed by Masahiro Sakurai, best known for his work on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Last November, Sakurai even noted that he'd love to see the game ported to a home console. While the director considers himself"semi-retired" at the moment, it's worth noting that Bandai Namco Studios developed Super Smash Bros.

So far, Nintendo has announced a handful of first-party games for Switch this year, including Fire Emblem Engage, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. That's a pretty decent schedule for the first half of the year, but there has been no information on what to expect in the second half.

Do you think Kid Icarus: Uprising is coming to Nintendo Switch? What are you hoping to see on the system in 2023? Let us know in the comments or share your thoughts directly on Twitter and on Hive at @Marcdachamp to talk all things gaming!

GOP's McCarthy Rejected for House Speaker — Again and AgainHouse Republicans plowed through the second day of the new Congress, with no clear off-ramp from their political chaos over electing leader Kevin McCarthy as the new speaker. They said they would be back at it Wednesday night but gave up instead amid a shouting, crowded vote to adjourn. After lengthy closed-door meetings with conservative holdouts, McCarthy said more voting would not be productive though he also said his meetings with holdouts showed progress. He failed anew to win the House speakership in three votes during the day, faring no better than he had in the same number of votes on Tuesday when 20 of the chamber’s Republicans stayed opposed.
