The studio to be renamed Nintendo Studios Singapore
Nintendo has acquired Bandai Namco Singapore, renaming the studio to Nintendo Studios Singapore.
The deal will see Nintendo take control of 80% of the studio’s shares from 1 April 2026. The remaining shares will then “be acquired after a certain period,” according to a press release.
Bandai Namco Singapore has worked on a number of different games and franchises, including Tekken, Ace Combat, Soul Calibur, and Taiko no Tatsujin. Most notably, the studio assisted Nintendo on its first-party title, Splatoon 3, and was the lead on New Pokemon Snap.
Nintendo itself said its latest acquisition “will have only a minor effect on Nintendo’s results for this fiscal year.”
Nintendo picked up Dynamo Studios back in 2022, renaming it Nintendo Pictures. It also acquired porting studio Shiver back in 2024.
