The company's official website also features another of Nintendo's successes, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
The relationship between Nintendo and Bandai Namco has given rise to collaborations between the two companies. This is revealed by the product page of the company that owns the rights of Dragon Ball in video games. It is not a novelty, both corporations have worked throughout these years on different products of Kyoto. However, the website has been updated with new data that reveal that Bandai Namco worked on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart Tour, ARMS and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Bonus-
In MK8 Deluxe, Bandai Namco produced approximately half of visual assets for courses, characters and machine parts.
In ARMS, Bandai Namco produced approximately half of visual assets for stages, fighters and arms.

All the details
According to the entry dedicated to Mario Kart 8, they produced “approximately half of the visual resources of the tracks, characters and parts of the vehicles”. On the other hand, in the case of Mario Kart Tour, developed by DeNA, they implemented “partially ingame and 3D resources on tracks, characters and vehicles”. They also produced more or less "half of bonus challenges."
ARMS, which is one of the new intellectual properties of Nintendo, was released a few months after the launch of Nintendo Switch and also had the help of Bandai Namco. The study was responsible for creating half of the visual resources of scenarios, fighters and arms.
In the case of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate the information is more sparse in details, since it only specifies that they joined the project “to produce this software”. The game has become one of Nintendo's greatest hits. Launched in December 2018, it continues with an expansion plan. Terry Bogard has been the last character to join the already broad cast of fighters. It is part of the Fighting Pass, although it can also be purchased separately.
The Kyoto ones still have a final character pending before the end of the first season of the Fighting Pass, although it has not yet been announced which one will be next.
