Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.

They have developed several Mario games for Nintendo in the past. Bandai Namco Entertainment has created several successful franchises, including Tekken, Pac-Man, Galaxian, Ace Combat, and Tales.
The first Mario game developed by the company, before the merger, was Mario Superstar Baseball for the Nintendo GameCube.

The company produced an arcade cross-over Mario Kart game, which came to be known as Mario Kart Arcade GP, as well as three sequels, Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, Mario Kart Arcade GP DX and Mario Kart Arcade GP VR.

Their own character, Pac-Man, is featured as a playable fighter those games, with various Namco characters appearing in one of his taunts, and the ghosts Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde appearing as an Assist Trophy. Heihachi Mishima from the Tekken series and Template:Wikia from Tales of Symphonia are the basis for downloadable costumes for Mii Fighters.
