Namco-Bandai Games is a company that sometimes works with Nintendo. Originally, Namco and Bandai were two seperate companies; however, they have recently merged with each other.
The first Mario game that Namco had developed was Mario Superstar Baseball, which was Mario's first baseball game. They later produced an arcade Mario Kart game, which came to be known as Mario Kart Arcade GP. The playable characters consisted of the Big Eight; however, Namco also decided to throw in three of their own original characters: Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Blinky.
Namco-Bandai is currently producing a Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, which will include Waluigi and a Tamagotchi named Mametchi. This will be the first Mario game in which Bandai has been involved; a Tamagotchi appearing is due to Tamagotchi being a series created by Bandai.
