'''Smilebit''' (スマイルビット) was a research and development division within [[Sega]]. It is best seen as a logical continuation of [[Sega Software R&D Dept. 6]] (formerly known as [[Sega CS1]]). It is largely different to CS1, with the majority of those developers leaving Sega to join the new start-ups [[Artoon]] and [[Land Ho!]]. Smilebit is largely based on [[Sega PC]] instead. Over time, Smilebit became the de facto studio for sports games, with the majority being aimed at Japan. Internationally, Smilebit was known for it's high-end Dreamcast and Xbox titles. Those developers ended up at largely at [[New Entertainment R&D Dept.]].
