Smilebit

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).

CS1 had been an unusual group within Sega, being split into Team Ara (Victory Goal) and Team Andromeda (Panzer Dragoon). With Smilebit, all of these groups were brought together under one banner (save for staff who moved to United Game Artists), and Smilebit became the de facto studio for sports games (although it also diversified into other genres).
