An In-Depth Chat With The Genius Behind Super Smash Bros.

Kotaku - Masahiro Sakurai is in pain. The creator of Super Smash Bros. suffers from calcific tendonitis in his right shoulder, and it shows: Sakurai often holds his arms as he talks, and he says he can't use a regular mouse anymore. It hurts too much.

BullyMangler3959d ago

woW!

Sakurai; "On the 3DS version there'll be a certain degree of character customization. You can have your own personalized character that you'll then be able to take over and move onto the Wii U version and play".

Does this mean that if I chose falco I will be able to pick between different bLasters? like do i equip the blue stalling blaster shots, or the Red faster non stalling blaster like foxes gun?

Or maybe we can now chose to use Ganons sword < making him slower?

Customize link to use his different types of arrows, fire arrow, light arrow, ice arrow, Goron sword etc?

Is that why Megaman has so many moves shown at E3 trailer?

Or is this customize like that Teken game that came out for wiiU where we can customize characters draw on them paint on them etc? hope not (:

kirbyu3959d ago (Edited 3959d ago )

Please let it be you can make your own characters.

That would be the greatest thing to ever be in a video game ever!

But not if they're restricted to a certain mode. Then it would be almost pointless.

Ratty3958d ago

It's been done in a lot of fighting games already. I seem to remember Sakurai even talked about wanting to implement it in Brawl but running out of time or something.

I think it means that:

* You can choose to have more blaster power, at cost of something else.

or

* You can choose which way your kick hits them...up, down,, left right, diagonal.

* Which way your recovery goes, is it quick and also a good move, or is it just recovery.

This would make a character like mario play in 5-20 different ways depending on who's version it was and what they have done with the move set.

* Maybe you can increase punch power but it decreases your jumping range or be able to take more hits, but you have overall weaker attacks.

* Also the ability to map which moves go to which buttons as well.

There will be tons of possibilities and it will make these versions the best in terms of replay value.

5-6 years from now, people will still be coming up with useful customizations.

This will also let the harcore group of players tinker with different builds and what not.

I'm hoping for as much customization as possible.

kirbyu3959d ago

Here's my question.

When's the friggin official site gonna update?

PerryCaravello3958d ago (Edited 3958d ago )

Is he really a genius. He's making games for a console that's being outsold by the wii and vita lol.

Idunno.

ThatArtGuy3958d ago

The man created Kirby and Smash Bros. His legendary status is confirmed even if he does nothing but junk for the rest of his career.

PerryCaravello3958d ago

If he's so legendary, then how come I don't know his name....

MIND = BLOWN

I'll take my response off air. Thank You.

Chidori3958d ago

This is the dumbest comment Iv'e read all day on this website. Congratulations.

PopRocks3593958d ago

Keep leaving ignorant comments like this and you'll be the first person to go back to one bubble before the new comment system is live.

kirbyu3958d ago

Yeah, because one guy not knowing your name instantly means you're no good.

It's a "scroll wheel" feature on the controller. Switch 2 rumored to have one.

XiNatsuDragnel144d ago

Scroll wheel would be in line with nintendos uniqueness I find appealing imo.

Rainbowcookie143d ago

Just wish they would lower their prices after games are a few years old. Its hard in countries where the exchange rate kills gaming. 1 game is = to and 1/8 of their paycheck. Hard to play a nice mario when its like that.

0hMyGandhi143d ago

Damn, you guys got mean marios over there?

GotGame818143d ago (Edited 143d ago )

Nintendo used to lower prices back in the Gamecube Wii days. They were called Nintendo Selects and priced $20.00. They haven't done that in years. Nintendo should!

FinalFantasyFanatic142d ago

@GotGame818,

I miss those days, they didn't even lower prices for 3DS games before they scuttled new Eshop purchases, or prices on physical copies. I've also noticed the discounts for Switch games aren't as good now that the pandemic has been over for a while, especially on first party games. I wish they would bring the Selects back and drop $20 off the price permanently.

DazaMc143d ago

It's about time for Arkanoids return!

Brazz143d ago

Scroll Wheel would be very cool. Legit great feature for games that need select skills, itens, weapons, etc.

Tacoboto143d ago

Especially if "next to the triggers" means clickable scroll wheels instead of bumpers/L1R1.

That would be so great for games where those buttons already bring up in-game select wheels

Knightofelemia143d ago

Was not one of my favorite consoles but the shit a person could do with it. A gameboy player was about the reason why I liked the GC. And taking it apart to clean it pretty simple I wish Nintendo would let the gameboy player work on the Switch.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Has Been Labelled A ‘Masterpiece’ By Super Smash Bros. Creator

Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai has spent his weekend playing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and has come away more than a little impressed, labelling both games as masterpieces.

eagle21182d ago

Nice! I guess he considers them a "smashing" success. ;p

InUrFoxHole182d ago

Well played sir... well played!

CrimsonWing69182d ago

You win “comment of the day!”

Tzuno182d ago

He must be having quite a low standards when it comes to games
Saying that Reskin 2 is Masterpiece... lol

Dandizzle182d ago

salty much? SM2 is absolutely a masterpiece.

Unknown_Gamer5794182d ago

Just a troll who can’t handle MS taking third place yet again with 2023 exclusives, with their supposed “GotG” not getting the reception it was expected to. Nothing to see here.

GrizzliS1987182d ago

What does he know, 7/10 no name reviewers are much more credible.
Ps: starfield 10/10 easily

FinalFantasyFanatic182d ago

It's Sakurai, I think you need to learn your game developers better, in fact, he has a whole Youtube channel dedicated to game design. I think he knows a thing or two about what makes a good game.

Nerdmaster182d ago

Spider-Man confirmed in Smash Bros Multiverse on Switch U!
