Why Masahiro Sakurai's bum right arm is hindering work on the new Smash Bros.

In the column he regularly writes for Famitsu magazine, Masahiro Sakurai (creator of both Kirby and the Smash Bros. series) mentioned pain in his right arm and hand last month. This week, he reported on the full diagnosis, and from the sounds of things, it's an enormous pain.

Well that sucks to hear for him, hope he feels better soon.

PopRocks3594075d ago

Poor guy. And he's still trying to do all of his jobs. Gotta appreciate his work ethic.

majiebeast4075d ago

Yeah but now he just needs to rest before this results in permanent damage to his arm. If there is a good reason to delay a game its personal health.

Jadedz4075d ago

Don't you overwork him!

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.

Rainbowcookie144d 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!

FinalFantasyFanatic143d 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.

DazaMc144d ago

It's about time for Arkanoids return!

Brazz144d ago

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

Tacoboto144d 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

Knightofelemia144d 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.

eagle21183d ago

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

InUrFoxHole183d ago

Well played sir... well played!

CrimsonWing69183d ago

You win “comment of the day!”

Tzuno183d ago

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

Dandizzle183d ago

salty much? SM2 is absolutely a masterpiece.

Unknown_Gamer5794183d 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.

GrizzliS1987183d 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.
