Sakurai Says He Is Still In A Lot Of Pain

Mynintendonews:

Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of both Kirby and the Smash Bros series, has revealed that he is still suffering an immense amount of pain from his right arm and hand. Sakurai told Kotaku that he still can’t use a mouse at this moment in time and is relying on using a trackball. Sakurai says due to his workload with the next Smash Bros game for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, it has become a really critical issue. But, he says that he is still 100 percent committed to finishing the next Smash Bros which is due for release next year.

Maybe he should of told them that he would do a 3DS version later on after they've done the Wii U version. Seriously they've even said that there could be limitations on the console version to keep it on par with the handheld one.

PopRocks3593971d ago (Edited 3971d ago )

Funny thing, he's already stated the two versions may release at different times.

@below

Aside from character limitations (pertaining specifically to characters like Ice Climbers), we don't know what exactly the 3DS version will hold back. The engine seems to be running pretty well based on the gameplay footage we've seen.

And besides, while they've said DLC is not on the table right now, that doesn't mean they won't consider the idea post release.

Mr_Nuts3971d ago

Well if that actually is the case I don't see why he has to match them up so perfectly that they have to be the same

I'd rather have as much content in the console one as they can manage not be dumbed down because of a handheld version.

So far we've only had one SSB per gen...I want the most out of this game as they can do with the Wii U hardware

CrossingEden3971d ago

you complain that the console version might be limited on an article about a man who's dedication to game design is allowing him to persevere so that he can deliver the best game possible, and all you care about is whether or not the console version will be dumbed down.... wow.....

Buy that man a bionic arm he deserves one.

Sketchy_Galore3971d ago

Tragic. Apparently doctors are still unsure whether his injuries are due to more than 20 years working at a computer or five hours holding a WiiU game pad.

....sorry, not trolling, just had to go for the joke.

aPerson3970d ago (Edited 3970d ago )

That is quite possibly the funniest comment I have ever read here...

jakmckratos3971d ago

ISnt there a way nintendo could hook him up with some less-painful motion based interface??? I mean if anyone could it'd be Nintendo right?????

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

XiNatsuDragnel154d ago

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

Rainbowcookie154d 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.

0hMyGandhi154d ago

Damn, you guys got mean marios over there?

GotGame818153d ago (Edited 153d 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!

FinalFantasyFanatic153d 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.

DazaMc154d ago

It's about time for Arkanoids return!

Brazz154d ago

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

Tacoboto154d 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

Knightofelemia154d 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.

eagle21193d ago

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

InUrFoxHole193d ago

Well played sir... well played!

CrimsonWing69193d ago

You win “comment of the day!”

Tzuno193d ago

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

Dandizzle193d ago

salty much? SM2 is absolutely a masterpiece.

Unknown_Gamer5794193d 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.

GrizzliS1987193d ago

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

FinalFantasyFanatic192d 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.

Nerdmaster193d ago

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