Sakurai starting to think about next Smash Bros. games

[KingVamp]

​

Kid Icarus: Uprising development is finished, and the game will soon be out around the world. Director Masahiro Sakurai won’t have much time to rest, as he’ll be responsible for the next round of highly anticipated Super Smash Bros. titles.

Sakurai seems to be doing some reflection. On Twitter earlier today, Sakurai said that he’s been looking over the Smash Bros. Dojo website, which was used to communicate news about Super Smash Bros. Brawl to fans. He said, “However, what’s the word… it’s tremendous. How did we make this?”

Indies Zero CEO Masanobu Suzui saw Sakurai’s message and said something similar. Once a game is done and he check outs the design documents, materials, and development schedule for a project, he isn’t sure how the team managed to put everything together and create the title.
Sakurai’s response? “It’s because we always put our full effort into it. And then, if you rely on that pace, it becomes more and more difficult.”

Just include either Saki or Isa and don't forget Pit,and you have a potential buyer.

More of the same, yay! I can't possibly wait!

No, really. Smash Bros. is good stuff, one of the better Multiplayer "couch games" out there.

Love Smash Bros.
Love that i'll actually be able to play a handheld version of it.

They better put a REAL online mode in this time or i'm gonna burn down Nintendo HQ.

If Roy isn't in this game I will not buy it. Ike sucks tits.

I suppose they will instead put the new character from the next Fire Emblem instead of Ike.

Ike is awesome.
Marth is the one who sucked. So, down with Marth, up with Roy, and keep Ike.
Win/win

Is that really a bad thing?

inb4 this turns into a 'hope they include x character' thread.

o wait.

I really can't wait for this game, will be an instant buy for me; I've always wanted SSB on a portable.

Oh, BTW, in that pic you'd probably be safe in putting a '1' instead of an x.

Word is that Sakurai personally balanced Brawl's entire roster. Everyone knows Brawl is ridiculously unbalanced, and so he intends to let the rest of his staff in on the job this time too.

When I look back at Brawl, though, it really is amazing. There was so much stuff packed in there, I really couldn't believe it back before the game came out. I've never seen so much extra content in any game

We need Felix and Isaac (or Matthew)

 

[chyyran]

Boy, year 20XX sure is exciting

I wonder how the tablet might affect the gameplay..

 

[TheDarkSeed]

This news is MOST GOOD.

 

[Hop2089]

I'm getting the 3DS version at Japanese release, I'm not getting a Wii U at all.

"Hm, money is nice. Alright, I guess I'll get to work on another Smash Bros." - How I imagine Sakurai's thinking process.

I'm not a huge fan of the series (It's not bad, but I don't find it to be all that entertaining), so this isn't all that exciting for me. Still, it'll be interesting to see what other characters they manage to cram in there; I'm hoping they just go balls out insane and let you play as Shigeru Miyamoto, or at least make him the God-like final boss.

I hope Slime makes it to the final release.
