Nintendo is celebrating its 125th birthday today having been established way back on September 23, 1889 (just turned 12 AM in Japan a few minutes ago). Congrats to the Big N!
As many of you know, Nintendo wasn’t a video game company in its early years. Nintendo started out as a card company before getting involved with other ventures like taxis, love hotels, a TV network, food, toys, and more.

Last week’s issue of Famitsu featured a new column from Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai. The piece addressed a few questions that fans may have about the new games.
On the topic of deciding enemies for Smash Run in the 3DS version of Smash Bros., Sakurai said that the following ideas were considered in the selection process:
– serves well as a general enemy
– light processing of movement on 3DS (comes down to the system’s hardware)
– it is possible to create uniqueness for that enemy
– maintaining balance between big or small, weak or strong enemies
– reduction of the relative workload that is required
– comes from a series that is possible to choose
