Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:

Turnips are used in the Villager’s up-air and down-air attacks. Perhaps because the turnip prices fluctuate depending on the day’s market, the number of turnips that appear changes every time. How cute.

Jason Rubin, co-founder of Naughty Dog and former THQ president, closed out GameTrailers’ Bonus Round with a few somewhat harsh words about Nintendo. Rubin remarked, “Nintendo is irrelevant as a hardware manufacturer in the console business.”

Rubin did praise the company as a whole, however. Nintendo is a “worldwide treasure,” he said, while also noting how “it is a crime that we do not play those games on the systems that we have.”
