Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros. series has been very open through his columns in Weekly Famitsu about the development process and the toll that it has taken on his life, and this time is no exception.
In his latest column he answers fans letters and one fan asked him:
“Hello, Mr. Sakurai. It sounds like development of Smash Bros. was really, really hard. Reading your column sent shivers up my spine. I’ve never seen you so worn out. It made me appreciate the new Smash Bros. more than ever.”
Sakurai responded by saying:
“It was very tough this time around… I doubt I’ll be able to go on making games if it continues like this. But, I consider myself lucky that so many people seem to enjoy [Smash Bros.]”
Although this might seem like a slightly more positive outlook than previous statements there is no doubt that game development can be a lot of hard work and this game seemed to be no exception. Sakurai has clearly given quite a bit of love and passion to the Super Smash Bros. Series.

Majora’s Mask might be one of the most interesting games in the Zelda series. Not only is the title darker and different from other entries, but development itself was also atypical.
Eiji Aonuma reflected on the original release of Majora’s Mask in a recent issue of GamesMaster. In his chat with the magazine, he discussed the game’s short development cycle, and how “innovation truly comes when you have to work under some kind of big pressure.”
Below are his words in full:

Thanks to the latest Media Create report, it’s been confirmed that The Legend of Legacy sold 53,974 copies in its first week at Japanese retail. It turns out that the title is FuRyu’s best-selling game at launch by quite a large margin.
Here’s a look at how The Legend of Legacy stacks up to FuRyu’s previous releases:
(2011) Unchained Blades [PSP] – 18,256
(2011) Unchained Blades [3DS] – 5,592
(2011) Tsuku Monogatari [PSP] – 13,329
(2012) Unchained Blades Exxiv [PSP] – 6,793
(2012) Unchained Blades Exxiv [3DS] – 6,645
(2014) Lost Dimension [PSV] – 3,868
The Legend of Legacy certainly did well given that its a new IP, and comes from a small publisher!
