Sakurai on the need to appeal to all types of gamers, new Smash Bros. “more interesting” than the others
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, GameCube, News, Wii, Wii U | 57 Comments
This month’s issue of EDGE features interviews with a number of different developers, including Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai. Among other things, Sakurai was asked to comment on how tournament players tend to focus on Melee as opposed to Brawl, and what will be done to ensure that something similar doesn’t happen this time around.
Sakurai answered with a very lengthy response that can only be summarized in so many words. Many of his comments addressed the need to appeal to both casual and inexperienced gamers.
He also mentioned, “Although the pace of the game had to be lowered compared to Melee in order to achieve this balance, we have managed to keep the dynamism because we didn’t have to gear towards novice players like we did with Brawl. In fact, we recreated all characters almost from scratch. Also, I feel on a personal level that this game is more interesting than the three previous games in the series.”
Head past the break for all of Sakurai’s comments. Believe us when we say there are plenty of them!
