Sakurai says his arm pains are worse than originally thought, and it’s impacting work on Smash Bros.

Last month we reported on some unfortunate muscle pains that were plaguing Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai, but this month we have some even worse news: Doctors say the issue is more severe than originally thought, and he’ll have to cease using his right arm almost entirely in the coming weeks. Don’t take my word for it, though, here’s Sakurai himself explaining the issue in a weekly blog he writes for Famitsu:
“If this disorder lingers, or if it never gets fixed, there’s no telling what impact that would have on the project. I’ve had to control two characters at once in a lot of game projects up to now, so as long as I keep it to simple moves, this works well enough. It doesn’t go that easy with the Nintendo 3DS version, though, and the debug camera is pretty hard to control. Still, now I realize how important it is to have your health. I’m glad I’m still in good enough shape to work.”
– Kirby, Smash Bros. Creator Masahiro Sakurai
Well… at least we know the 3DS version has a debug camera now! Best of luck to Sakurai, and I think I speak for a lot of folk when I say I hope he gets better both for Smash Bros. and for his own sake!
The back of the rumored Assassin’s Creed IV poster shows a map of Cuba

While most had guessed by this point that the upcoming reveal of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag would be pirate-related, this new discovery (from the same tipster that brought Kotaku the original promotional poster image) cements it. As you can see, the image is a map of Cuba and the surrounding islands as well as a full-view version in the bottom left corner that says “The Coastlands of Florida”.
Whether this is the only location in the game is anyone’s guess, but it will most certainly end up being one of them.

Wii Mini sells 35,700 units in Canada
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 0 comments
Since its release, the Wii Mini has managed to sell 35,700 units in Canada. Nintendo of Canada’s Matt Ryan said that the “Canadian market has reacted positively to the great value the system has to offer, and we are seeing this reflected in the sales numbers.”
Wii Mini sales have been fairly strong since the console launched on December 7. Its performance likely motivated Nintendo of Europe to distribute the hardware throughout its various territories. Europe will be receiving the Wii Mini next month.
UK retailers pricing Wii Mini at £80

In Canada, the Wii Mini costs $99. Nintendo did not announce a price for the console when it confirmed the new release for Europe since retailers typically set their own prices, but most have set it at around £80 thus far.
Amazon UK and GAME are listing the Wii Mini for £79.99. Meanwhile, ShopTo has a product page open with a £84.85 price point.
Worth noting, Canada’s $99 price is worth £65 directly.
Square Enix trademarks Deus Ex: Human Defiance

Square Enix has picked up a new trademark for Deus Ex: Human Defiance. There are likely two possibilities here. Either a brand new Deux game is in the works, or its the title of the rumored Human Revolution port for Wii U. I’m sure we’ll find out what Human Defiance is soon enough.
