Masahiro Sakurai on his huge workload for Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS and more
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 5 Comments
The amount of work Masahiro Sakurai puts into the new Smash Bros. games is kind of unbelievable. One of his tasks has him inputting a ton of different parameters, which under normal circumstances, would be a job for multiple staffers – not just one employee.
Sakurai wrote in his weekly Famitsu column this week:
“With the previous Smash Bros. games, I would input all the fighter specs and attack hitboxes, and with the new games I’m doing something very similar. If I were to hand over the work to someone else, it would be a full-time, multi-person designated workload.”
Why would Sakurai take on such an involved task by himself? For one thing, he’s working with a new team. Collaborating with Namco Bandai does have its advantages though, as he says the company has created development tools that are more advanced and allow for more immediate trial and error.
Sakurai also says working alone is “faster and more accurate”.

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Bravely Default is about to hit Europe, and as such, a few reviews have slowly started to trickle in. They’ve all been pretty much positive across the board.
Square Enix seems to be pleased with the game’s overseas reaction thus far. Earlier this week, the official Bravely Default Twitter account tweeted the following:
“Bravely Default is a game that was designed only taking RPG fans in Japan into consideration. We thought overseas expansion was impossible. Seeing this much anticipation moves me deeply.”
