Masahiro Sakurai delivered a speech at this year’s CEDEC developers conference today. The session, called “Why Do You Make Games?”, lacked Smash Bros. news for the most part. Although, Sakurai did share one small nugget.

Famitsu transcribed the following quote from Sakurai:

“It’s fun making new skills for new characters.”

Well then… Geno confirmed for the next Smash Bros,! Ah, just kidding.

n-Space interview tidbits: ‘Winter’ isn’t totally dead, ‘Battlefront: Elite Squadron’ was originally ‘Battlefront 3 – DS’, more

n-Space’s first ever game on PS1, ‘TigerShark’!

All of this information comes from my interview with n-Space, but I figured I’d post it in a more agreeable form for news outlets and people who have neither the time nor interest to indulge my silly interview writing. If you DO have the time or interest to read my silly interview writing, you can find the full article here.

– Originally wanted to include DLC in ‘Heroes of Ruin’, but were unable to in the end.

– An announcement about something (no word on what) to come via their Facebook page “sooner rather than later”.

– A typical game development team squashes 5,000-50,000 bugs on a single project.

– ‘Winter’ (old Wii survival horror game, never released) isn’t necessarily dead. There’s always interest in the game from within the dev team.

– ‘Star Wars: Battlefront – Elite Squadron’ was originally just going to be ‘Star Wars: Battlefront 3 DS’, but when ‘Battlefront 3’ ran into development issues they went through a rebranding.
