Masahiro Sakurai had a whole lot to say about game balance for the new Super Smash Bros. games in his weekly Famitsu column. You can find an overview of what Sakurai said in the magazine below.

“Now that Sunday’s day off is past, I’m currently working on the character adjustment for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. At the moment, Bowser is very strong. He’s really strong. Fans of Smash Bros. probably never saw him as too much of a strong character, but this time, his ability to knock others out is very strong!”

– Bowser’s Smash attacks, special attacks, and aerial attacks now have quite the ability to send opponents flying through the air
– The best part about this is that it feels great
– This great feeling is what Sakurai would like to focus on for the upcoming Smash Bros. games
– He’s putting more care into that part of the game than ever
– Sakurai says having strong attacks are also something that must be carefully balanced
– This is because it may feel unfair to opponents if they’re too overpowered
– In order to meet the right standards, Sakurai and the rest of the development team have been spending a lot of time adjusting stronger attacks to see what works best

Capcom

A pair of Capcom games are currently on sale on the Wii U eShop. DuckTales Remastered and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara can both be purchased for $7.49 each. These prices are valid until January 9.

Following the 3DS eShop’s second round of maintenance yesterday, it has now opened for good. Furthermore, Nintendo doesn’t anticipate additional outages for either the 3DS or Wii U digital stores.

Nintendo has also said that news regarding the launches of Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter will be shared “as soon as possible.”

Nami Tentou Mushi is putting Ping 2 on hold while the indie developer brings out Ping 1.5+. It’s an updated version of the original with a bunch of extra levels.

Mighty No. 9 fans have chosen the design for Call, Beck’s partner in the upcoming game. “Call F”, made by Inti Creates’ Yuuji Natsume, was ultimately selected. The design ultimately garnered 43.39% of the vote.

Nintendo has issued yet another response to the situation surrounding its online services outage.

In the note, the company explained that the initial issues came about due to an influx of new accounts being created and accessing the eShop, as well as existing 3DS account information being moved to new Nintendo Network accounts. Nintendo also said that additional maintenance may be needed in the future.

You can find Nintendo’s full message after the break.
