This week’s issue of Famitsu contains yet another column from Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai. Sakurai once again addresses questions about the new Wii U and 3DS games.

First, when asked him how it feels to be done with the development on Smash Bros., he said:

“I’m not done yet… Game development is very hard. You cannot get through it without sacrificing everything, including your own private life, and you often get hurt. However, I’m grateful that so many people have been involved, for the games that are completed, and all the people who play the games.”

Sakurai also addresses a topic about differences between Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS. In his response, he mentions that an announcement is coming soon to show the exclusive features of the Wii U version, which will highlight the “true potential of Smash Bros.”

Nintendo updated the official Smash Bros. website today with a new look at the Amiibo usage in Smash Bros. Wii U. You’ll find a set of images in the gallery above, and a comprehensive overview below.

Essentially, amiibo are character figures that allow you to connect directly to your amiibo-compatible games. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U can read your amiibo and transform them into what we call “figure players” that will join the battle with – or against – you!

Figure Players Join the Battle

Adding figure players to the game is easy. When selecting fighters to play in a Smash battle mode, simply touch the NFC touchpoint with your amiibo and a figure player will appear in an empty fighter slot.
