Masahiro Sakurai uploaded his latest video on YouTube a short while ago, and this time around, we get to hear about the making of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U.
Late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata asked Sakurai to handle development, and he was certainly up to the task of developing two versions at the same time. Smash hadn’t been released on a portable system previously which would be unique, but its power would put a bit of a limit on the game. Meanwhile, Wii U’s power and HD output would be the main appeal. Thankfully, some of the work was made easier since the two versions could share mechanics, animation, and game balance.
The next Pokemon Presents event is almost here, and we have the official live stream for the August 2023 presentation. Note that thus far it’s only currently available in Japanese, but we’ll swap in the English version if it’s available before the broadcast begins (update: now added below).
Remember that the event, which begins at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe, will be about 35 minutes long. Expect to hear about the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet / Violet DLC among other things – a Mewtwo Tera Raid Battle event should be detailed tomorrow as well.
Here’s where you can watch the event:
