One of the big features in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the inclusion of Masterpieces, a look back on what the game’s cast got up to in some of their previous incarnations. Today Sakurai talks a little bit about how that’s all going to work when we get our hands on the game:
He continues:
Some of the Masterpieces aren’t unlocked at the beginning of the game. It’s impressive that there are even games from the Game Boy. Some games have different starting points, while others come loaded with save data.
Ever wondered what would happen if you took the Mute City from Mario Kart 8’s latest DLC and tried to run it in actual an F-Zero engine? Apparently you don’t need to look any further because it now exists thanks to the track editor in F-Zero X. What do you think, is this a faithful recreation of the recreation?
