We first learned that Masahiro Sakurai has been dealing with calcific tendinitis in his right shoulder about two years ago. His condition has improved at least slightly based on what’s written in his latest Famitsu column, though he’s still dealing with the physical problems.

Sakurai wrote:

“I still have trouble with my shoulder and the symptoms of tenosynovitis still remain, so I’m forced to use a special mouse that clicks by inclining for work. If I was to button mash, my arm would give out in 10 minutes.”

Sakurai is currently busy with downloadable content for Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS. Mewtwo and Lucas are on the way, with more DLC characters to come.

This week’s issue of Famitsu reveals a new Run for Money game for 3DS, which is based on a popular TV program. Super Run for Money: Assemble! The Strongest Runaways will be available later this summer, according to the magazine.

The new game supports local communications, co-operative missions, and personal Miis. New stages include a fantasy map, a gold rush of America stage, and a pyramid stage.

Bandai Namco is preparing Super Run for Money: Assemble! The Strongest Runaways for a July 9 release. A special edition with hunter’s sunglasses (child size) is planned.

The previous Run for Money title, Run for money: Escape From the Strongest Hunters in History!, was a huge success for Bandai Namco. It went on to sell 650,000 copies in Japan.
