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.

Court Records has translated a bunch of details about The Great Ace Attorney from this week’s issue of Famitsu. You can find them rounded up below.

– Baroque/Barock: legendary English prosecutor said to never let a defendant escape
– He’s returning to court after 5 years
– Known as “The Death God of the Old Bailey”
– Took about a year to come up with the name of the prosecutor
– It was originally “Prosecutor Rival”
– There is a proper name origin for the name, but Takumi finds it embarrassing to talk about; he has a different font for “objection” to convey the “English”-ness of him
– Jury Battle: Each of the jury members have their own ideas about the case and you can get the not guilty verdict by finding the contradictions in, and between their ideas
– Ryuunosuke can walk around during the trial as he’s thinking
– The last argument is where you have your last chance to convince the jury of your client’s innocence
– If all jury members decide on guilty, then it’s over
– If there is a majority votes not guilty after the closing argument, you win
– Takumi had considered a multiple-ending game at first, but in the end, settled on this
– During trials, you can question multiple witnesses at once and yell “HANG ON!” if one is acting up, much like PLvsPW
– Special attention has been paid to camerawork, a sense of space and eye movements of the characters
– Case 1: “The Adventure of the Grand Travelers”
– The prosecutor in this case is Taketsuchi Auchi, Payne’s ancestor
– Case one’s waiter witness is named Satoru Hosonaga
– A mysterious, elaborately-dressed woman is also shown without a name
– DLC featuring Ryuunosuke and Asougi will be available 7/9 to 7/19 for free
– The episode is called “Randst Magazine Special Edition”
– It’s called out as a ‘game’, but it’s not clear if it’ll be a full case
– Randst Magazine comes from Strand Magazine, where the original Holmes stories were published
– The game’s limited edition will include a 48-page artbook and 10-track CD
