Nobuo Uematsu was interested in working on Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS

Nobuo Uematsu worked on Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and ended up creating the game’s orchestral theme. As for how his participation with Brawl’s development came about, Uematsu told Game Informer:
“I have a feeling that I got the job offer from Mr. Sakurai while we were drinking. He would let me selfishly do whatever I wanted, whether it be using an orchestra or using opera singers.”
It appears that Uematsu would have been interested in returning for the new Smash Bros. games on Wii U/3DS, but wasn’t asked to be brought back.
Uematsu said:
“Why didn’t I participate in the new Smash Brothers!? Ask Mr. Sakurai! I wanted to work on it! All joking aside, it’s just that, since there are many video game musicians representing Japan who are already participating, there’s no need for me.”
Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS Club Nintendo soundtrack seemingly being sent out
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 8 Comments
The Super Smash Bros. soundtrack appears to be making its way out to Club Nintendo members.
As of today, Nintendo has started sending emails about an unnamed physical reward being shipped. Since the order number is in line with what’s listed on users’ Club Nintendo page, it appears that this is in fact the Smash Bros. soundtrack.
Fans were able to reserve the soundtrack by registering Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS on Nintendo’s rewards site. Another bonus – Mewtwo DLC – will be available this spring.
Thanks to Anthony for the tip.

It’s official: Rayman is not coming to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS as DLC.

Rumor: Rayman coming to Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS as DLC
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 103 Comments
Are Nintendo and Bandai Namco working on another DLC character for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS? That’s what the latest rumor suggests.
Rumors about Rayman appearing in Smash Bros. first appeared on 4chan, as several alleged images surfaced earlier today. That has now been followed up with a brief video – though Rayman still hasn’t been shown in battle.
I’ve been trying to take a “wait and see” approach with this round of speculation. Since the video above has surfaced, it does seem more likely that the rumor holds true. But again: nothing is confirmed. And as I always tend to say, maintain some skepticism unless Nintendo makes an announcement.

Sakurai on how it was decided which stages to bring back for Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS feature stages from previous games in the franchise. There are some stages from Brawl, Melee, and even the original release.
In his latest “Smash Bros. Diaries” entry included in this month’s issue of Game Informer, director Masahiro Sakurai addressed a question about how the team decided on which stages to bring back.
There are several factors that came in to play. Sakurai mentioned “the popularity of the stage, whether or not it’s a match for the 3DS screen, and whether or not two stages from the same setting are getting ported” were all considered.
Below are Sakurai’s full comments:
