The giant wind mill in the right-hand side of Windy Hill. It keeps on turning even though it can’t fit in the screen, so you’ll find yourself in trouble if you’re on it for too long.

Masahiro Sakurai is being recorded regularly while developing the new Smash Bros. games. A camera typically captures his words when he talks about editing and changes at work.

This may seem like a biazzare thing to do from an outside perspective. However, it’s all done in order to retain the accuracy of his orders.

Sakurai wrote in his weekly Famitsu column:

“It remains as an accurate recording. The people under supervision can check over and pick up things that would become blurred in something like a written memo.”

“Everything I say or talk about is recorded as is, but to be honest, it doesn’t feel very good. You know how most people don’t really like listening to [a recording of] their own voice?”
