A new stage, Mario Galaxy!! The pull of gravity emanates from the center of the planet, so this will require using brand-new tactics.

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?”

Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:

The characters’ thick outlines are only available in the 3DS version. Only the external outline is thickened and won’t appear in instances like when the hands or feet are overlapping. It’s got a softness to it and is not just black.

Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:

The Villager’s bug catching net that was shown in the movie is actually a grapple move. It is sort of like Link’s Clawshot and Samus’s Grapple Beam.

Marth’s sword has a powerful tip! So we gave his sword slashes a sharp look with an emphasis on its edge.

Here are the familiar capsules–these guys deserve a prize for being in every single game. We gave them a cute redesign by shortening their length a bit.
