    He looks strangely young. I was expecting some 50year old guy making Smash.

    Certainly some interesting information here.

    "Well, I had considered what I would do if you turned me down and decided that I would need to take the existing Smash Bros. title, Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo GameCube, and try to make it Wi-Fi capable while preserving as much balanced game play as possible in the event you didn't want to get involved."

    I found that quite interesting. A lot of SBBM players would have been extremely happy with that solution, but I'm very glad in the end, we got a new product, with tons of new features.

    I can't believe the secret developer is GameArts!! Let's hope that means there are some hidden RPG elements in the game...or at least the team do a Wii version of Grandia and/or Lunar Smilie

    The irritating thing is that this is only added to the US site, not the UK one!!!

    Just visit the U.S one, what's the problem?. It wont be up on ours till nearer launch, or in a few weeks like the Galaxy interviews.

    Awsome interview, Craig I thought the same thing... he looks very young!!

    I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

    Yeah, quite young looking, but I think that's a good thing. Perhaps he can be one of the next "Miyamotos" for Nintendo. At his age, he still has a lot of good games left in him. Smilie

    Anyhow, looking forward to the next part.

    Apparantly Brawl is Sakurai's "Goodbye" project, we all know he left HAL, and apparantly Brawl will be his last Smash Bros game at least.

    Does this mean it'll be the last one? Evar? Smilie

    EDIT: Iwata asks is on the UK Dojo now too.

    I highly doubt it... I'm sure that someone else will take over in his place... Could be better or worse...

    There already are rpg elements in the game. adding stickers onto your trophys gives that character more strength,air,stats etc.....well i think thats how it goes
