Smash Bros. Creator On-Board For Revolution Smash

Posted by Zonk on Friday December 2, 2005 @11:05AM from the take-that-pika-pest dept.

Gamespot reports that Nintendo has opened an office dedicated to the next-gen sequel to Smash Bros. From the article: "Heading up the new studio is the series' original creator, Masahiro Sakurai. He returns to the Nintendo organization after a two-year absence. According to Famitsu, Sakurai was persuaded by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata to return to Nintendo over conversations that took place at the E3 Expo held earlier this year. Preparing a new Super Smash Bros. game with such short notice was not easy for Sakurai, given the game's tight development schedule."

Smash Bros and its sequel hide gameplay gems behind the cutesy-looking characters. I'm really looking forward to this, because it's about time Nintendo stopped pumping out "Mario Parties" and started doing more MK and SSB stuff.
And when the hell are they going to release one on the DS? Online play, ala Mario Kart only this time with more freedom to choose whoever you want to play, and bam. Instant success. Jump Super Stars proved that it's possible, so what are they waiting for?
