Iwata asks Masahiro Sakurai about Smash Bros.
The other Brawl update for today is just a notice that the latest in the “Iwata Asks” series of interviews is one with Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai. Iwata Asks usually targets Nintendo employees, but Mr. Iwata saw fit to interview Sakurai, since he is a former HAL Laboratories employee after all.
It’s an incomplete interview at this point, but it does detail a lot of things we know, specifically the story of how the project got started at E3 2005. Since then, apparently about 100 people worked on the game full-time, with about 700 people involved in total. 700? Holy crap.

This picture kinda looks like a VS screen at the beginning of a video game fight…
