Don't let the fact that Ash is now the Pokémon World Champion distract from the fact that he never got Misty a new bicycle.

Imagine being an Indie developer on the Nintendo Switch. You’ve poured countless sleepless nights into development, likely with an underpaid team, and Nintendo promotes your work just to get massively disliked because it’s not a new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter. Imagine.

Then and now. Eight years ago I was hired to work as a Miiverse Community Insights Specialist with Nintendo of America. This ultimately culminated in my decision to move to Japan to become a video game producer. Today I visited the office where it all began.

"Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is for good boys and girls." It's naïve to believe Nintendo doesn't pay attention to what happens in these communities. We must fortify ourselves with a foundation of responsibility and safety to build a community Mr. Sakurai would be proud of.

After development wraps up at the end of 2021, Sakurai will have been working on Super Smash Bros. for 16 of the past 23 years.

A new fighter from "ARMS" will join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Despite this special request, it is very difficult to stick to the rules of the game as well as find the right balance while maintaining the spirit of “ARMS." Prepare for a fighter with entirely original mechanics!

『スマブラSP』に『ARMS』の新ファイターが参戦することが発表されました。制作依頼は受けたものの、『ARMS』らしさをしっかり出しながら大乱闘のルール、バランスにまとめるのはかなり難しい課題ですね。いままでに無い戦法を持つファイターを目指します。

Temper your expectations, the Nintendo Direct. Do not go into this expecting: 1. A new Super Smash Bros. fighter. 2. New AAA titles developed by Nintendo. 3. Breath of the Wild 2. 4. Super Mario Bros. remasters. 5. Anything beyond a video focused on 2nd and 3rd party games.

On 7/20 we'll debut the first #NintendoDirect Mini: Partner Showcase, a series focused on titles from our development & publishing partners. We'll share a few updates on a small group of previously-announced #NintendoSwitch games. Check out the full video release at 7am PT.

Based on the naming theme of the Eeveelutions, it'd be great if a Fighting-Type Eeveelution were named Champeon.

Replying to @Sephazon
Originally, Sakurai had an idea to create a level editor that would have allowed players to create a stage in Minecraft and import it into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but gave up on the idea pretty early, simply because it was “impossible,” as Sakurai puts it.

What if the pachinko level in Super Mario Sunshine was purposefully designed to be as infuriating as possible to dissuade younger players from gambling later in life. Good guy Nintendo?
