It's fun making new skills for new characters.

Using a mouse, keyboard or gamepad make my arm tired, so I can't use them in a continual manner. The only device I can use for an extended period of time is a joystick. It's posing problems when I'm test-playing something in progress.

What I can say now about paid DLC is that we aren't working on anything at the moment. We've put all our efforts into making the actual game. Creating DLC would involve large additional costs and require the involvement of a lot of people.

I'm not depressed and I continue to remain healthy and positive, but developing 'Smash Bros.' is beyond hard.

If tournament popularity was the most important consideration, then I think we would create a Smash Bros game that included a multitude of fast moves with complicated controls. However, I believe this is actually the greatest shortcoming of fighting games at present, and that is the reason why I don’t do it.

Even if it's a sequel, lots of people have to give their all to make a game, but some people think the sequel process happens naturally.

So I created a tool for you to do just that. With the Mii Fighter creator you can have any character you want join the battle.
