In terms of quantity, we've probably already reached the limit of what's feasible. I think a change of direction may be what's needed.

It's fun making new skills for new characters.

The pain goes away, but your work always remains.

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.

You can only truly wow a player the first time he sees [a cutscene]. I felt if players saw the cutscenes outside of the game, they would no longer serve as rewards for playing the game, so I've decided against having them.

At the current time we have no plans. I consider my job at this point, and my main responsibility, to make the Wii U and 3DS versions the best and the fullest experience possible. That said, once finished, it's the type of thing we could take into consideration, but for now, you could consider DLC as not being in the cards.
