The pain goes away, but your work always remains.

You never know what's going to happen in this world. I'll just keep my mouth shut. That's a good idea.

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.

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.

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

In terms of scope, and in terms of sheer number of characters, we went beyond our limits long ago.
