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.

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.

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.

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.

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

It's fun making new skills for new characters.

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