More Smashy. Mmmmmm...Although I thought Iwata had to practically beg him to make Brawl?

I think it was more that he was looking for something to do, and Iwata offered him the most creative freedom (within reason) and the most freedom of production, etc. I don't think he was *opposed* to doing brawl to quite the begging degree.

Here's the story. You can decide for yourself if it was 'begging'

 

Cool, thanks for the info and the link.

Edit: I would love to know what was going through both of their heads during the interview.

Iwata: "It wasn’t right, but you might even say I used it as a threat of sorts. "

Sakurai: "It certainly had the desired impact!"

Iwata: (laughs)

Sakurai: (Plots to kill Iwata)

1v1, final destination. No Items.  Sakurai chooses Kirby, Iwata chooses Ness. Winner becomes CEO, loser has to spend the rest of eternity working at Ubisoft developing Imagine:CEOz.
