Maybe they should hire a second person to work on the game.

Seriously though, sounds like the worst thing that could happen to a game designer. A complete nightmare.

My best wishes to him. These injuries sound really nasty...

Sounds terrible. Hope he gets some rest after Smash.

He deserves to take a year or so off.

Ouch. Even a sworn enemy of Lord Sony doesn't deserve this.

Easy Sakurai, take your time. Wii U still have 3 years to see your title finished. I know Nintendo will have other titles to make up for Smash Bros for the mean time.

it even happened to him because he is game designer  or not? because you do the same stuff with your hands/arms the whole day.

I think Nintendo is to busy working on cloning Shigeru Miyamoto, this is why there wasn't any 1st party titles at WiiU's launch apart from New Super Mario bros U, how coincidental this guy is now "injured", And people try to call me a conspiracy theorist

I wish him well and I hope the game can still finish on time. The Wii U's life depends on him.

plz get better Sakurai ;-;

Sadly I don't even think you're exaggerating with this statement :/
