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. "

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.

..Super Smash Bros. DS?

Uh... Does anyone read?

"I’d have to draw a line in the sand and have a new approach to make it worthwhile. As long as the fans enjoy it, though, that’s what matters and in the distant future, I guess that might be something I have to consider.”

I don't know about you guys, but I didn't read the part where he says he wouldn't make a new version unless it had a "new approach" and that he "might consider" doing it in the "distant future" to mean a director's cut is coming up.

 That seems very likely at this point.

Man, you play for keeps, don't you? Why not be nicer, and just make the loser get castrated without anesthetics? It'd have the same effect in the long run, but this way you'd at least get it over with quickly.

sadly, I too would buy this day 1. A few more characters, some more stages, and improved wifi and I'd be all over it. Maybe add an adjustable speed option as well so you can make it play closer to melee speeds. That would be ejaculation worthy.

Can you add a mode to make a character, but with the types of attacks, there is a set % dammage? like say if i want to throw a kunai that explodes, when i change my attack to that, it has like say, 15% on it? like that? That would make everyone happy because anyone can have there favorite nintendo charecter, or anime charecter.

Directors' Cut is definitely the wrong way to describe it, i would think, since Sakurai had as much creative control of anyone this side of Miyamoto.

DLC or retail, I'd buy it.
