smash bros

“I actually think it’s a miracle that we got Smash Bros. and all the Nintendo characters to work together in the first place. Especially when you bring Pokemon into the mix and a lot of the complications that are caused by that being an almost completely different entity on its own, it’s really something.” – Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai, speaking to IGN, about the creation of the series. A new Super Smash Bros, despite not even entering development yet, was announced at E3 last week for Wii U and 3DS.
