SSB Revolution Director revealed.

Masashiro Sakurai, who left for independent developing (and worked on Meteos, the delicious DS puzzler), is working again on SSB for the third installment. Yay!
Posted by BurritoDoesn't this belong in the Super Smash Brothers forum?
Posted by KlarthI'm having a hard time looking at the article, seems to be a lot of traffic...

Probably...
Anyhow I wish he would come back to HAL period, Kirby games haven't really been the same w/ out him. :(

It could go there, but it also applies largely to Revolution, as Smash Bros will be a launch title. It's important that people looking into Future Systems see this kind of thread, so putting it in the Smash Bros board would be a mistake.

Yeah, I know, they've been better.
Posted by BurritoThat upcoming Kirby game for gamecube looks pretty good.

Thank you. Yeah, I guess it could go in the SSB forum, but whatever. I guess it's not a big surprize he would be directing SSB again, but it's good news. He didn't do Canvas Curse, did he?
Posted by PitYou know, in response to your rep comment (Protoman, you de-repped me and said no), well, have you played Kirby Canvas Curse? Or the second GBA Kirby game?
Well, they weren't developed by Sakurai and both were excellent games and what I consider the best games in the kirby series. So what if they haven't been the same? What, change is bad if it makes a series better?

Its too bad there isn't a lot of info about it. Kirby GCN is probably getting delayed due to HAL working on SSBR, which really sucks. I was looking forward to playing a 4-player KSS Helper system soon.
Posted by Vampiro V. EmpireHey, great, this means it's barely in developement then! Now we'll have to wait longer for screens and videos :(
either way, I'm glad to see he's back.
Posted by AntYeah, that's what I was thinking...
I thought it was going to be a launch :/

I haven't played Canvas Curse, but my little brother DOES have Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, and I found that game nowhere near as fun as Kirby's Super Star, nor Kirby's Adventure.

Who knows they might just divide up into different teams.

No, it doesn't. There's plenty of work to be done on games that doesn't involve a director.
Posted by Vampiro V. EmpireMaybe so, but I have a feeling it's not that far developed yet. Not as far as some expected anyways...
Posted by Drewboy64Well, he was actually chosen back at E3. They just now announced it, so they've already worked on it for quite a few months.

Posted by GameMiestroMeteos? I like Meteos. This must be good news.

You automatically assume that ALL humanoids care for this trash.
It belongs in the smash bros. thread, because that is for people who like smash bros.

Maybe it doesn't matter.
Posted by BurritoIt's pretty dissappointing that work on ssb3 just started recently. I just hope they don't cut out things from it because they're rushing to get it out by launch, like they did with ssbm.
Posted by Drewboy64they aren't rushing it. THey ddin't just choose the director, the chose the director near the time of E3, its just that they now announced it.
Posted by GameMiestroIt took them long enough...

Yes, and all they had was the director. He was the only member of the development staff. The new Nintendo office didn't open its doors until October and they are about to start hiring new employees, shortly. Therefore, development is just starting.
Posted by GameMiestroImagine a Meteos based stage for the next SSB. That would be awesomeness.
