- Lucario joined the battle for the first time in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which was released six years ago. The production staff of Brawl worked really hard to expand the character roster--without their efforts, Lucario probably never would have joined the battle.

-Masahiro Sakurai
December 19, 2013
"Pic of the day. Rosalina and Luma can be right by each other or set farther apart. They're both controlled by the player, so a smash attack can be done from far off. Remote control all the way!"
-Masahiro Sakurai
December 18, 2013
"Without further ado, a new fighter from a faraway galaxy joins the battle! The video is also a must-see!"

-Masahiro Sakurai
December 17, 2013

-Masahiro Sakurai
December 16, 2013

-Masahiro Sakurai
December 2, 2013
"Pic of the day. Turnips are used in the Villager's up-air and down-air attacks. Perhaps because the turnip prices fluctuate depending on the day's market, the number of turnips that appear changes every time. How cute."
-Masahiro Sakurai

November 29, 2013

"Pic of the day. The giant wind mill in the right-hand side of Windy Hill. It keeps on turning even though it can't fit in the screen, so you'll find yourself in trouble if you're on it for too long."

"Pic of the day. Here's Marth, the sleepyhead."
-Masahiro Sakurai
November 18, 2013

-Masahiro Sakurai
November 14, 2013
"Pic of the day. The characters' thick outlines are only available in the 3DS version. Only the external outline is thickened and won't appear in instances like when the hands or feet are overlapping. It's got a softness to it and is not just black."
-Masahiro Sakurai
November 13, 2013
"Pic of the day. The Villager's bug catching net that was shown in the movie is actually a grapple move. It is sort of like Link's Clawshot and Samus's Grapple Beam."

-Masahiro Sakurai
November 5, 2013
"Photo strip of the day. Plant it, water it, and then timber! It's high maintenance but totally worth the effort! It needs tactics like never before."
