So, Sakurai made an official statement that the DLC fighters were selected by Nintendo. What are the implications? Why is this happening after so many Smash games?
For starters, this is a departure from Sakurai's meticulous habits, as Sakurai has always been the final judge when it comes to selecting fighters, as well as being in charge of nearly every detail in the entire game. Is this a sign that Sakurai is letting go of his old ways? Perhaps that Smash has grown too big to be completely controlled by him? Personally, I think he might be motivated to offload some work.
Also, who at Nintendo is a part of the fighter selection? The Smash community has investigated Sakurai's fighter selection habits for over a decade, but what about key Nintendo executives? How many Nintendo employees do we think is involved in this process? The Nintendo President, Miyamoto, Reggie, Nintendo EAD #4, etc.. If we knew which groups were a part of this, we could make some insightful guesses.
Who would we expect from different Nintendo executives? Do you think the big heads at Nintendo want their favorites fighters, or new characters to promote games? IsMiyamoto responsible for Piranha Plant?
