Who's actually updating Sakurai's blog?

[schep]

This is something I've been trying to find out ever since the daily updates have begun on the smashbros website. At the top of the blog on smashbros.com you'll see this statement...

"This is the official site for the Wii game Super Smash Bros. Brawl — a place where I offer personal, straight-from-the-creator reports on the project."

It's not really that important but I've just been curious for awhile now; Who is actually updating the blog on this site?

-Y-peace-Y-

It's Probably just a Bot. Uploading already existing Articles from a Server.

But who put those articlees from the server up...?

 

[Paranoid_Android]

The smash gods.

 

[Shuma]

A Community Manager? Perhaps? Or perhaps.... perhaps this is just a test from the Smash Gods.

 

[Mic_128]

Someone who's developing Brawl.

I posted it up. And it is very hard for me drawing the SCs with my feet while I enslave penguins.
You see I made the website as a joke. There is no brawl. And melee is street fighter with different spites.

 

[Mini Mic]

Well whoever it is I'm sure it has something to do with marketing and nothing at all to do with Masahiro Sakurai . Sorry to burst some people's bubbles with that bombshell.

Hm, do we actually care abou who is updating?
As long as it happens, I say.

 

[McCloud_Master]

Sony posting lies about Brawl. Does Sakurai have a blog?

 

[copper90]

Lol, I don't know what I'd do with my life if it was a hoax.

This is the official site for the Wii game Super Smash Bros. Brawl — a place where I offer personal, straight-from-the-creator reports on the project.
-Masahiro Sakurai (Sora Ltd.)

Either Sakurai is updating it, or the site lies and every update may or may not be true.

EDIT: Sakurai obviously isn't updating the English version. The other languages are translations of the Japanese version.

Here's how it works.

First, Sakurai wrote the updates in his native Japanese, so the updates on the Japanese version of the site are his words verbatim. He prepared all of his updates in advance so they could be localized by translators in other territories and then uploaded automatically at the same time each night. You can see this from how the franchise icons already have a preset numbering, which means the total number is already known.

Next, somebody working for NOA's Treehouse unit covered the American version. This same copy is then handed over to NOE, who tweaks it slightly for the UK's culture (you'll notice slight differences such as the season "Fall" in the American version and "Autumn" in the UK).
