Question: If there were any things that you were very reluctant to cut, please tell us
Sakurai: In the beginning, we had a system where swords would break, or equipment would be destroyed. After you lost your stock and respawned, your equipment would be repaired, but people who survived, so basically the better, more skilled players, would be at a disadvantage, and I wanted to include a system like that. This game is a game of accidents, so I wanted to include things that would change the situation around.
Host: Why didn’t you include it?
Sakurai: In the end, it came down to a lack of time. We’d even prepared models of broken swords. Other than that, Captain Falcon’s helmet had a crack in it, and you could even see his eye peek out from under it. It was actually very cool. It’s a shame it’s not in the game.
Host: That is a shame. But if you had the time, you would have tried to implement it, right?
Sakurai: Yes. We really are adding as many things as we possibly can, so cutting the things that barely don’t make the cut…it’s can’t be helped.
