Masahiro Sakurai discusses the addition of Miis in the new Smash Bros Posted under 3DS, News, Wi U 2 hours ago by Brian (@NE_Brian) In this week's issue of Famitsu, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai wrote another column and discussed the addition of Mis to the game. You'll find what he shared inside the magazine below. "Incorporating Miis was explored in the previous game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but I though it over for about a minute and immediately decided against it." - There were concerns about potential bullying Miis were also generally viewed as light-hearted and simple caricatures, and not really fighti game material The change in how Miis were viewed and used led them to be revisited with the newest Smash Bros "Since the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Mii has become an even more important figure as a personal icon through things like Miiverse. After all, it's a character you see every time you start up your Wii U, and frequently with the 3DS, so it would be fair to say [the Mi] is quite a famous Nintendo character." The main reason why Miis ended up in the new Smash Bros. is because it allowed players to add anyone into their game experience Sakurai has seen the myriad of character addition requests from gamers around the world Because of issues like copyright and development cost, most have never been used Players can now make and add their own character requests The ability to use Mii fighters in online play is disabled when playing against people you don' know "We don't want the online play to become a copyright free-for-all and it's probably not as fun t play against someone using a character based on someone you may not know." In his article, Sakurai's pride in the effort that went into incorporating the Mii fighter is quite palpable "It's a feature we've put quite a lot of effort into. I think it's a revolutionary thing to be able to fight with Mario or Link or Kirby with your own character. Depending on who you are, this new Smash Bros. may hold quite a different meaning compared with previous iterations of Smash Bros."

Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog Storyboard drawings for the intro to Super Smash Bros. show that the Mario toy was originally planned to have soulless blank eyes before being brought to life by Master Hand. Below is a mock-up of what the scene could have looked like if this idea was left in.
