    By the look of the gaming setup there, which includes quite a few arcade sticks, I wouldn't at all be surprised if this game is competitive.



    I was a competitive Melee player and have won countless tournaments. Hundreds of dollars while I was in college. I tried to get into brawl and couldn't. I love it as a party game and it is in my wii almost constantly non the less, it is well crafted and if you look at the other games Sora has worked on you know the talent is there.



    Let us remember that the softening of Brawl may very well have been heavily pushed by Nintendo, rather than the majority of the development team.

    Anyway, I switched over to BlazBlue as my competitive game of choice....but I have alot to learn, that game is not smash brothers.

    It's nice to see that they are playing on competing consoles as well, and that they're not afraid to show it. Sometimes you get the feeling that Nintendo is completely oblivious to anything that its competitors are doing, hardware or software wise. Plus that HDTV gives me hopes that Wii's successor would support HD resolutions (yes, you never know with Nintendo).

    As much flak as Brawl gets from the competitive community (including me) for how it was purposely undermined as a competitive possibility, it was still a tremendously fun, pretty, and well-made game.



    Assuming they aren't working on a competitive genre of gaming, I can't wait to see what these guys have in store for us.

    Do I see a PS3 and an XBOX360 in the office? That's slightly humorous. *Might be something Sega in the top left of that TV stand?*



    I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm REALLY looking forward to this. Not because its the Smash Bros. guy, or because its a new Nintendo company, but BECAUSE THEY PROMISE SOMETHING NEW! Yeah... oddly enough... I'm not being sarcastic about that. Totally looking forward to whatever they shell out, here's to hoping it's a new RPG franchise for Nintendo! Or not.

    Yes, I believe so. At least I know the one with the black top is. The ones with the silver top have a bit of a different layout than Hori's sticks... So, I dunno.

    I've always got this sort of arrogant "Hey kids! we're a super happy corporation!" vibe from Sakurai and everything he represents in written form. These photos add to that particular image.



    That being said, GOD I wish I worked there :(

    @Ichidou: That doesn't strike me as unusual so much as very Japanese. To say 'positive work environments are a lot more important there' might be a bit of a misnomer (no two companies are alike, after all), but the feel of the environment--and the image you present to potential customers and partners, is an important part of it, and what little experience I had back in the days I was an office jockey saw a similar attitude, so it sort of matches my anecdotal observations, at least.



    I'm not saying it's strictly a Japanese thing, but sufficed to say, the difference in an office environment in Japan and your average American corporate office is pretty well documented. (God, I remember the training videos we had to suffer through that ended with an expectant middle-manager being like 'See! Be positive and work can be fun!' Like saying it loudly was all it took. NOT THAT I'M BITTER).
