Sakurai Speaks About New Super Smash Brothers Game with Capcom Characters

Masahiro Sakurai was interviewed recently about the new Super Smash Brothers game, according to GoNintendo from an article in IGN.

“I can’t say that it’s entirely out of the realm of possibility that some Capcom character could appear in the next Smash Bros. The big problem, though, comes from the idea of trying to get characters from a completely different universe to fit with the style that has been dictated by Nintendo’s characters in a fighting game.

“In fact, I actually think it’s a miracle that we got Smash Bros. and all the Nintendo characters to work together in the first place. Especially when you bring Pokemon into the mix and a lot of the complications that are caused by that being an almost completely different entity on its own, it’s really something. So this is something that obviously will come up more as we get started on the new Smash Bros. development, but keeping those things in mind I think is important.”

There is a possibility of having characters outside of Nintendo enter the Super Smash Brothers competition, as seen by the inclusion of Snake in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. I myself would not mind seeing Dante or Mega Man enter the ring. Perhaps we might see more characters from Sega such as Bayonetta. So gamers, what do you all think about the idea of adding these new characters? There are more details to come as the Wii U’s release date comes closer!
