An arm injury has affected Masahiro Sakurai's work on the next installment of Super Smash Bros, the game creator has announced.http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_2859/image_285965_thumb_wide300.jpg (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/viewer.php?mode=article&id=285965)
The famed developer Kirby has revealed he is suffering from calcific tendonitis, as well as several ruptures in his arm muscles. He reveals in his regular column in Famitsu that this has resulted in chronic arm pain which affects him most when using a keyboard or game controller.Translated by Polygon (http://www.polygon.com/2013/2/27/4035046/why-masahiro-sakurais-bum-right-arm-is-hindering-work-on-the-new) Sakurai admits that "if this disorder lingers, or never gets fixed, there's no telling what impact that would have on [Super Smash Bros]."Playtesting for Super Smash Bros has proved difficult for Sakurai as he explains "I've had to control two characters at once in a lot of game projects up to now," he said, "so as long as I keep it to simple moves, this works well enough. It doesn't go that easy with the Nintendo 3DS version, though, and the debug camera is pretty hard to control."Despite the injury, and Sakurai's concern that it will impact development, there has been no mention of a delay at this stage.
