Masahiro Sakurai: Don't Look Down at Namco Bandai

Masahiro Sakurai, Kirby, Kid Icarus: Uprising, and Smash Bros. creator frankly replied to a Twitter follower who asked him not to develop the upcoming Smash Bros. game with Namco Bandai. His response:

Sakurai's reply was curt and frank: "Knock off looking down on them with narrow-minded thinking."

Namco Bandai was announced to be the company that will develop the next Smash Bros. game together with Masahiro Sakurai as its director and still overall-in-charge. Namco Bandai actually really felt that this is rather a big project that they actually gets all their best talent to work with Sakurai-san for this one.

This is a mind=blown news, atleast to me. Sakurai has always been pretty straightforward with his comments. This just makes me want to get Smash Bros. when it comes out.
