Anacybele Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Guys, I'm afraid there's a big possibility that SSB4 will be delayed. I found out on Miiverse today that Sakurai is suffering from RSI in one of his arms, which is some kind of serious joint problem, and this means he probably can't work as efficiently as before. Miiverse is made by Nintendo themselves, so I don't doubt this information is true. Honestly, I'm just glad Sakurai will stick around. A joint problem won't kill him. Still, it'd be tough to wait even longer for SSB4 when we've known about it since two E3s ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can wait, health is more important then games after all More speculation time for us to have fun with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firespark Faerie Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 RSI is a condition that's often associated with working at computers for extended periods of time on a regular basis. I'm a little surprised that Sakurai is sharing his health condition publicly, but I don't doubt it's validity. Depending on the severity of the case, several kinds of treatments are available ranging from physical therapy to surgical. While it saddens me that a came I've been anticipating for a while might be delayed, I'm sure Sakurai will make the best decision for his health, even if he needs to take some time off to address it. In the meantime we'll just need to be patient. As you've said, it's certainly not a fatal condition, but it can put a sufferer in terrible pain if it's left unchecked.

Anacybele Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yeah, you both are right. I'm glad SOME people are thinking more about Sakurai himself than his work. Unlike the idiots on Miiverse who seem to care about nothing except the games related to him. >.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
