No one really anticipated the arrival of Wii Fit Trainer and The Villager from Animal Crossing in Super Smash Bros on the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U. In a recent interview with Nintendo Dream, Super Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai said that he wanted to have some fun new characters that have individual traits which he could expand upon. Here’s what he had to say about the inclusion of both characters.
ND: Not only guest characters were shocking, but Wii Fit Trainer as well. It was a character no one saw coming, right?
MS: Yes, that’s right. Zero, none… (laughs)
(everyone laughs)
MS: For Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it was discussed that non-combatant-like characters wouldn’t be added, but this time an important aspect of the concept was “if that character is included, could interesting things be done and could that fighter express individual traits?” When making this game, it was necessary to think very seriously “how to create new fun things”. I was able to think in my head the way how Wii Fit Trainer and Villager would operate so therefore they were included. Games must be completed properly, and in order to have fun gameplay for you and your opponent, each character has to have individuality. The present Smash Bros. was done by giving importance to that.
ND: By the way, did you realize Trainer as something to put into a Smash game at the time of the release of Wii Fit?
MS: No, that’s not the case. I don’t think about new characters etc. if I don’t have to for making a new Smash Bros. game.
Yes. Although I received consultation on events and such, the schedule of what gets announced and when all was decided beforehand. That is so things like deadlines for the movies were arranged accordingly.
Thanks, White Eagle
Instead of explaining why you included them in the game, why don’t you explain why there was only ONE shipment of Wii Fit Trainer / Villager amiibos.
That’s something most of us want to know.
Why he didn’t included a penis? it would be so badass and a penis amiibo it’s going to be a kickass.
That’s what happen when people say “Waste of a slot”
Irrelevant and full of damage control^
god dam it nintendo give us a god dam release date for new 3ds already ;-;
IKR!?!??!
I f you live in the uk get one from australia they are the pal region then you dont need to wait around for the uk release as you already have the system
And adding that weak POS Wii Fit (that doesnt instruct any form of fighting/self defence in any game) was a huge waste of roster like “Dark” Pit recolor clone. Don’t mind Villager at all even though some complained he doesnt fit. No. Wii Fit ironically doesnt “fit” and its move set is fucking pathetic. I rather have another clone like Lucas to fill that spot.
Lucas isnt a clone though…

You were saying?
You are disgusting. Wii Fit isn’t a waste just for being a unique character.
