In a recent video, Super Smash Bros. series creator Masahiro Sakurai took some time to talk about his feelings regarding the series in online play.

Signalis Hit Harder Than Expected

I’ve brought it up a couple times already, but I just cannot seem to get Signalis out of my head lately. It’s not so much because of its gameplay though.

More Classic than Classic

I had a thought dawn on me a little while ago, one that’s been poking at me more and more as of late. It started out as more of a inkling than a thought; a feeling that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. As I’ve played more “throwback”-style games though, the more defined this…
