>>35904666y'know, Sakurai actually PLAYED his game during the demonstration, and the people showing it off had so much fun they had trouble remembering to talk while they were playing.
That was followed up by a woman who didn't like pokemon and a glorified translator barely poking around in a game while going over a long, obvious script. It's so sad by comparison. Say what you will about Sakurai pretending Kid Icarus is a series anyone cares about and dumping the entire cast of fire emblem into Smash bros, but at least it's obvious he wants to make a fun game, and not just a game he hopes people will buy.
