Sakurai On How The Hero Made It Into Smash, Feeling Nervous On Taking Dragon Quest & More

Recently, Masahiro Sakurai was once again interviewed by Famitsu in a column titled “The Hero Joins the Battle! Banjo and Kazooie also Join the Battle!”.

Check out what Sakurai commented on for The Hero in this translation from PushDustIn on Twitter:

-Sakurai has always wanted to include the command prompt from Dragon Quest for The Hero’s moveset.

-He decided that the command prompt should include spells and attacks that you can choose. There will also be an MP system.

-Originally only certain Dragon Quest characters could fight eachother in the series but Smash has been given permission to let more fight for the first time.

-Sakurai felt nervous when taking on such a legendary series and decided that the final smash should have past characters to show off the series.

-Adding voice acting was decided later in development as in the main Dragon Quest XI game The Hero remains silent similar to previous entries. But Dragon Quest XI S gave The Hero a voice actor so plans changed.
