Earlier tonight, Nintendo hosted their first developer roundtable at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The subject of the meeting was the pair of new Super Smash Bros. games for the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U, and the guest of honor was game director Masahiro Sakurai. GeekNifty took notes on pretty much every word that was said, so read on for the full report, as detailed as it gets.
Nintendo allegedly let Masahiro Sakurai work on his passion project, Kirby Air Riders, in order to convince him to direct another Smash Bros.

Kirby and Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai revealed that the game project he referenced in his final YouTube video last October was Kirby Air Riders.
