In een interview met de maker van de Dragon Quest-serie, maakte Yuji Horii van RPG Site zijn gedachte bekend over de opname van Hero in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Op de vraag hoe hij dacht over de opname van Hero in het spel, zei Horii dat hij “erg blij” is. Hij zei ook dat hij het niet was die Hero in Smash wilde zien – het was Masahiro Sakurai, de directeur van Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Sakurai had er blijkbaar al heel lang naar gevraagd.
RPG Site interview with Yuji Horii
RPG Site: I’d love to know your side of the inclusion of Hero in Smash – how it came about, your reaction to it…
Yuji Horii: I’m very happy that the Hero has been added to Smash! I’m also so happy that they included things like the commands, the MP… and also the character is really strong! [laughs] I’m really happy about that.
Regarding the process of having the Hero in Smash, Mr. Sakurai really wanted to have the Hero in Smash and they’d been proposing it for quite a long time. Also, since Dragon Quest XI was coming out, we felt it was the perfect time for him to join Smash. It’s all thanks to Mr. Sakurai.
