Why Masahiro Sakurai's bum right arm is hindering work on the new Smash Bros.

In the column he regularly writes for Famitsu magazine, Masahiro Sakurai (creator of both Kirby and the Smash Bros. series) mentioned pain in his right arm and hand last month. This week, he reported on the full diagnosis, and from the sounds of things, it's an enormous pain. "I think the one word I've said the most this year, by far, is 'Ow!'" he wrote. "Not only am I getting calcific tendonitis, but they've also found what are apparently several ruptures in the muscles. My upper arm hurts, and there's this chronic dull pain in my elbow joint as well. On the lower arm, there's this feeling of fatigue around the flexor muscles that turns into pain when I use a keyboard or game controller with my fingers.

Masahiro Sakurai on handling Twitter whiners and the new Smash Bros.

Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Kid Icarus: Uprising and the Smash Bros. series, admits that he is working on a new Smash Bros. game in his Famitsu column this week, but he's remaining tight-lipped about the game itself. "To put it succinctly, I'll need to have you guys wait a while longer," the producer wrote. "I hardly ever write anything on Twitter any longer, and that's because I think right now is the time to stop tweeting and start putting in a real effort here. If I could put it a really harsh way, I think it'd be better if I could be forgotten by gamers for a while."

"I don't like it when a...
