Iwata discusses how Sakurai got into Kid Icarus: Uprising after Brawl
"After Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out for Wii, I didn't think the right course was to make a game in the same series right away. So I said, 'Let's do something a little different.' Also, the new hardware, the Nintendo 3DS, was coming out, so to appeal to consumers, I wanted [Sakurai] to make something the in-house Nintendo development team wouldn't. I made those two requests." - Satoru Iwata
"At first, I thought a lot of light games - like Touch Generations - for casual users would come out for Nintendo 3DS, so I wanted to make a solid game for gamers. When it comes to the essence of the game, I want people to play hard!" - Masahiro Sakurai
