Super Smash Bros. Spectator
Iwata
So, with the Share feature, players are able to share Snapshots, stages and…
Sakurai
…Replay. Replay enables players to record one entire match and replay it. That way, for example, you can play Target Smash!! mode and send a recording to your friends proving that "hey man, I cleared this in just 5 seconds!" Of course, you can also use this for memorable Brawls and such.
Iwata
It’s a blast to watch impressive Smash Bros. battles. One of my personal sayings is that a fun game is one you can enjoy just by watching. Smash Bros. is truly one that’s fun to watch.
Sakurai
That’s why I hope players are looking forward to Spectator. I think this will be a big part of the new title.
Iwata
The Super Smash Bros. Spectator?
Sakurai
Right. Super Smash Bros. Spectator. (laughs) With this feature, you can record a Brawl and share it once it’s been posted to Nintendo’s server.

Iwata
In other words, this mode enables you to become a Brawl spectator.
Sakurai
Right. I’m not sure how it will work out, but I really wanted to make it happen this time around.
Iwata
Right. Because watching talented players compete at Smash Bros. tournaments is a lot of fun.
Sakurai
Memorable Brawls, like sports broadcast on TV, can be sent to other Wiis.
Iwata
Wow, I can hardly wait. You know though, all we’ve talked about so far are the network features and we already covered this much.
Sakurai
Yeah, we haven’t even breached the surface of the most fundamental features of the game! (laughs)
Iwata
Right you are. Well then, let’s start talking about them.
