Gamasutra has a great interview up with Masafumi Takada, best known for his work on the Grasshopper Manufacture games killer7 and No More Heroes and contributor on projects ranging from Super Smash Bros. Brawl to Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. The interview covers a ton of ground, from what it’s like to work with Goichi Suda to Takada’s work on Samurai Champloo to his theory on composing for games:
Another Super Smash Bros. Brawl update brings yet another character. This time it’s Donkey Kong’s best buddy Diddy Kong.
