Katsuhiro Harada comments on his team's involvement in the next Super Smash Bros. games

According to Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada, the fact that Namco is working on the next Super Smash Bros. game is a misconception that publications have made. In actuality, he and his team are just cooperating with Sakurai to make the games. Sakurai is still in charge of the games' development. Here's what he had to say:

"It’s quite interesting to see the difference in the way that was presented to the press. In Japan, it was more accurate--there was a release that we (as in Bandai Namco) are working with Sakurai-san. But for some reason, all the publications abroad, the headlines all said “The Tekken team is working on Smash Bros.!” That’s not very accurate, because Sakurai-san is still indeed the person in charge of that project. We as a company--Bandai Namco, or Namco Bandai in the west--are cooperating with him on working on the game. That means using the experience gained in Tekken, and the technology as a base as well--in Tekken, but not just Tekken. So obviously, we’re cooperating with them, but it’s not “Smash Bros. made by the Tekken team!” Obviously it’s Sakurai-san’s project, so please don’t misinterpret that fact."

Yeah I'm glad they cleared that up for those who were wondering.

I'm glad he confirmed that.I don't want my SSB playing like Tekken.
