Earlier this month, Super Smash Bros Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai revealed that he started working remotely at home due to the coronavirus outbreak. In a recent interview with Famitsu, he talks about how things are going so far. For himself and the team, work at home is going well. Sakurai jokingly talks about saving time by not having to commute or work in a sweaty office.
Sakurai states that if Super Smash Bros Ultimate was in early development during a situation like the coronavirus outbreak, it would be a whole other story. Development would be very difficult and Sakurai sympathizes with developers having to make games during this outbreak. Due to the nature of working on DLC, development is easier to maintain.
