      Well Nintendo is playtesting a Minecraft-style MMO so hopefully they’ve put resources towards better online play.

        Considering their recent lawsuit, them ripping off Minecraft is hilarious

    I always knew Sakurai worked hard to deliver high quality games, but after watching this video, it’s insane.

    Creating a whole YouTube channel with 260 videos just because he had a few free months. Doing the majority (pre editing) in just a few months, scripting and recording nearly ever video in advance.

    Absolutely wild.

    I don’t think there was any tease. He is a game director, he is not retired, of course he is working on a new game.

    As he has mentioned, once a game is ending, director is already working on pre-production of next game.

    “I received a request to write a game proposal, which I finished at lightning speed,” he said.

    Free slate auteur game from Sakurai? Shadow development and surprise release?

      Kirby air ride 2, now with 49 player city trial

        You joke but I would kill for a new Kirby Air Ride game.

        You wouldn’t believe my disappointment when they had a Nintendo Direct years ago and threw a “one more thing” at the end which opened with Kirby Air Ride music and Kirby riding in on the warp star, only for it to be a Smash Bros character reveal. The video they put on YouTube after the fact opened with the Smash logo, but it didn’t during the Nintendo Direct.

    He will be missed. Everyone of his games were the most fun out of anything on Nintendo systems. He deserves a good retirement
