2024-01-10 10:02:00

Masahiro Sakurai, creator of Smash Bros and Kirby, opened a YouTube channel dedicated to video game development in August 2022, in which there are currently 180 essential videos to understand his creative process and the complexity of video games. He has now reported through a community message that he plans to stop uploading content to the channel “sometime this year.”

A condensed encyclopedia of video game creation

Masahiro Sakurai’s videos on Creating Games, which is what this channel is called, last just a few minutes but almost all of them masterfully condense some little-known aspect regarding the history of some well-known games, from the design of some Game & Watch.

It also includes valuable tips on video game creation. That is why it has become valuable material for developers and for video game fans who are curious regarding how they are created.

The videos are in Japanese, and the transcription is in the same language, but they are all subtitled in English, so they can be followed if you speak the latter language.

practically retired

Sakurai stated in December 2022 that He is “practically retired” following the 9 years he spent working on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate were so hard that he felt he was putting his life in danger. However, he has recently stated that he continues creating video games, although probably at a slower pace or with less intensity than directing the Smash Bros series.
