In this episode, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at some facts, secrets, and history of one of gaming's biggest figures, Masahiro Sakurai. In this video we cover everything in Sakurai's carrier, from his beginning at HAL and the creation of Kirby, through his development of Nintendo's Super Smash Bros series including Super Smash Bros Melee, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Super Smash Bros on Wii U and 3DS, and of course Super Smash Bros Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch.

Sakurai's words about Iwata's death create a very new, and possibly even more somber outlook on the death of others, that the sadness of one leaving us is not that they are now gone from all of our lives, but that we are now all gone from their life. Sakurai is the fucking man that can, and that quote is beautiful.

Sylvetube Well in the void you will never know. Like do you remember countless years before you? I guess that death could be like that, like when you are going through medical operation, they put you anesthesia and then you spawn in some bed in the hospital after the operation. But well I believe in afterlife lol.

@@coolguythematrix5 Sakurai's quote applies really well. Once we move on the role others play on our life ends as we leave the earth just as our role in their lives ends as well. I remember this quote surprisingly from CoD 1. "Its foolish to mourn for others rather thank God that such men lived". And as such I am thankful that a man named Iwata came to be.

My English is not perfect, but I want to try. Iwata passed away several months before the development of the Smash Brothers Ultimate began. When his death was reported, Sakurai wrote with Twitter as follows. “He has been my boss since HAL period. Even my positions and locations changed, he was the person who understood me. He was a hard worker and a virtuous person. He always drew balanced conclusion and proposals quickly. I think that he is the best leader as far as I know.” “It's not a usual day and it's not a usual mental state, but I came to work and threw myself into development as usual. It's also for Mr. Iwata. I'm doing what I have to do.” When Smash Bros Ultimate was announced at E3, Sakurai tweet in English, “We were finally able to announce Smash Bros. What a good day!” But also tweet in Japanese like this. “Oh…We were finally able to announce Smash Bros.... May I cry a little bit today?”

Everyone knows the meme with Sakurai and the "don't ask me for anything again", but honestly, that feels so disconnected from how he actually seems to be. My absolute favourite moment with him was from the last Smash Direct where he sits silent for a few seconds, just blinking, sighing and then asks "Will we ever get to take a break...?" That moment alone speaks tons to his personality. "I love what I do, but man if it isn't exhausting!"

My brother who's in his 20s is often mistaken for a teenager and my mother and father are often assumed to be younger looking than they are, especially my mother because she has Indian features like slanted eyes and her nickname was "China doll"and people assume she's mixed with Asian. I'm in my 20s and people have mistaken me to be a teenager as well. Our relatives also have youthful looks, I've had aunts and uncles who are in their 60s but I swear they had been mistaken to be in their mid-30s.

When Iwata was brought up, it made me so sad. Both of these gaming icons were involved in my longtime favorite game, Kirby's Adventure, as well as games that shaped my childhood like Super Smash Bros. and Melee. One of the last games Iwata had a hand in was one of the best Zelda titles, Breath of the Wild, meanwhile being a mentor for the ever-hardworking Sakurai as he worked on yet another Smash title. I don't think I would have grown up appreciating games the way I do if it weren't for these two, but especially Sakurai, since he brought Kirby as we know him into the gaming world.
@diegog1853 5 жыл бұрын
I really respect the decision of Sakurai to step out of corporate greed and just build his own space to make games, since thats his objectives in life. I also find amazing how it really seems that Sakurai has no wrong doings or missteps. I love every single one of his games, kid icarus is one of my favorite 3DS games, more ambitious than the majority of 3DS games and it was very early on its life cycle.

Sakurai proves to the whole community of what most of the indie community can do and what most of the massive triple AAA companies, Nintendo included, intentionally failed to offer. Sakurai proves to the whole community that he doesn’t care about business or corporate talks. He just want to continue his passion of making games and sharing them to the whole world for us to enjoy. Not to mention that he shows his way around making the game and giving players many choices to offer the more expanded the community base becomes. Honestly, this is why I respect Sakurai. He shows that gaming passion is stronger than corporate greed with his games, unlike many other titles companies like Ubisoft, EA, Activision, etc. throw out the door. And not to mention, mad respect to Sakurai for working his ass off too hard, but he does deserve a break since he put a lot of work and sacrifices to his game projects like a wounded marine on the battlefield.
