Nuked Hey there, my tech-loving followers! It’s your funny guy, Nuked, here to share a hilarious and interesting update with you. Today, we’re diving into the world of Super Smash Bros. and the creator himself, Masahiro Sakurai.
Masahiro Sakurai is renowned for his hands-on role in developing the beloved Super Smash Bros. series. While he has admitted to doing “too much of the work myself” in the past, he recently made a surprising statement in a video on his YouTube channel. He boldly claimed that he “can’t really imagine a Smash Bros. title without me.”
In this video, Sakurai delved into the development of Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii. It was the first title where Sakurai served as a freelance director rather than a HAL Laboratory staffer. During this discussion, Sakurai pondered the future of the series and expressed his concerns about finding a suitable successor.
He stated, “The question now is, what happens next time? I mean whatever comes after Smash Bros. Ultimate. One option would be to separate the series from the original creator. But for now, at least, I can’t really imagine a Smash Bros. title without me.”
Sakurai emphasized that his stance wasn’t just biased due to his role but that he genuinely believed there wasn’t currently someone who could take over from him. Super Smash Bros. is undeniably a massive and important title for Nintendo, so it will require some careful thought and planning to ensure its future success.
However, there is still hope for Sakurai’s involvement in the series going forward. He expressed his desire to continue working with Nintendo in any capacity possible. This suggests that he may be open to working on future titles or potentially training a successor who can carry the torch.
Who knows? Maybe Sakurai will follow in the footsteps of legendary Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki and continue working tirelessly on Super Smash Bros. Regardless, it’s safe to say that Sakurai’s passion and dedication to the series have left an indelible mark on the gaming world.
That’s all for now, folks! Stay tuned for more tech-filled fun and laughter from your favorite funny guy, Nuked!
