In the translated interview, he said he’s healthy now, but since the start of the development for Super Smash Bros., he developed for Wii U and 3DS and had been working for the series for nine consecutive years until the end of the Super Smash Bros. That likely includes all of the work of DLC, which includes adding additional characters. He said that if he continued to play full-time, his life would have been over before he knew it. 14. Sakurai confirms that he’s semi-retired. In fact, he’s 52 years old. He spent 9 years on development after Smash for 3DS/ Wii U and Ultimate. Sakurai felt that if he’s continuing to play full time, his life will be over before he realizes it. PushDustIn (@PushDustIn) December 27 2022 While Sakurai isn’t likely to be completely finished with game development, the wording used was semi-retired, we think he’s probably the most popular speaker for future Nintendo titles compared to the hand steering the ship. As far as Shigeru Miyamoto has influenced current games, we could see him used as a base for feedback and suggestions, the same as the other Smash games, but he’s been pointing out a possible Kid Icarus: Uprising Switch and as a possible port. The Smash series became a major for Nintendo, so it is hard to believe they’d end it now. He also has a very positive YouTube channel where he writes his thoughts on videogame creation and looks like he enjoys creating videos. Currently, Masahiro Sakurai is a 52-year-old man, famous for its role as a Kirby-owner. He started his career at the HAL Laboratory in 1989. In 2003, he left HAL and created his own company, Sora Ltd. He was very close friends with Satoru Iwata, the former CEO of Nintendo. He died in 2015. That would be near the end of the development for Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, but that would be the beginning of Ultimates journey. Sakurai previously stated that Ultimate was his final mission from Iwata. While speaking speculatively, it would seem like Iwatas death may have brought an eye-opening experience to Sakurai in his life. As far as he is liked by fans of the Smash games, we all agree he deserves every day no matter where he takes.
