Sakurai looks back on gift-giving with his Smash Bros. Ultimate dev team

Masahiro Sakurai is back yet again with another installment in his game development video series. This time around, Sakurai decides to go off the beaten path with a video that slots into the “Grab Bag” category.

According to Sakurai, whenever he gave gifts to his team, he made the most of the opportunity by turning the process itself into a game. Sakurai says everyone always had a good time with it!

It’s pretty clear that Sakurai worked incredibly closely with multiple team members during the creation of Smash Bros. Ultimate, and not surprisingly, he fostered many friendships during the process. While the work was no doubt grueling, it seems that Sakurai is pretty great boss to have!
