Sakurai's latest game dev video details the importance of debug mode

Masahiro Sakurai is back with another installment in his game development video series. For today’s feature, we get a video that slots into the “Programming & Tech” category.

Sakurai says that debug mode is an invaluable tool that helps development proceed smoothly. Without this process, a game that would otherwise end up being fantastic might get bogged down by issues and problems that could persist through launch.

Apparently this video is quire special, as Sakurai says viewers might catch a tiny snippet of debug footage he normally wouldn’t be able to share with the public. Looks like Sakurai had to get special permission to release this one!
