Dear Reader:
Sakurai looks back on his 30+ years of game development, wonders how many years he will continue working
Masahiro Sakurai is back with another feature for this week's Famitsu. This time around, the theme of the article is the 20th anniversary of Smash Bros.. We have some details from the feature below, thanks to our friend PushDustin.
- children who played the original Smash when it first came out are now old enough to play with their children
- including the development time for the original Kirby, Sakurai has been directing games for about 30 years
- Sakurai acknowledge that he's aged quite a bit, has more wrinkles, and his eyes have gotten a little worse
- Sakurai says he can indeed continue to work, but he does wonder how many years he has left
- Sakurai says he prefers to stay busy, and that's one of the reasons he enjoys working on Smash
