In the most recent episode of YouTube show Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games, Sakurai addressed whether he’s still actively working in the games industry and if that is his interest in the future.

“As for me, I’m still creating games for the time being, but I’m also making this YouTube channel,” Saukrai said.

“I’d never done anything like this before starting, so in a way, you could say I haven’t exactly stayed put either.”

Later in the video, Sakurai spoke about fellow veteran developers that have begun to leave the industry.

“Aside from those who reach retirement age, there are quite a few people who disappear from the game industry part way through their careers,” he said. “Of course, for some, it’s simply unclear where they ended up. This isn’t limited to the game industry, but if a creator you know does suddenly vanish without a trace please don’t write them of as ‘washed up’ or ‘finished’.”

I hope he’s working on Kid Icarus or even another new project. The man has earned a prolonged vacation from Smash Bros.

New Kid Icarus would be great!

Bro stopped spending 80 hour weeks for a decade making Smash and launched a huge Youtube channel a week later. Massive Hero Soccer Guy being a workaholic was never in question.

Hope he’s working on a sequel to the hit Nintendo eShop game Hentai Puzzler 3.
