His talents are wasted in Nintendo
I wanted to shit on the tendie baby racing game but I watched the whole Kirby Direct and it looks fun as fuck? Definitely better than most games shown by Nintendo so far and better than Mario Kart World. Every passing year I'm more convinced sakurai is maybe the best mechanics focused game designer on earth and his talents are completely wasted at Nintendo. I can't imagine how crazy his games would be if he were unleashed at capcom or sony instead of being stuck making kids games.

He even admits he thought it was retarded to make air ride when it's so similar to mariokart but the out of touch boomers at Nintendo and HAL wanted him to do it. What a fucking waste.....

This but unironically. He should be making more shit like Air Ride and Kid Icarus Uprising. But it's what he wants to do, so who are we to tell him it's a bad idea? The company he works for doesn't matter if he produces good vidya

He was offered a chance to make an Oculus VR game but he turned it down.

You do know Sakurai is freelance right he's not an actual Nintendo employee

don't know much about this dude but the direct was legit funny, and the fact he is basically an independent hired gun that has the stones to make fun of nintendo in their own direct is awesome

His company is literally just him with his wife

I have a love / hate relationship with Samurai. He's obviously incredibly competent. But he's so stuck in his ways that everything he makes is very predictable. I wish they wouldn't let him be director of games. Like they should let him be in charge of managing the technical work being done because he's obviously good at that. But there should still be someone over him calling the shots so his "muh vidya design" autism doesn't go crazy.

He didn't even direct the Top 10 best Kirby games.

He's perfect making tendie games. Please contain his cancer to the cancer platform.

His talents would be wasted working on a Sony game. Are you joking? He'd be stuck making cinematic QTE games that have no gameplay.
