The director of Super Smash Bros.ultimate, Masahiro Sakurai, shares some good news for Nintendo fanatics

Super Smash Bros.ultimate The principal shared good news for Nintendo fanatics during a recent interview, which is currently no plans to retire. In fact, it seems that he is not thinking about retiring soon. The creative and creative director of long-standing Super Smash Bros, Sakurai is 51 years old, which is the age in which many begin to think about retirement. And it is well documented how much the development of games has affected Sakurai. In 2019, he revealed that he was in intravenous drip at a time during _Super Smash Bros.ultimate's development. Knowing this context, you would not blame Sakurai for hanging the boots early or at least make the transition to something much less stressful. However, once again, it does not seem that this is in Sakurai's mind. While Sakurai quickly admits that the development of games is a very difficult job, he is not ready to leave it, especially when he still has demand, which is. While the Super Smash Bros. series could and will eventually continue to live without Sakurai, however it is difficult to imagine.

Our generation believes too much to retire always at 60, Sayuda to Sakurai while he talks to tekken director Katsuhiro. Then, for example, if they are about 50 years old, they tend to think that they only have 10 years left. But you are also going to live after that, so you have to keep working. Life expectancy is increasingly long and the population is aging, so contribute to society even after 60, if you can, it is, I think, something in what you have to think regardless of the work you do. If you can still do what you are good at and if there is demand, you can simply do it. If not, you can change what you do.

Sakurai continued:

For example, Harada-san, or I, we have been doing things that other people have not done, so I think there will always be a demand in some way. However, I will call it 'art'. If nobody likes your art and there is no demand, then you can think about what to do. However, I also think that when I finish for me, there is nothing I can do about it. Making games is really difficult. I can not tell how many times I thought I wanted to quit smoking. I looked at the questions we received on Twitter and many people asked me what kind of game I wanted to do. There is no game you want to do ... it's what I like to say, but basically, games are more fun to play than to do, boys. Even if you work very hard to make one, sometimes you can bother you, things do not go well and there are many setbacks that can happen. . Also, it could mean you are shortcut your own life to make games. It is really difficult as a prickly road. You have to think about competing with others because it is a northern competition. You have to fight and survive, so ... In this way, I do not think I can choose when I retire. However, I also think that I should work as long as I can. I think that's a point. If you break your heart, you can quit smoking, but if it is not like that and there is demand, you can continue to do so forever. That is what I think.

For now, it remains to be seen how much more Sakurai will continue to spill blood, sweat and tears in super smash Bros, but the fan fans will be relieved to hear that it seems that they will receive at least one or two more deliveries of the legendary developer of games.
