Random: Poor Old Sakurai Can't Even Reveal What Games He's Playing Anymore - Nintendo Life
Jun 04, 2020 4 mins, 17 secs

Masahiro Sakurai likes to play video games just as much as his fanbase, but due to his role as the director of Super Smash Bros.

Even though he plays "a lot" of games in his spare time, in his latest Famitsu column this week, Sakurai explains how it's got to the point where he can no longer allow people to "find out" the types of games he's playing.

He also has to show some restraint on social media and says he can no longer attend events highlighting specific games because of possible DLC speculation?

I normally play a ton of games, but if people find out what kinds of games I’m playing, they have a tendency to start making a fuss over, ‘Did Sakurai just confirm so-and-so for Smash?!’ These misunderstandings spread like wildfire particularly in countries abroad.

I have to be extremely careful, so I don’t write about what I’m playing on Twitter, and I have to decline appearing on TV shows or programs that highlight a specific game.

Even when he tweets a picture from Smash Bros.

Just last week, for example, he shared an image of Samus and her gunship, and well...as you can imagine, some people thought it was a sign.

It's that Sakurai enjoys playing and talking about games, and it doesn't necessarily mean everything he says or does is a hint about the DLC fighters coming to Smash Bros!

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games.

Twitter is just toxic 12 year olds that don't understand that sakurai doesn't slave his life away to satisfy your specific smash bros wants.

i love how the few comments so far readily point the finger at every place but themselves and this site.

At this point smash characters' guessing is so out of control I'm surprised is not trolling all the way.

@ReaperExTenebris Fair point, if he trolled as I said then we would have ten articles of speculations and rumours here on NL everyday XD;;;.

Has Sakura actually given any DLC hints at any point in time since Smash 4.

Other than giving us a sneak peek on a Nintendo Direct or two, I don't think he actually ever does give any hints of any kind, people just assume he does.

@Chibi_Manny what about those chairs in the background of the smash bros direct, that confirmed Waluigi for Smash.

they could just tell us already?

At this point I don't understand the secrecy around it.

So many characters that seemed like long shots are already in.

Really, the secrecy is only necessary if the characters are so stupidly far fetched that it warrants its own announcement.

part of the fun of Smash is guessing the next characters...

The good ol' "rich people are immune to constant, unrelenting harassment" idea.

At this point I can't tell whether people really take every drop of water he spills as a hint, their perception of reality got damaged somewhere, or they don't have anything meaningful to do with their lives.

Has anyone noticed how Sakurai deliberately wrote this in his ‘Famitsu Column’, which just so happens to be an anagram of ‘Infamous Cult M’.

It’s clear from this hard-as-nails evidence that the whole Smash Bros!

serious is just a vehicle to induct us into ‘The Cult of Masahiro’, and that the remaining DLC characters will actually be our immortal souls which will be downloaded directly into the game?

Sometimes I like to pause in Smash Bros and get beaten to a pulp, contemplating Sakurai's suffering

And this all just because a too big part of smash community has the IQ of a rock and is toxic like hell (too big doesn't mean all FYI)

You did really Great work with every smash Bros

@PBandSmelly it’s not just toxic 12 year olds on Twitter - Donald Trump is on there too and he’s way older than that

@PBandSmelly I mean, remove the age limit and you just described fandoms in general, not merely Twitter

So because a bunch of people are super excited for his game and like to chat about who the next character could be (most developers would do gross things to get the kind of free advertising this game gets) I'm supposed to feel terrible for this multi multi millionaire because he makes the decision to log into social media and read these comments
