Is he the Greatest Vidya Director of All Time?

Question

Is he the Greatest Vidya Director of All Time?

wasting 15 seconds of screen time just for it to show "director: masahiro sakurai" with his stupid symbol

He's one of the vidya directors most full of himself, at the very least.

Kirby's Adventure is the best NES game I've ever played, so that seems about right
Also why isn't Smash Wii U & 3DS included? Didn't he also directed that game?

No. He's never even made a good game.

Praise lord Sakurai!!!

this but unironically

I liked 6 of his games

he has only a slightly bloated ego. air ride and kid icarus were giga flops

That doesn't make them good.

The output is decent. Kirby is a fucking blight on this dimension though. As a person he is an insufferable literal faggot. There is zero chance he doesn't take dicks up the ass and sucks dicks and drinks cum.

He created Kirby so I would like to refer him as GOD

Art is subjective. If I like it then it's good.

Greatest Vidya Director of All Time?

Everything here is nothing but sequels.

And yet both are great

Not if Air Riders has no modern kirby representation

Even mario kart world is introducing insane rep from games like mario land

okay fuck smash Wii U/3DS then I guess
to answer the question I like his games, they aren't my favourite but they're good

dude really thinks he's the kojima of games because he made some mario kart for babies on the gamecube

racing game part of the racing game is bad

arthritus simulator that came with a mandatory plastic stand to avoid inflicting pain and lawsuits

he's a true visionary

Tell that to the many starving artists out there and over the centuries.

Vidya isn't art

If I think it's art then it's art
are you saying art is only good if it has mass appeal? you must be a big fan of marvel movies

kojima of games

I wouldn't play any of those games

not my problem some people have shit wrists, guess fast paced games are bad for people with poor reaction times too

wtf is that argument? art is still art

I'm saying that art is distinguished by its impact on history, not its appeal. Sakurai's Kirby falls into neither impact nor appeal, the most memorable Kirby games aren't even Sakurai's.

As far as tendie games goes.... I guess? Most of the stuff he worked is on for babies

Superstar is the best Kirby game and he directed it

Ok I will, they will keep starving and I will keep having fun.

It's really not. It's a bunch of ok miniature games.
If you're starving, you're not having fun. You're not fooling anybody by starving yourself for the sake of spite so I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Milky Way Wishes alone is longer than the previous two kirby games combined

I wouldn't play any of those games

You literally can't read or you don't even understand what you're saying.

False, don't fall for commie rhetoric.
And even if that was true that means that what that anon said about him never having made a good game is true

Subjectively he is up there depending on who you ask but objectively a lot of the things he designs do not match what he has in mind or were poor choices in retrospect.

Melee somehow being one of the most popular competitive games ever despite Smash being a party game, so much so that he had to intentionally gimp Brawl by adding in anti-competitive features that everyone didn't like

Air Ride's best mode being City Trial instead of the main racing mode

his falling block puzzle game did not capture the same addictive and obsessive craze that Tetris or PPT can say it has

Kid Icarus: Uprising literally needed another add-on to the 3DS to be played properly

Also with mainline Kirby while a lot of his decisions would survive into the modern Kirby games, the Dark Matter trilogy was better than Kirby Super Star. You also can't credit him with much more than that because he stated that he'd go consult for games and not get credited, leaving it ambiguous to what his actual impacts to the industry were.

Yeah, the previous two Kirby games were short NES and Gameboy titles.

trvke

the Dark Matter trilogy was better than Kirby Super Star

What?

He's right, they were.

As long as you aren't a wristlet then KI:U is a kamige

Can I get like, an explanation on that or?

All of this games fucking suck. Kirby’s Dreamland was literally a 30 minute long game. I don’t get why they ever gave him more games to direct after that. Was it some kind of nepotism?

As if Nintendo didn't know his name carries weight now that he won best youtube of Japan.

Kojima
Sakurai
Kamiya
Ueda

These are the kings

yes but he is shackled by his dedication to making baby games. He has the ability to make the most hardcore games in the entire industry but he choses not to.

He directs compelling action cinematics, he micromanages animations, effects and every aspect of the mechanics of high level combat design, this skillset is ideal for creating the best stylish action games ever made but he choses kirby instead. If sakurai had ended up at sony or capcom I think he would be up there with kojima, miyazaki and mikami with global unanimous praise but he currently only occupies this weird space where autistic tendies praise him.
