Why did nintendo think this is a selling point?

I cant imagine another developer slapping his name at the end of his game's trailer.

sakurai is the piece of shit developer that overpowers a dozen DLC characters over a base roster of like 70. zero integrity.

dude really thinks he's the hideo kojima of games

Because gamers are retards that worship business men that rip them off and treat them like celebrities. It's embarassing.

why did nintendo think this is a selling point?

Because Sakurai only makes bangers.

Case in point

all he's known for is directing a series of party games where the whole appeal is seeing foreign IPs
I haven't ever seen anyone talking about air ride except to make fun of the US box art

Kojimbo 2 Electric Boogaloo

Can't wait for the inevitable interview where Sakurai claims he didn't want his name on the trailer like that, but is actually the one who had final say and did nothing to remove it.

Because he has an army of faggots ready to buy whatever shit and suck him off for being the genius behind Smash Bros and it's le epic celebration of video games.

No one cared about Air Ride back in the day, if it was brought up it was shat on. Now zoomers seem to claim it's a masterpiece because some video essayist probably said so.
It was fine.

Nintendo are actually delusional enough to think their names have the kind of power that legitimate auteurs have. "It's Muggajugga Chingchong, director of super baby diaper party 47!" -said no adult ever.

this is an impressive new level of seething from the usual suspects

What? No. This game can't have been popular or well-loved. It wasn't within MY sphere of knowledge or experience, and since I am the god of this world everything has to revolve around ME and MY opinions!

Why is narcissism such a terminal issue with zoomies these days? Are we seeing the fruits of the "participation trophy generation" in action?

Your life does not matter. Mine does. Sony IS gaming.

Kirby, Smash and Kid Icarus are/were fun games

calling anyone narcissistic other than the dude slapping his name on a game trailer as if it meant anything

Your dumb opinion doesn't matter.

YOOOO, THAT'S THE SMASH BROS DUDE

That's why

I’m a zoomer that liked Kirby Air Ride when it was out

He was the kirby dude before that, and still is, it seems.

False, see

Because it is one. I would not be nearly as excited for Air Riders if Sakurai wasn't the director.
He always delivers.

False, see

Air Ride sequel with the guy in charge who hasn't worked on Kirby since Air Ride and has made system sellers for the past 4 Nintendo consoles

It's not complicated

Because the original creator of the franchise returning to direct the sequel to the last game in said franchise he directed is a selling point, it's not out of the norm for a company to advertise a product that way. TMNT Last Ronin was initially advertised as a reunion of the original creators of the franchise

because it is

Kojima? Kamiya? Zampella? Benzies? Single devs are used as selling points all the time

It's inherently narcissistic shit, you'll never see a Half-Life 3 trailer ending with

DIRECTOR: GABE NEWELL

Dumb Europoor.

Why does Nintendo think sticking the name of the dude who's attached to their only good games is a selling point?

Sakurai made the trailer

are you underage OP? your posting style throughout the thread reeks of retarded narcissistic teenager

1. Because it unironically is whether or not you wish to accept it.
2. While Nintendo obviously has veto power and chooses what goes into their own showcases, the trailer was made by Sakurai himself. This is Sakurai advertising himself and his studio.
They've got a strong working relationship with Nintendo, but Sakurai is not a Nintendo employee and has his own company. If he wants to be a brand, why should Nintendo say no?

That's not for you, that's for Masahiro Sakurai, and not to make him happy, but as a reminder that he can't run, he can't hide, he can't just become a youtuber.

When it's time to go back, its time to go back.
And if he don't, nintendo know people that will make him come back.

False, see

"Maybe if i change my face on the internet by some black dude, they will leave me alone"

I dunno man what about putting your name on the title

What is it about Nintendo that makes its haters such desperate idiots?

Why are tendies the whiniest drones imaginable?

What is it about nintendo that makes bootlickers defend the most evil and greedy company in human history?

The fiercest nintendo haters are nintendo fanboys that were betrayed and locked on the time chamber for 10000 year.

Also don't ask why vados is pregnant, she just is ok?

Hope you enjoyed your Thursday off, piggy, because next Thursday's gonna leave you hollow.

this needs to be updated

game developer's game he didn't work on

They have timeless classic IP's that everyone loves. Sony has none.

To help differentiate it between the rest of the yearly Kirby slop.

This thread reeks of shitty samefagging

It's good to know that the guy who directed the first Kirby air ride is doing the sequel. That way you can more easily assume there might be passion behind it

Sonygro is seething

Correction: Sony had some, plenty even, but chose to abandon nearly all of them.

Anyone here watch his Youtube videos? I think they're pretty cool.

self-promotional crap that doesn't teach you anything, basically every video is him going on about answering emails and overstating about how valuable his input was regarding something, usually nitpicks like that

show me a trailer with their name as a focused selling point

Because Sakurai created Kirby and this is his first real involvement with the series in over 20 years.

Because all his games are good and even his lower budget titles are insanely polished and stacked with content

they were interesting when it was actual behind the scenes stuff.
the kojima tier "I invented video games" type shit... not so much

No idea.

Hey guys here's the director of the game for those who know him

Anon Babble: I FUCKING HATE YOU AND HOPE YOU DIE

thinks the peak of videogaming is holding up while Troy Baker reads a script

They're not super in-depth since they're about more broad topics than specific problem instances, but it's about the same as an introductory course in game design. A lot of the concepts seem simple, but are either unknown or neglected by many indie developers.

It sold me on it, so they got one more person than they would have

Smash Bros man

Also advertising the creator of the series actually returning to his series to make a new title

This is just like Capcom making a point to announce Okami 2 would basically also serve as Clover studio reopening with Kamiya at the helm

kek

Was the feedback "she is not showing her ass enough"?

No one cared about Air Ride back in the day, if it was brought up it was shat on.

Okay zoomer what the fuck are you talking about

everyone in the industry hates these know-it-all faggots

False, see

Quit crying, piggy

you must be new around here

see my post where I say I don't like it

ok
and?

No one who isn't a pedophile likes it. Fucking die.

Quit crying, piggy.

oh you're that eric guy or whatever huh

Literally every dev in the 80s and 90s did this. You, back when games weren't shit

How is it supossed to be a selling point when it's just showing who the director is?

I swear this guy's are just obsessed with hating shit even if the criticism doesn't make sense.

More games should use names of developers as a selling point instead of dangling memberberries. I don't care about [beloved game finally getting a sequel/remake], I care if it's the same people who made it good in the first place.

Ran away, huh, usual suspect?

I don't think, and neither do you. The difference is, I know. Therefore I don't have to think. You neither think nor know. You will never know ANYTHING.

Still proud of this incoherent schizo babble?
