Nope, working on a successful franchise at this point meand nothing to me. I fond all of Sakuraid non smash games to be far more creative and interesting than a fourth time party fighter. No doubt Smash will be a good game but I'd rather see Skaurao get carte Blanche to do anything but dmadh bros. Its a bit telling that he didn't even know he was making a smash game.

To put it simply I kind of wish Samurai would tell Iwata to eff off and join the awesome well known developers working on indie games or moving development houses.

LOL you're a good friend of mine but I literally disagree with everything you said in this thread.

Spell check replaces Sakurai with other fun words.

I find his non smash games to be more fund. In theory If Luke to see go the Kamiya or Suda51 route and make a ton of different weird and intresting games with no cares about sales.

WAT!

I don't know I think his talent should be wasted making a bunch of hit and miss titles like Suda51 does.

He should take a rest since smash is taking a toll on him, maybe then he might stop whining about how hard it is to do his job.

Who's to say that his games would be hit or miss. Remember with Grasshopper only a few if the products are directed by Suda. He does a lot of producing and writing but the actual dirclecting out of his hands.

Plus a Sakurai studio could easily be the quality of Platnuin Games.

I think maybe we should let Platinum and Suda actually succeed more before we let Sakurai do that

I do agree that his other games are more interested but Smash Bros is at least a once per generation title and Melee is my favorite fighting game so I'm pretty fine with. Shocking I know.

Besides thanks to the power of nostalgia and actual marketing he was able to turn a cinematic schmup, 3rd person (NOT COVER, THANK CHRIST) shooter, comedy story anime game into a million seller, which is pretty cool.

In short: He'd rather see Sakurai do other projects than Smash Bros.

I wish they could clone sakurai 100 times over and fire all their other studio developers and just replace them with 100 sakurai's.

Why would we need 100 people with arm pains running Nintendo?

Ah, burn. I really like Sakurai, but I like that he's one of a kind. TBH, if Sakurai were to try and develop games like "X", Fire Emblem, or Metroid, they would probably suck. I know some people think he's god, but I thought the Kirby and Kid Icarus games he did were kind of mediocre. One of the worst parts of all of them? Story. Just look at Subspace Emissary.

And as funny and quirky as Kid Icarus was it really didn't say anything other than "Look! We can joke constantly throughout the entire game and then try to act serious in the last ten minutes! Can we make a psychologically deep game like one of the Xeno series now? " My answer? No, no you may not (I swear I thought Hades was a good guy by that point with how much joking he did). At best you could help with Kingdom Hearts. It also likes to spend a lot of time being funny, but not actually doing anything.

I just hope the Melee fanboys don't kill him with their whining.

to be fair, Sakurai is responsible for one of the only good episodic anime that isn't half anime references.

and while I have issues with Kid Icarus Uprising's comedy and story....it is still better than most video game stories, let's be honest. (even in a post-Bioshock Infinite/Last of Us world, this is still true). I'm pretty sure I could make a case for most Kirby games being average AT WORST by video game standards.

I liked Kirby as a kid but don't find anything to come back to now. But he is Sakurai's Mario, and there are so many Kirby spin-off games like Air Ride that are good, and he and his buddies are charming characters. Dedede has always amused me, and he especially has in Brawl.

Kid Icarus's dialog took Star Fox-style banter and kicked it up a few levels. I loved it. If he were to work on another franchise, I think Star Fox could be a good fit. I do agree that I wouldn't choose him to work on a game with a serious story, but I don't consider that a point against him. I'm not a huge fan of overly serious stories, myself, but there is certainly room for both types of stories.

Come on, friends,
To the bear arcades again.

If he's even interested in bringing anything else back, let it be something he has more free reign to work with that doesn't have much as is.

I'd really like to see someone doing something with Ice Climbers.

C'mon, Nana and Popo have been given updated looks through Smash Bros. yet they pretty much have done diddly squat otherwise.

I'd find that to be more of a pleasant surprise than a lot of other suggestions, honestly.

Sakurai's a bit hard to read, but he HAS stated that after Smash launches (and he takes a vacation to heal, because I pity that poor man for having to work so hard with that injury and all the jeering "fans" aren't making it any easier)... He's said that after the game launches, he'll be working a lot on retro-actively balancing. I think that when he's done, we'll see him return to a Kid Icarus project of some sort, but that could be a while. If anything, it's possible the Wii U Kid Icarus stage is foreshadowing. (Or it could just be there so Pit has a home stage on both versions.)

On that note, a lot of people have (once again) come under the misconception that Sakurai said all handheld stages will be base on handheld games and all console stages based on console games. This is not the case. He said that the console version's stages would be more focused on console games, but never said there wouldn't be reps for handheld games in there, somewhere. He said similar about the 3DS version, of course, but the point is that the Kid Icarus stage could also mean absolutely nothing, since there's nothing stopping him from making a generic Kid Icarus stage for Smash 4 Wii U.
