Masahiro Sakurai opened English and Japanese YouTube channels a few months ago focused on video game development.
In an update on his YouTube socials, the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director revealed how the Undertale creator Toby Fox kind of played a part in the process. Toby passed on details for a localisation company called '8-4' who are known for work on English localisations as well as translating games into Japanese.
This is not the only news we've heard about Toby Fox and Masahiro Sakurai in recent times. Last month it was revealed how the Undertale creator would be replacing Sakurai as the Weekly Famitsu column writer.
Sakurai recently surpassed a number of milestones on his YouTube channel. His Twitter account now also has over one million followers. And Toby Fox is currently chipping away at his new game Deltarune. Unfortunately, we won't be seeing any new chapters this year.

Honestly, it's nice to see how new developers are able to establish and make connections in the industry. I'm only aware of Fox's work, but it's good to see young blood working with the old guard.

So, Sakurai/Kirby cameo in the next Deltarune chapter?
Somewhat unrelated? But I was recently at the Undertale cafe in Anahiem, and they ran out of Sans Soda. They offered a different drink instead, but re-named it "The Reigen Supreme"
I think we’re getting enough on toby fox right now
@PBandSmelly This is the first time I’ve heard of the Undertale cafe. I looked it up, it’s not too far from me and runs until October 10th. Sounds fun, I’ll have to check it out!
@Handy_Man
I'm in line right now, I reccomend you get there 2 hours before opening. I'm not kidding. The line wraps around for miles.
So are those two besties now? They're totally gonna go clubbin' and discuss that long awaited Kirby x Undertale crossover now right?
I wonder why that is. Cool, but still...
8-4 also published the physical console versions of Undertale in Japan. That's the version I own cause it was cheaper than the alternative (and it has English on the cartridge anyway).
8-4 localization on Fire Emblem, is better then Nintendo of America localization
