@Jeronan Yes, but he doesn't work for Nintendo. Originally he worked at HAL, where he created Kirby, and I believe Smash 64 was conceived while he was at HAL as well, but after that he created his own company called Sora Ltd. Nintendo may own Kirby and Smash, but they don't own Sakurai.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world, who had to subsidize a global increase in prices thanks to the morons in a single country who elected a toddler, all so that megacorps wouldn't lose out on sales in that one stupid country, we of course get no 'appreciation'.
The message from this is clear: Nintendo wants us all to elect warmongering dictators so we can get our very own regional 30% appreciation sales.

@Jeronan This isn't coming from Nintendo, though. It's coming from Sakurai, who owns his own company and is not an employee or subsidiary of Nintendo.

Thinly veiled brag, right there. "I looked around for years and couldn't find anyone who could possibly replace me!"
