Talk:Masahiro Sakurai

message: The page states that he last uploaded videos on his youtube channel in 2023, but if you go to his channel he uploads videos regularly (at time of writing, yesterday). I suggest the section for last updated be removed. It would be a pain to update this page every time he makes a video anyways.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBloxMan (talk • contribs) 18:31, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The "last updated" doesn't refer to Sakurai's activity on the channel. It's referring to the infobox itself. It means "as of May 19, 2023, the English has 548,000 subscribers, etc." That information can afford to be updated sporadically. ThomasO1989 (talk) 18:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

message: What is the point for including games where Sakurai was credited under "Special Thanks?" Is it because his gameography doesn't look varied enough without it? If you included special thanks for every developer on wikipedia you'd be here forever. I think these credits should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.44.202 (talk) 08:59, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

message: There is concern in regard to the cropped version of the image. Let's not revert until we have reached an agreement. The cropping omits the portrait's balanced trim; Darkoneko of course means well, but we're settling for less by altering this. Furthermore, it creates senseless empty space above Sakurai to accomodate for height of a person who isn't there. Until there is another up-to-date image of this man, my Wikipedian judgement says we leave it.  Red Wirehat 12:12, 15 Jan 2007 (UTC)

message: The Kirby game Kirby Super Star for the SNES later had a remade version called Kirby Super Star Ultra, and I think the remake deserves to be put in parentheses next to the original in the Kirby Games dropdown menu. Also, in the same menu under the Characters section, other notable characters such as Marx, Magolor, Dark Matter, and Galacta Knight should be added. 207.72.1.122 (talk) 13:17, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

message: * What I think should be changed:"Sakurai sent out a farewell statement at Nintendo Direct and decided to take a break on October 5, 2021, after revealing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's final downloadable content character, Sora." should be changed to "Sakurai sent out a farewell statement at Nintendo Direct on October 5, 2021, after revealing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's final downloadable content character, Sora."
* Why it should be changed: There's no mention or citation of Masahiro Sakurai himself announcing a break in the source that was provided. I also can't find anything supporting the claim. The header of the Kotaku article is even called "commentary" which as far as I know is their equivalent of an opinion piece.
* References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

message: What is known (not necessaribly referenceable):
# She has been working on his games.
# They married after Smash Bros. for Wii finished development.
# At some point prior, Mr. Sakurai's company Sora consisted only of him and "his assistant".
What is not known:
# Wether the assistant was his wife-to-be.
# Wether they left HAL simultaneously.
# Actually, wether she is that same person.
# Wether she has any part (position, foundership, etc.) in his company.
So yeah, there's some guess-work to remove from this article. PtM 22:59, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
