The gaming folk hero teased that he was working on something new <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sora_Sakurai\/status\/1561911110214860803?s=20&#038;t=14ZcTYkYzsR3HBDAJrFyGA\">earlier this week<\/a>, and now you can super smash that like button and subscribe to his new channel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCv1DvRY5PyHHt3KN9ghunuw\">Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3GERZI\">As of this writing, there are three videos: one that\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7M-DnOIeasA\">all about the channel<\/a>, one covering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=frNXwWqZpkI\">what games Sakurai<\/a> has worked on (like one of the DS greats, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UCo0okSzCsY&#038;t=154s\"><em>Meteos<\/em><\/a>), and one diving deep about how to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OdVkEOzdCPw&#038;t=10s\">in-game pauses for certain effects<\/a> (like \u201chit stop\u201d moments you might see in <em>Smash <\/em>when landing a punch).<\/p>\n<div id=\"t3vM4t\">\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OdVkEOzdCPw?rel=0&#038;start=10\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"9t0wOu\">Sakurai, of course, is no stranger to appearing on video; he\u2019s been Nintendo\u2019s primary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o\"><em>Super Smash Bros.<\/em> presenter<\/a> for years, and consistently finds ways to make even the smallest details about new fighters extremely interesting. Now that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22823897\/masahiro-sakurai-interview-super-smash-bros-ultimate-nintendo-switch\">he\u2019s done<\/a> with the mammoth project that was <em>Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em>, it\u2019s perhaps no surprise that he\u2019s transitioning to a new video series on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Ds8gLJ\">Sakurai says we shouldn\u2019t expect him to start streaming (sadly) \u2014 instead, the videos will be focused on \u201ctopics like game development and what makes games fun,\u201d he says in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7M-DnOIeasA\">his \u201cAbout This Channel\u201d video<\/a>. He\u2019s aiming to keep the videos short, between two and five minutes long. <\/p>\n<div id=\"QeiWcA\">\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/frNXwWqZpkI?rel=0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"utzspk\">He\u2019s already teasing that he\u2019ll be able to show some <em>Smash Bros.<\/em> development builds and design documents that he\u2019s written, so it seems as if we\u2019ll get some rare behind-the-scenes peeks at big Nintendo games. Although Sakurai is running his videos by Nintendo, says the company \u201cisn\u2019t involved in this channel\u201d and that the series is a personal project of his. He isn\u2019t planning to include ads in his videos. <\/p>\n<p id=\"bpLihm\">Unfortunately, even Sakurai has to prepare for potential problems that other YouTubers are on alert for. He says that if rights-holders aren\u2019t happy with the footage he includes in his videos, \u201cI\u2019ll do what I can to set things right.\u201d He also expressed some worry that because he\u2019s uploading separate versions of each video in Japanese and English, that could run afoul of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2018\/10\/12\/17967698\/youtube-duplicated-content-partner-program\">YouTube\u2019s duplicate content policies<\/a> and cause videos to be taken down. <\/p>\n<p id=\"wUSewj\">But as you\u2019d expect with any YouTuber trying to get a new series off the ground, Sakurai concludes his about video by asking viewers to hit the subscribe button. While he concedes that\u2019s \u201ca very YouTube thing of me to ask,\u201d he says he won\u2019t be asking again in future videos. <\/p>\n<div class=\"c-float-right\">\n<aside id=\"a8XZwc\"><q>I couldn\u2019t hit the subscribe button fast enough<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"xYO0jR\">Personally? I couldn\u2019t hit the subscribe button fast enough. I even turned on the notification bell. The videos he\u2019s released so far are fantastic; I had never consciously thought about hit stop before, but now, I\u2019ll be looking for it in every game I play.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8MV1Pn\">After <em>Ultimate<\/em>, I was content to <a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/masahiro-sakurai-isnt-thrilled-with-being-a-meme-1847492388\">never ask Sakurai for anything ever again<\/a>. Now, I\u2019m eagerly waiting for his next video to drop. <\/p>\n<aside id=\"3HZK7R\">\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/24\/23320915\/masahiro-sakurai-youtube-channel-creating-games\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/24\/23320915\/masahiro-sakurai-youtube-channel-creating-games<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of games like Kirby and Super Smash Bros., has revealed his next big project: a YouTube channel.
