One absolute legend who has helped bring the world of Nintendo to life over the years is Super Smash Bros. creator and director Masahiro Sakurai – so it’s no surprise he’s been given the chance to tour the whole thing ahead of its official opening in Kyoto, Japan on 2nd October 2024.
Yes, that’s right – instead of having to reserve a ticket or wait in long lines, he’s already had a look around – showing off a photo of the singing Toads. Here’s a rough machine translation of what he had to say, and spoiler alert… it sounds like he had a fun time as both a creator and player:
Masahiro Sakurai: “I went to the Nintendo Museum for a sneak preview of the museum. It was very interesting to see the history of the games that I have been involved with, both as a player and as a creator. I’m sure everyone has a different history and memories, but as for me, I just wanted to keep looking at it!”
