We are the ones that thank you Sakurai! For being such an incredible person, dedicated and inspirational! Having this channel as an avenue into your work ethic and creativity helped and guided me through many choices I've made in my life already, so I wholeheartedly thank you and your work, not to mention for creating one of my favorite gaming franchises of all time!

I do not know whether Sakurai reads these comments, but if he does: Thank you. They're an incredible resource. They're especially great for ensuring that everyone knows at least a bit about every other aspect of game development, easing communications, or just giving inspiration for something to pursue. It's incredible that someone with so much experience is putting all this information out there for free (so you don't have to get a job in the industry to learn these things).

I really appreciate your dedication to sharing your knowledge of games and just giving good life lessons in general, all without shaming other developers and studios. It's so refreshing, and you're leaving behind some timeless advice.

Having two videos a week from someone like you is a one in a life chance. You make a great work that certainly is valuable and will influence game developers for years to come! I'm so grateful you take your personal time and funds to build such a project that benefits to everyone!

I'm grateful for these videos! I hope this series remains accessible for as long as possible! You've said the channel's wrapping this year, and I'm grateful it's lasted this long into the year! We might just make it to December!

Cause I always forget to watch these, I basically have the entire series to binge later on. Lol. Definitely glad these exist though, I'm sure they've been super helpful for plenty of people. :)

Thanks again Mr. Sakurai, somehow Kirby was one of my first games I bought with my own money as a kid in the 90s. It was second hand with a few other games but still, one of my favorites. Thanks for not giving up on yourself, all these years!

Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games
Today marks the two-year anniversary of my YouTube channel!
Time certainly does fly, but I’m glad I was able to keep making these videos for you all. Thank you for watching!
At this point, I’ve released over 240 videos. I prepared a special episode, “Development Secrets of the Original Kirby” to celebrate the 100th video, but I forgot to do the same for the 200th...
I’m planning to wrap up new episodes at some point this year—I’ll make an announcement once the date’s been set.
