Masahiro Sakurai Urges Fans to Focus on His Games in Rare Interview Ahead of Kirby Air Riders

The Kirby and Smash Bros. creator outlines a preference for privacy in comments tied to a new, Sakurai-supervised manga biography.

Overview

  • In a rare Game*Spark interview translated by GamesRadar+, Sakurai says players should focus on the games rather than who made them.
  • He states he has always wanted to live an unassuming life and refrains from promoting himself.
  • Sakurai warns that becoming a “laughing stock” online would be problematic, so he often declines interview requests.
  • His remarks coincide with an EastPress manga biography, a 160-page volume he supervised that chronicles his career.
  • The interview arrives as Kirby Air Riders is set to launch tomorrow on Nintendo Switch 2, with early reviews already available.
