Masahiro Sakurai sat down with us at NOA to answer some questions regarding future games, and we wanted to share what he had to say!

First question: Who on the Smash Roster wins the twerk-off?

Sakurai: "I just sat down, why would you ask me this? What is wrong with you people? Princess Daisy."

We ask that when Sakurai shows up in tomorrow's Nintendo Direct, you all be respectful and not question why he is green.

Smash Bros and Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai says Japanese developers should focus on making games for Japanese players, rather than trying to appeal to Western audiences.

Sakurai argues that overseas players don't want 'Americanised' games from Japan.

Sakurai: I can't say anything without anyone reading too deeply into it...

Toby Fox: We're people-who's-tweets-are-over-analyzed pals!

Sakurai: I guess so...I guess so?

Sakurai, você tem uma missão:

Sakurai: "Machines in Air Riders are sentient when sharing the will of their Riders"

Oh that's cute!

Sakurai: "So we added screams when they get destroyed."

There it is, the Kirby lore I love. Seasoned with a pinch of fucked up.
