The Price of Games - Masahiro Sakurai

Smash Bros. Creator Masahiro Sakurai Believes Video Games Are “Really Cheap”

tombfan570d ago

Haven't seen the video, because i don't have time, but if that's the actual statement, i agree.

Paying $60 - $80 dlls for something that has been made up by hundreds or even thousands of people through a period of 3 - 8 years and that has way more work than some movies or art forms and it's also interactable is cheap as hell.

I've always compared a game with movies or even food, there are some dinners that costs more than $60-100 dlls and we just ate for 2-3 hours, gaming in the other hand is something that it's forever and we can have a great time with it.

That's pretty much Sakurai's position, yeah. And he's right.

gold_drake569d ago

you eat for 2 to 3h? respect ha.

i mean hes not wrong, but its still alot of money.

Masahiro Sakurai is extremely talented, but his opinion is that of someone who lives in a country without poverty. When for the vast majority of the world thinks exactly the opposite.

Abriael570d ago

So since there's "Poverty" things should be valued less? What a weird take.

PS: Japan has less poverty, but saying it doesn't exist means knowing nothing about Japan.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX2d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H92d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro2d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos1d 10h ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger882d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos2d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris2d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day
