As a lifelong gamer who has grown up with the iconic characters from the world of Nintendo, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions upon learning that Masahiro Sakurai is set to air the finale of his YouTube series on October 22nd, 2024. For over two years, Sakurai has been sharing his wisdom and insights into game design, providing us with a unique glimpse into the mind of the man behind some of my favorite games.

Masahiro Sakurai, the mastermind behind “Super Smash Bros.,” has revealed that a special finale episode of his YouTube series about creating video games will premiere on October 22, 2024. Since August 2022, Sakurai has been actively sharing his thoughts and expertise on game design through his YouTube channel, “Masahiro Sakurai’s Game Development Insights.” Fans of the renowned creator enjoy watching his perspectives on various gaming topics.

For approximately two years and a few months, Masahiro Sakurai has been running his YouTube series. His channels in both English and Japanese combined have amassed close to 1 million subscribers. In 2024, Sakurai shared that he plans to wrap up content production for his YouTube channel, with the final regularly scheduled video going live on October 15, 2024. However, fans can look forward to a special “final episode” airing towards the end of October instead.

Masahiro Sakurai announced via a post on Twitter and YouTube that the grand finale of his channel will be streamed on October 22, 2024. This special episode is expected to last more than 40 minutes, significantly longer than most of Sakurai’s previous uploads which are typically under five minutes. Due to its timing, international viewers might find it challenging as the broadcast will start at 8 PM in Japan, equivalent to 8 AM EST or 6 AM PST. However, he assures that the video will be accessible for viewing on his YouTube channel following its premiere.
