Sakurai says he doesn’t develop the types of games he plays

This quote comes from the latest edition of Japanese gaming magazine Nintendo Dream…

“I’ll freely admit that I don’t create the sort of games I actually play. Maybe I don’t push my own interests in my games, but I do see a need to make an effort to fulfill the needs of beginners and broaden horizons. It’s not a matter of one approach being better than the other; doing it either way is fine. Some people push their own visions in other art forms, besides.” – Masahiro Sakurai, Super Smash Bros. Brawl director

I have to admit that I’m surprised by Sakurai’s words. Pretty much all of the games he’s worked are titles that core gamers generally enjoy.
