    It was very impressive hearing him describe the exact process he used to create his channel -- I'm personally impressed by the note that, after he recorded his performances he actually revised his script to match what he actually said (before sending it to editing/localization) -- it's a peculiar pet peeve of mine when a video HAS its own transcript but (unintentionally) doesn't match the spoken audio.

I am also thankful he spent so much time making the weekly videos for all this time while still working on the side on his game that is high dedication to us gaming fans/ inside devs can learn from overall. Pretty sad to see him go, but still glad he brought all of his knowledge to share with us this whole time. I'm also happy he is willing to bring us content whenever he can as well when he has the time to like he stated in a recent video. which makes me happy as well that he's not totally obandining it just yet.

    I thought Sakurai was cool before, but now he's up there with Toby Fox as someone I look up to when it comes to game development/design n' stuff. The latter has a lot of nostalgia tied to him (As well as being the one who got me interested in actually doing game dev in the first place), but the former I just hold a lot of respect for (Not to say I don't for Toby as well. Lol), *especially* now I know this whole series was done in the way it was. Completely out-of-pocket, completely free to watch, and simply because he wanted to make a positive impact and share the knowledge he's gained over the years.
    TL;DR: Sakurai is cool as hell and I really look up to him. :)

    Considering he's 51 now, it makes sense for him to slow down for the sake of burnout and physical health. I just hope Nintendo will allow him to get the rest he needs, before asking him to work on a new Smash Bros.

    I would say that Sakurai at least have some moderate wealth. That is because he holds the rights to Kirby. Which basically means that any Kirby merchandise sold gives him at least some money. Its hard to know how much Nintendo shares the profits of their IPs , and many accounts imply it's not very much, but still, Kirby sells like hot cakes. That makes me admire the man even more. He could walk the GameFreaks path and make money on Kirby until the end of the world, but he chose to leave his own character in the hands of Nintendo and work at indie solo projects .
