Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Kirby and Super Smash Bros, was able to visit the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto, Japan ahead of its official opening date on October 2nd.
Taking to X to share his experience, Sakurai posted an image of the singing Toads displayed in the museum, along with some of his thoughts after having toured the place.
Roughly translated, the post reads:
“I went to the Nintendo Museum for a sneak peek of the museum.”
“It was very interesting to see the history of the games that I have been involved with, both as a player and as a creator. I’m sure everyone has their own history and memories [with these games], but as for me, I couldn’t stop looking at it!”
Sakurai, who said last December that he is “still creating games” has worked closely with Nintendo throughout his career, bringing one of their most iconic mascots- the pink puffball that is Kirby- to life, letting Nintendo characters and other gaming icons duel it out in Super Smash Bros, and resurrecting Kid Icarus from the dead in the 3DS classic Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Earlier this month, he debunked a popular theory on the origins of Super Smash Bros- which claimed that he had been inspired to make the series after destroying a stranger in an aracde King of Fighters match.

His Super Smash Bros. games are like a Nintendo museum in their own right. Not surprising the man that shows love and dedication to video game history would want to see the site.
If by “shows love and dedication to video game history” you mean “would rather put in a rando and a spoiled rodent in brawl than Mega Man, and waste half the DLC slots than put in Waluigi”, and by “the man” you mean “this garbage excuse of a human being”, then I concur. The sooner Sakurai passes the torch, the better.
