I’ve genuinely enjoyed watching the “Creating Games” series that Masahiro Sakurai started a while back. It’s been an insightful look into the mind of perspective of one of the most legendary video game creators ever. This is the man who brought Kirby to life, made Super Smash Bros. one of the best fighting game series ever, and more. So, when I heard the finale was coming, I was truly sad. Now, I’m even sadder because Sakurai himself went onto Twitter to reveal when the last episode’s release date is!
As you’ll see below, Sakurai stated that the final video will release around the 15th. However, there’s a twist…
As mentioned previously, I'll be wrapping up production of new episodes for my YouTube channel soon. Right now, it's looking like the last scheduled episode will release on Tuesday, October 15th.
However, I'm also working on a special finale episode to come afterward, so please… pic.twitter.com/6cyx3XO0nw

That’s right! We’re getting a bonus episode! Oh, Sakurai…we don’t deserve you. Seriously, though, this is great, and I’m very curious as to how he’ll end things. Yes, there is speculation that he’ll reveal what he will work on next gaming-wise, but that’s not a guarantee! Let’s just let Masahiro Sakurai be himself and end things how he feels is best.
