Even after he created both Kirby and Super Smash Bros., industry legend Masahiro Sakurai doesn't think of himself as a hit maker, or think of his games as hits. Instead, he says he looks at other people's games and feels that he has to "keep pushing" himself.

In an interview with 47 News that's been translated by GamesRadar+, Sakurai discusses what he would have done had Kirby failed to become the international mega hit it is today, and he doesn't think his life would be any different.
