First of all, the developer noted that the game made a big impression on him Astro’s Playroom from Sonythat comes bundled with all PlayStation 5. He strongly recommends users not to skip it as it allows them to become familiar with the unique features of the controller DualSense and immerse yourself in PlayStation history with numerous Easter eggs and references.

Sakurai was also pleased that the PlayStation 5 has backward compatibility with the PlayStation 4, but at the same time he pointed to the small SSD size of the new console and the impossibility of expanding memory at launch. By transferring their game data from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5, the developer almost completely clogged up all the free space.

The game designer is hoping that storage expansion will be available soon as he contemplates going completely digital.

Sakurai is an avid gamer and owner of a huge gaming collection. In a column, he explains that storing hundreds of games on physical media is becoming increasingly difficult, so the transition to digital from this generation could be his salvation.

Finally, the hero of the news stated that it is very difficult to get the PlayStation 5 in Japan. Now the console is unsuccessfully trying to get the composer Death Stranding Ludwig Forsell and creator Astral Chain Takahisa Taura

Sakurai keeps her large game collection in separate boxes and albums.

The developer owns two houses, each with a large space set aside for play areas with multiple TVs. In the fall of 2019, the father of Super Smash Bros. said that he is the owner of six PlayStation 4, six PlayStation 3 and four Nintendo Switch, as well as more than sixty controllers for them. His collection also includes all the classic consoles and dozens of versions of the PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS.
