It can be easy for players to forget that while developers are creating the worlds they love to explore, at the end of the day, most developers are still gamers at heart. Whether it is Ed Boon sharing his love for VR games or Tim Schafer discovering the next indie gem, there are plenty of developers out there who are more than happy to share their love of gaming, their favorite games, and go-to platforms. The latter of the three was the focus of a social media post by the man behind Super Smash Bros., Masahiro Sakurai, who gave players a glimpse of his current home setup and the consoles he has ready to turn on.Sakurai is among the most tenured names still with Nintendo, beginning his career as part of HAL Laboratory in 1990 and serving as the director on 1992's Kirby's Dream Land. His breakout title would come in 1999 with the release of the first Super Smash Bros., crashing together some of Nintendo's most iconic characters in an over-the-top, arcade-style fighting game. As the series went on, the roster expanded to include gaming icons from outside Nintendo, including Sonic the Hedgehog and Final Fantasy 7's Cloud, and culminating with 2018's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate which received regular content updates for three years after its initial release.As mentioned above, though, Masahiro Sakurai's latest update was focused on his personal gaming habits and what his current home setup looks like. He took to Twitter to share this, posting several images over a long thread showing the several consoles he has neatly organized and ready to turn on while at home. Despite his time at Nintendo, Sakurai shows he doesn't limit himself to just Nintendo consoles, either, and proudly supports his home company's biggest competitors at home.
Sakurai has the three current generation platforms –Switch, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5– at the top of his cupboard ready to go. The further down it goes, though, the further back in time Sakurai's setup seems to go with the original Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo setup on the bottom shelf and all his wireless controllers organized neatly in the adjoining drawer.
The final touch on Sakurai's setup is the power cord organization which, fittingly, matches how neatly organized the rest of the setup is. The consoles are all plugged into a mounted power strip which appears to be setup behind the cupboard with none of the cords overlapping. Sakurai takes it a step further, though, as he also labeled each plug, so he knows which is which should he need to unplug one and not confuse the PlayStation 3's power cord with the PlayStation 5's.
