Forums - Sony - Masashiro Sakura Reminds us to Wish PS3 a Happy 5th Brithday!

Happy 5th birthday, PlayStation 3
Off to kindergarten you go, PS3.
11.11.11 / 10:40 / Sal Romano

You’ll never guess who reminded us!

“Today is the 5th anniversary of PS3,” wrote Project Sora boss Masahiro Sakura on Twitter.

Sakurai’s studio is currently developing Kid Icarus: Uprising for Nintendo’s 3DS. His studio will also develop the next Super Smash Bros. game for Wii U and 3DS. Sakurai, himself, is known for his role on the Smash Bros. series, as well as several older Kirby games. That said, he’s not afraid to play consoles that don’t sport the “Nintendo” label.

PlayStation 3 released in Japan on November 11, 2006, following a North American launch on November 17, and a European launch on March 23 the next year. Its still-going lifespan has seen the birth of plentiful hit franchises and games, including the Uncharted and Resistance series.

As November 11 passes by, and you pop a copy of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim into your system, take a moment to pat that ol’ PS3 shell and wish it a happy birthday.

Maybe buy it a cake, too.

I hope he picks up some tips on how to implement good online play in his games from these other console games because Brawl's online was a pile of wank.



Goes to show that people working for the corporations don't have as much of this silly loyalty to them as fanboys do.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials 

 

Conservatives:  Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.

I didn't have much respect for Sakurai to begin with, because I don't like his games, but this is really unacceptable behavior he is showing there. Not going to buy Kid Icarus: Uprising now. I was on the fence with this game, because forcing 2D classics to become 3D games rarely works well, but this news seals the deal. Or rather the other way around, if it's taken literally.


You dont like Kirby!?

No.
Screw Sony and their consoles.





Just kidding. But seriously though, I am not wishing an electronic machine Happy Birthday.
