The gaming industry is known to be highly competitive. Every studio is always in the works to bring out new titles that will pale others in comparison. However, that doesn’t mean that gamers and developers can’t appreciate good games when they see them. Famous game developer Hideo Kojima was enthralled with Starfield and loved its potential. Now, another legend from the industry, namely Masahiro Sakurai, has come forward showering his praise on two newly released titles including Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has just been publicly released and fans are knee-deep into the game. The latest title by Insomniac Games is being lauded for its features including the fast travel system. While this game might be at the center of attention right now, another game featuring possibly the most iconic video game character has also been released on the same day. Along with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Masahiro Sakurai, the legendary Japanese game designer also applauded Super Mario Bros. Wonder for its design.

Industry legend finishes two new games and publicly lauds them!

Masahiro Sakurai is a name uttered with reverence by gamers around the world. Sakurai is considered the main brains behind hit franchises like Kirby and Super Smash Bros. Naturally, the designer’s words amount to a lot when it comes to video games. Days after the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Sakurai has taken to social media to exclaim his fascination with the Insomniac Games title.

Sakurai took to X, formerly Twitter, to claim that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder are both incredible games. He took the opportunity to show his gratefulness to the devs for making the games. The latest Mario game is a 2D platformer developed and published by Nintendo.

While Sakurai thinks two games of such stature clashing over their release dates is unfortunate, he is just happy that these games are here. Sakurai also thinks more fans should play the games for themselves to understand why he places them both on such pedestals and considers them to be ‘masterpieces’ by their own rights.
