Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai is back at it with a new “Grab Bag” video – this time discussing the “most incredible year for the game industry”. In his own “personal opinion”, it’s 1986 – a year that marked the beginning of multiple major franchises, the arrival of the NES in Europe, and the origin of the legendary Konami code.
