Sakurai discusses user interface in a new dev video

Masahiro Sakurai is back with yet another installment in his game development video series, and today’s feature slots into the “User Interface” category.

According to Sakurai, button config settings can be a huge pain to implement! The feature itself is an important one, but it’s always an ordeal having to make these settings all over again with each new game.

As the game industry matures, devs have seen how important user interface can be not just to the game, but for all types of gamers out there. Every gamer is different, and each has their personal and physical requirements for controllers. Letting gamers map controls for themselves is a long overdue and very welcome step forward for inclusivity.
