Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai announced his new YouTube channel, “Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games”, the channel has seen nothing but a constant surge in subscribers. Sakurai has been gradually rolling out new YouTube videos for the channel. One of them is about frame rates. According to Sakurai in the video’s description, “frame rates can sometimes play an important role in measuring time in games, too, though not as often as in years past”.
