Kirbyism

A Video Game terms relating to Game Design.

Kirbyism is a term coined by game developer, Masahiro Sakurai, who's behind the Kirby and Super Smash Brothers franchise. The term refers to a specific game design philosophy that Sakurai has when developing games, where he creates games that appeals to both those who may have never picked up a controller and those who have been playing video games their entire lives.

"Man, this fighting game is very simple in design, yet I can't help but feel as if there is a depth in terms of gameplay; therefore, it must've been designed with Kirbyism in mind."
