Following this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Super Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai has shared a photo of the dinner gathering held with other famous game developers.

Jokingly described as a gathering of the “Avengers of game developers” by Sakurai, the photo includes the following prominent figures in gaming, many of whom attended the gathering last year:

• Kazutaka Kodaka — Danganronpa
• Yoko Taro — NieR
• Toby Fox — Undertale
• Shinji Mikami — Resident Evil
• Hideki Kamiya — Devil May Cry, Ōkami, Bayonetta
• Suda51 — No More Heroes
• Keiichiro Toyama — Silent Hill, Gravity Rush
• Jiro Ishii — 428: Shibuya Scramble
• Fumito Ueda — ICO,  Shadow of the Colossus

This may be the final gathering of this sort held at the Tokyo Game Show, as the Game Designer’s Award he was in charge of presenting will be discontinued as of this year. Stay tuned for more as it comes.
