Sakurai threw out Dolby Surround from Kirby Air Ride because it added two seconds to the game's boot screen, prioritizing user experience over advanced features.
Sakurai emphasized the need to shorten boot times in emulated arcade games, aiming for immediate access to the game to replicate the arcade-style experience.
Sakurai's concern for player attention led him to veto advanced features, understanding that even a small delay per user accumulates significantly over time, impacting many players.
