This is the wrong trope. Evidently his games have a wide range of tones, but Da E alone doesn't work for that.


----
!!Tropes present in Sakamoto's games:
* DarkerAndEdgier: The ''Metroid'' series, with its gritty sci-fi setting and elements of horror, and the ''VideoGame/FamicomDetectiveClub'' series, with its DetectiveDrama mystery plots, are darker than both Nintendo's typical output and most of Sakamoto's other games. He typically works on much more lighthearted, kid-friendly, and often off-the-wall games.

One of his most prominent early director roles would be ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid''; following the departure and death of series co-creator Gunpei Yokoi, Sakamoto would direct and/or produce future ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' games, focusing most of his attention on the SideView {{Metroidvania}} games while having a much less direct supervisory role for the ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeTrilogy'' made by Creator/RetroStudios (usually just to make sure the latter keep things consistent with the overarching lore of the series).
