He pretty much is, he worked for Taito for a few years. The game industry is terrible, and Touhou + whatever else he does is working out for him, so there's no need for him to bother anymore. When you sit down and take game development very seriously for decades like he has, you might as well call yourself a professional.

I'm not sure where your other comment went. It's way too easy to ask anyone how they feel about Undertale, not just ZUN. I like Undertale, but pound for pound any given Len'en game has more effort put into it (and there are four of them). There's a pretty decent number of good Danmakufu games, just off the top of my head: CtC, PT, MSD, RSS, BoSM, FoS, EBR, and potentially FFF and Pmom. There's also a handful of good non-Danmakufu games, like Len'en (except for BPoHC, of course), FDF, CM, SASC, and that other game I forget the name of. It's a miracle we have one good game in any of these groups, yet we have so many. But more importantly, Undertale doesn't really have anything to do with Touhou like the above games do. Toby played some Touhou and decided "alright, let's try some shmup elements in an RPG", but exactly 0% of the execution is anything like Touhou at all.

I've came back to this video in some time after I've seen the final direct for Smash Ultimate. I've been amazed about ZUN making a level in Super Mario Maker like that. Not to mention ZUN also reminds me of Sakurai Masahiro and he does back too. But the problem is that I kinda feel bad about ZUN being underappreciated and Sakurai being disrespected sometimes. *cough* Piranha Plant *cough*

I like how Zun implemented a super tiny hitbox, a reference to his Touhou series. :3
Zun: Now let's make the hitbox really small and make the area with less space.
I love Touhou Project. Seeing its creator make an incredible Super Mario Maker level is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before! Props to you, ZUN. You are a legend!
What a pleasant surprise to see this here! This is about what I expect from ZUN, it is indeed very similar to the games he makes, which is pretty awesome. I gotta say, the clown car hitbox mechanic is pretty clever.

ZUN creates a bullet hell in a platformer game. One of the reasons why ZUN is one of my favorite video game developers.
This is a pretty well made level.
As soon as I saw the title I knew it was going to be Mario Maker hell in one level and I'm in love lol
I would totally play this if I had this game. ZUN, you and that source of infinite creativity we call your brain...!
This is some next level hell bullet.

Mario maker is so popular the Switch is probably going to get its version. You should do more episodes of Devs Make Mario when it comes out for the Switch.
This guy and Shigeru Miyamoto should become a great anime tag team. In fact, Touhou is a huge part of my childhood like Mario and Pokemon despite being an indie game series made by a single person. To be fair, my cousin was the one who introduced me to that franchise back in 2007 and my age of 8.
this guy is a legend
The fact that this was in my recommended list tells you a lot about me.
Kudos for ZUN using the SMB3 theme since SMB3 is my favorite Mario game.
