Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai has chimed in on the future of the iconic Super Smash Bros. series. Read on below to learn more:
When Famitsu asked Sakurai whether he can create a new sequel to Smash, he immediately said “Impossible!” multiple times. However, he later elaborated that neither he nor Nintendo have finalized plans for such a sequel. Here are some of the highlights from Famitsu‘s interview with Masahiro Sakurai:
- “I am not thinking of a sequel. I am not thinking of it every time. However, I can’t say with certainty that this would be the end of Smash.”
- “I need to think whether I must release a Smash game or not, even if I have to do something that would disappoint users.”
- “I currently don’t see a path where Smash can be produced without myself.”
- “Honestly, we did actually try leaving it to someone else, but it didn’t go well.”
- “If the series were to continue, I have to talk with Nintendo and have a debate on whether it will succeed or not. I must think about this topic seriously.”
