Smash Bros. Creator Teases Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, Exciting Fans for New Game

Feb 21,25

Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros., reacted enthusiastically to the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement, sparking fervent fan speculation about a potential new entry in the beloved fighting game series. Sakurai shared the Japanese announcement of the April 2nd Nintendo Switch 2 reveal with a simple, excited "Ooh!" While this could be mere enthusiasm, fans are hopeful it signals a new Super Smash Bros. title.

Although the post itself is ambiguous, several subtle hints and teases suggest Sakurai may be preparing to unveil a new Super Smash Bros. game. His 2022 YouTube channel, subsequently closed, hinted at a new project he was working on, promising a reveal "sooner or later."

While no official announcement regarding a new Super Smash Bros. game has been made, and Sakurai previously expressed uncertainty about surpassing the scale and quality of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (which boasts an impressive roster including Sephiroth, Sora, Joker, Steve, and Alex), the immense success of Ultimate (over 35.88 million copies sold) makes a Switch 2 sequel highly probable. Nintendo's consistent release of a new Super Smash Bros. game for each console generation since 1999 further strengthens this likelihood.
