Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros., reacted enthusiastically to the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement, fueling speculation about a new installment in the popular fighting game series. His simple "Ooh!" accompanying a repost of the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal date (April 2nd) has sent fans into a frenzy. While this reaction alone is inconclusive, it adds to a series of subtle hints suggesting Sakurai's involvement in a new Smash Bros. title.
As reported by Automaton, Sakurai's seemingly innocuous comment follows his 2022 YouTube channel closure, where he hinted at working on a new, yet-to-be-revealed game.
AnswerSee ResultsWhile no official announcement has been made, the immense success of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (over 35.88 million copies sold) and Nintendo's history of releasing a Smash Bros. title for each console strongly suggest a Switch 2 iteration is highly probable. Sakurai's previous comments about the difficulty of surpassing Ultimate's scope, despite its inclusion of iconic characters like Sephiroth, Sora, Joker, and Steve, haven't quelled fan anticipation. The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct may finally reveal the truth.
