Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai's enthusiastic reaction to the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement has ignited fervent speculation among fans about a potential new installment in the beloved fighting game franchise. Sakurai shared the Japanese announcement of the April 2nd Switch 2 reveal with a simple, yet electrifying, "Ooh!" While this could simply reflect his personal excitement, many interpret it as a significant hint.
Automaton reports on Sakurai's post, fueling the anticipation. This seemingly small gesture follows a series of subtle hints and teases suggesting Sakurai is working on a new project. His now-dormant YouTube channel, launched in 2022, ended with a promise of future game development, hinting at a forthcoming reveal.
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 tradition of releasing a new Smash Bros. title for each console since 1999 strongly suggest a Switch 2 iteration is highly probable. Sakurai's previous comments about the difficulty of surpassing Ultimate's scale haven't dampened fan expectations. The inclusion of iconic characters from outside the Nintendo universe in Ultimate, such as Sephiroth, Sora, Joker, and Steve, further fuels the anticipation for an even more expansive roster in a potential sequel.
