Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros., reacted enthusiastically to the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement, sparking fervent speculation among fans about a potential new entry in the popular fighting game series. Sakurai shared the Japanese announcement of the April 2nd Switch 2 reveal with a simple, excited "Ooh!" While this could be merely personal excitement, many believe it hints at a new Smash Bros. title.
This isn't just random speculation. Several subtle clues suggest Sakurai is working on something. He launched a YouTube channel in 2022, only to conclude it after hinting at a new game project, promising a future reveal.
AnswerSee ResultsWhile no official announcement regarding a new Smash Bros. game exists, and Sakurai previously expressed uncertainty about surpassing Ultimate's success (a game featuring characters like Sephiroth, Sora, Joker, and Steve), the immense popularity of Ultimate (over 35.88 million copies sold) strongly suggests a Switch 2 sequel is highly probable. Nintendo's consistent release of a new Smash Bros. game for each console generation since 1999 further fuels this anticipation.
