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 entry in the beloved fighting game franchise. Sakurai shared the Japanese announcement of the April 2nd Nintendo Switch 2 reveal, adding a simple, yet electrifying, "Ooh!" While this could simply reflect his personal excitement, many interpret it as a subtle hint towards a new Super Smash Bros. title.
This isn't just wishful thinking. A series of smaller hints and teases have fueled the anticipation. Sakurai's own YouTube channel, launched in 2022, concluded with a cryptic message hinting at a new game project, promising a reveal "sooner or later."
AnswerSee ResultsWhile no official announcement has been made, the overwhelming 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 generation since 1999 strongly suggest a Switch 2 iteration is highly probable. Even Sakurai's previous comments about the difficulty of surpassing Ultimate's scope, which included iconic characters like Sephiroth, Sora, Joker, and Steve, haven't dampened the excitement. The possibility of a new roster and enhanced gameplay on the next-generation hardware keeps the hype alive.
