Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai has reignited excitement among fans by re-posting the announcement for the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, scheduled for April 2, with a simple but enthusiastic "Ooh!" This brief expression of excitement has sparked speculation and hope among the gaming community that a new installment in the beloved Super Smash Bros. series could be on the horizon for the next-generation console.
As reported by Automaton, Sakurai shared the Japanese version of Nintendo's announcement, adding fuel to the fire of anticipation. While the post itself might not confirm anything, it comes amidst a series of subtle hints and teases that suggest Sakurai could be gearing up for a major reveal. In 2022, Sakurai launched his own YouTube channel, which he later wound down after hinting that he was not finished with game development. His final video on the channel intriguingly mentioned a new game project that might be unveiled "sooner or later."
Despite these tantalizing hints, no official announcement has been made regarding a new Super Smash Bros. game. Sakurai himself has previously expressed uncertainty about how the franchise could surpass the monumental success of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the Switch. This game not only boasted an extensive roster of Nintendo characters but also included crossover icons like Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7, Sora from Kingdom Hearts, Joker from Persona 5, and Steve and Alex from Minecraft, among others.
However, the likelihood of a new Super Smash Bros. game for the Nintendo Switch 2 remains high, given the phenomenal sales success of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which has sold over 35.88 million copies. It's also noteworthy that Nintendo has consistently released a new Super Smash Bros. game with each of its consoles since the original game's debut on the N64 in 1999. As fans eagerly await the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, the possibility of a new Super Smash Bros. announcement continues to fuel excitement and speculation.
