Feb 25,25

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 franchise. Sakurai shared the Japanese announcement of the April 2nd Switch 2 reveal with a simple "Ooh!" While this could be general excitement, fans are interpreting it as a significant hint.

Automaton reports on Sakurai's post, highlighting the fan frenzy. While the post itself is ambiguous, it adds to a series of subtle hints suggesting Sakurai's involvement in a new Super Smash Bros. project. His 2022 YouTube channel, which concluded with a statement about working on a new game slated for future reveal, further fuels this speculation.

While no official announcement regarding a new Super Smash Bros. game has been made, and Sakurai previously expressed uncertainty about surpassing the success of Ultimate, the immense popularity of Ultimate (over 35.88 million copies sold) strongly suggests a Switch 2 sequel is highly probable. Nintendo's history of releasing a new Super Smash Bros. title for each console since the N64's original release in 1999 further supports this expectation.
