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's simple "Ooh!" accompanying the Japanese announcement of the April 2nd Switch 2 reveal has ignited fervent fan anticipation.
While the post itself is ambiguous, several subtle clues suggest Sakurai may be preparing a new Super Smash Bros. game. His now-defunct YouTube channel, launched in 2022, concluded with a hint at a new project slated for future unveiling.
AnswerSee ResultsAlthough no official announcement has been made, the overwhelming success of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (over 35.88 million copies sold) and Nintendo's history of releasing a Smash title for each console strongly suggest a Switch 2 iteration is highly probable. Sakurai's previous comments about the difficulty of surpassing Ultimate's scope haven't dampened the excitement, given the inclusion of iconic characters from franchises beyond Nintendo's own, such as Sephiroth, Sora, Joker, and Steve. The anticipation for a new Smash title on the Switch 2 remains high.
