    Switch 2 on the horizon, eh?

    So…Smash Bros. Ultimate + to come out holiday 2026 or spring 2027?

    Literally just fix the online experience and that game will live on forever.

    I always knew Sakurai worked hard to deliver high quality games, but after watching this video, it’s insane.

    Creating a whole YouTube channel with 260 videos just because he had a few free months. Doing the majority (pre editing) in just a few months, scripting and recording nearly ever video in advance.

    Absolutely wild.

    I don’t think there was any tease. He is a game director, he is not retired, of course he is working on a new game.

    As he has mentioned, once a game is ending, director is already working on pre-production of next game.

    “I received a request to write a game proposal, which I finished at lightning speed,” he said.

    Free slate auteur game from Sakurai? Shadow development and surprise release?

        You joke but I would kill for a new Kirby Air Ride game.

        You wouldn’t believe my disappointment when they had a Nintendo Direct years ago and threw a “one more thing” at the end which opened with Kirby Air Ride music and Kirby riding in on the warp star, only for it to be a Smash Bros character reveal. The video they put on YouTube after the fact opened with the Smash logo, but it didn’t during the Nintendo Direct.

          I would also love a Kirby air ride game… But seeing how they did multiplayer-focused gamrs like Mario tennis and golf, I don’t want today’s Nintendo to make it, if that makes sense.

    He will be missed. Everyone of his games were the most fun out of anything on Nintendo systems. He deserves a good retirement
