I seem to remember Sakurai saying that this would be the last one. I guess he either doesn’t have much of a say or that it made too much money to pass up on another….

Sakurai and Hayo Miyazaki drunk betting who will retire first
Sakurai isn’t even old, he seems like the kind of guy who could go on making games for another 45 years haha
The thing is it seemed like Sakurai wants to do other things, but has no choice but to work on smash 28/9.
Yeah :( Then I wish he could retire from it. I’m fine with Ultimate being the last one, Smash will live on through the community.
I can’t wait for people to make an emulated online mode like they did for Melee!
He wanna make indie game though, so yes he will work until miyazaki age lol
Maybe my memory is faulty but I seem to recall every single sequel was going to be the last one. Them Nintendo saw the profits and cuts him a bonus so he turns around and says one more.
He said that before Ultimate too
Sakurai's independent. Nintendo always goes to him first when it's time to make a new entry, but Sakurai's under no obligation to accept. Nevertheless, he keeps coming back to the table, so it's probably fair to assume that he enjoys directing this series.
Sakurai remembered that if he wasn’t making Smash games, he’d have too much time to sleep; SIX whole hours! Of SLEEP!
Maybe this is a hot take, but I really wish we could just let things die. Smash Ultimate works quite well as the finale the series deserves. I could see maybe 20 or 30 years down the line they do a ressurection with some sort of spiritual successor. But I'm against seeing another smash anytime soon. There are a lot of franchises that I think should adopt this mindset, it's not just smash.
Edit: I also think in the interim developers could work on long dead franchises like how Destiny is bringing back Marathon.
Idk that makes sense for like story driven games where things have a definite ending. For a fighting game I don't really care if they keep pumping them out since it's not like detracting from anything major. People just want to play as like slippy or geno or something. People will just keep playing the good ones, like how melee has survived.
Exactly, so I think it's fair to let the franchise get some air before it comes back into the ring so to speak. Let those games shine and be cherished, pick up a different lost franchise in the meantime. But I can definitely see how others would disagree.
I think it’s quite fair to argue melee or brawl being the finale.
New gamers start every day. They want to play these games. Especially something like ssb. 20-30 years is too long to wait for another game.
So let them play the older games. The point is to let the franchise die so that something else can be born in it's stead. Instead of rinse repeating the same game over and over again slightly tweaking the variables and considering that a significant change.
What are they going to call it? Ultimate is already final-sounding. Ultimate 2, Now With More Ultimatums?
New! Super Smash Bros.
It worked for Final Fantasy, they're all the way to 16!
R-Type Final 3
Super Smash Bros XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition
They make a franchise reboot and call it Super Smash Bros. Origins
Super Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 6.4 Final Melee Brawl HD ReMIX for Wii U
Ultimus Maximus
And they add ultramarine as playable character
I'm curious to know if they'll be able to bring the full cast back for another.
Just add Isaac and it becomes better than ultimate for me, lol
I know it's not what's being talked about but whenever I hear someone ask for Isaac in smash I think it's the one from Binding of Isaac
That's where my brain went first no worries (that's years of Northerlion burnt into my skull) lol but they're probably talking about Issac from Dead Space. Right?
Isaac from Golden Sun, which my avatar depicts if you have them enabled, lol, but good guesses.
I'm happy someone is as passionate for Golden Sun as I am. Always loved that franchise. Isaac would be cool, I was stoked when he at least showed up as an assist trophy. Seems to be the most attention that series is going to see for a long time unfortunately.
Yeah, they keep acknowledging that it's a popular series, it got brought to Wii u and even is coming to the switch as one of the first GBA games, but they won't do anything else with the series :(
Ahh, very cool. I don't know anything about Golden Sun, but regardless I hope they put your character in Smash!
I'd love to see them keep supporting the current game with new characters and updated online support.
Give Sakurai a school. Let him rest and stop making joints. ♡
