Wreck-It Ralph 2 hasn’t been officially announced, but the original film’s director has once again hinted that it will happen.

IGN asked Rich Moore if a sequel is still in the cards. In response, Moore laughed and said “maybe, maybe” before mouthing the word “yes.”

He also mentioned:

“I think the world of that first film is so big and the characters are very rich and I just think that they have more stories in them. The end of the movie felt like a launching point. It felt like it wouldn’t be straining to tell another story in that world as some films are. To me, I feel like I can definitely see where it would go, and I think the audience kind of felt that way too.”

As for including Mario in a potential sequel, Moore added: “In the first one we didn’t have Mario in that movie, so it would be great to have the great Mario in a second one if we did it.” Thanks to a “good relationship with Nintendo,” this might be possible.

Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai is back with another Famitsu column in this week’s magazine. This time around, Sakurai tackled a few questions from fans.

Here’s a summary of what was shared:

What’s better: printed or digital manuals?

Sakurai points out that he only reads manuals when he’s really stuck, so either way is fine. But for digital versions, it’d be better if they load up as fast as possible. (Note: Many people consider printed guides to be more convenient because they’re not located on the same screen).
