A week from today, the Nintendo Direct: E3 2018 presentation will be held. Among other titles, we can expect a full blowout of the new Smash Bros. game for Switch.

Longtime Smash Bros. developer Masahiro Sakurai tweeted about the presentation earlier today. He mentioned that he’ll have something to show, and that it’s been a long time. In other words, it sounds like Sakurai will be appearing during the Nintendo Direct, though he didn’t say so explicitly.

Sakurai was often present during past Smash Bros. presentations. The last time we saw him was for the final Smash Bros. Wii U / 3DS presentation in December 2015.
