Sakurai on the making of Smash Bros. Ultimate and the future
Posted on 6 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
Masahiro Sakurai posted another video on his YouTube channel today, which delves into the making of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and once again includes a brief comment about the series’ future. A good amount here was known previously, but it’s worth a watch in any case.
Sakurai started out by talking about the concept of bringing back all fighters and general development such as how the team didn’t need to start over completely since Bandai Namco was brought back and there’s “some similar architecture” between Switch and Wii U. The team was able to move on right from Bayonetta as DLC for Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS right into Smash Bros. Ultimate. Sakurai came up with a lengthy proposal regarding new feature and adjustments, which even included the possibility of VR support before Nintendo Labo was announced.

Sony will soon be launching the PlayStation Portable, a device that lets users portably play PS5 games. That alone may have some comparing it to Switch. However, Sony boss Eric Lempel says it’s not a rival to Nintendo’s console or the Steam Deck for that matter.
Speaking with BBC, Lempel said “It’s a different proposition and really just something unique for the PlayStation audience.”
