Jupiter has supported Nintendo platforms with multiple Picross games, and it sounds like the company will be present with whatever is coming next as far as the Switch successor is concerned.

In a new video published to YouTube today, he mentioned that he “can’t really imagine a Smash Bros. title without me.” Sakurai added that, currently, there isn’t someone that could “take the reigns” from him.
