Sakurai concentrating on Kid Icarus, no Smash Bros. progress until Uprising is complete
There’s been an absolutely ridiculous rumor floating around recently that a leaked document has revealed the name of the new Smash Bros. titles for Wii U and 3DS. I’ve refused to post that on this site, because, well, I think it’s ridiculous. People need to start filtering out what they find on the Internet…
But I digress! Perhaps responding to the “leaked” document, Masahiro Sakurai commented officially on the next round of Smash Bros. games. On his Twitter account, Sakurai said, “I’m currently concentrating on one title, Kid Icarus. Until this come to an end, Smash Bros. will not progress. Of course, characters have not been decided at all.”
This echoes what Satoru Iwata said at this year’s E3. Sakurai and his team are completely focusing on Uprising at the moment. And as we all know, the title was delayed to Q1 for all regions last week. That means development on Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS probably hasn’t even started.
