Sakurai planning some change for next Smash Bros., Wii U/3DS dual support will be key
Masahiro Sakurai will be making some changes for the next Smash Bros. games, and the link between the 3DS and Wii U titles will be key. He appears to realize that they cannot simply add in more content – such as new characters and items – and expect to ship the product without introducing new elements.
Sakurai told IGN:
“As you noted, there is a certain dead end we come to if we just expand the volume of the game. I intend to change direction a little as we go. The key to that’s going to be its dual support for 3DS/Wii U.”
Sakurai expanded on his comments a bit more, and stressed that the Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS connection will be used “as the game’s central axis”.
He said:
“I’m really just getting started on this so it’s going to take time, but I’ll come up with something that uses that link as the game’s central axis, so I hope you’re looking forward to it.”
