Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai is again publishing a new column in this week’s issue of Famitsu. It’s actually a bit of a special one, as there’s a conversation with manga artist Saho Yamamoto. It’s also Sakurai’s 600th column in the Japanese magazine.

The full magazine isn’t available just yet, but as usual, some of the tidbits have leaked online. A major highlight is that Sakurai states that he had plans to present a new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC fighter to a publisher at some point, but it’s being delayed due to the coronavirus.

The next tournament for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been announced. This time around, it’s a spiky vs. rounded theme. That carries over into the characters as well as items for use in battle.

You’ll be able to partake in the new Smash Bros. tournament starting March 6. It will last for a total of three days.

As mentioned earlier this week, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai has published his newest column in the latest issue of Famitsu. In the article, Sakurai talks about the Fighters Pass Vol. 2 and the eventual end of DLC, how he does not handle whom is chosen to be a fighter, his role, the future of the series after Ultimate, and more.

We’ve prepared a full translation of the column below the break.

Usually when a developer is asked if they’d like to see one of their characters or series appear in Super Smash Bros., they give an enthusiastic response. That was the case with Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon, who was recently asked about the possibility of the fighting franchise being represented in Ultimate.

Boon said that he’s personally interested in the idea, noting that “it would be like a stamp of approval.” He added that he “would love to see something like that” and how it “would be a really cool thing to see.”

Boon’s full words:
