The next Smash Bros. game needs these new and returning features
Posted on 4 hours ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Previously, we discussed a list of characters we could potentially see in the next Super Smash Bros. game on Nintendo Switch 2. Continuing from that idea, new fighters alone might not be enough to differentiate it from Ultimate, which is part of why we think the next Smash game will be all-new rather than an enhanced port. A new Smash would need to retain Ultimate’s focus on high-quality gameplay and movement options, but it would also have to include plenty of new and returning modes to set itself apart as a wholly different experience from the Nintendo Switch title.
Here are some of the modes and features we’d like to see added to the next Smash Bros. game. While we don’t have an announcement of any sort right now (nor any confirmation that a new game is even in development), one would think that there’ll eventually be an announcement, even if it’s far in the future.

Dragon Quest creator “contemplating” Chrono Trigger remake

May 2: A remake of Chrono Trigger is apparently in the works. That information comes from Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii, who allegedly shared the information at Comicon in Naples, Italy.
We do have confirmation that Horii was present for the event and was on hand delivering some sort of talk, based on various attendee reports. Regarding Chrono Trigger, he apparently let that information slip during an interview. After the host whispered something in his ear, Horii covered his mouth – indicating that he said something he wasn’t supposed to.
