Sakurai doesn’t think he’ll work on another Smash Bros. game
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 30 Comments
Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai addressed the series’ future in the latest issue of Game Informer.
Speaking about whether or not we’ll see another game in the series, Sakurai mentioned that he “can’t deny the chance for another.” He adds, however: “as for myself, I don’t think there will be.”
Sakurai spoke about how the goal with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U “was to provide extra merits to the game which go far beyond the sale price.” Limits have already been surpassed in terms of scope and content.
Sakurai does mention towards the end of his comments: “I also have trouble picturing someone else taking my place and providing all this value-added content without me.”
