The next Smash Bros. game needs these new and returning features
Posted on 1 month 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.
