Two years ago he was saying he felt Smash Bros Ultimate was his final smash bros game.
So if this ends up being a smash bros game, we'll forever know in the future that this guy is full of shit.
people change their minds. its a healthy thing.
Ok, but if two years ago he was saying Ultimate was his last smash bros, but also two years ago he was working on a future smash bros.....then he's full of shit.
Here's hoping he's full of shit. I'd be pretty happy to get another Smash Bros game haha
Well good news sorta. Rivals of Aether 2 just released and it's the best feeling plat fighter ever to be released (depending on what you want from the genre)
A lot of times when translating articles, and going for click bait headlines, things get mangled. I was searching for where Sakurai may have said he was not making another smash game, and I can't find anything like that. On the contrary, I am seeing articles saying things like he can't see another smash game happening without his involvement: https://www.si.com/esports/fgc/new-super-smash-bros-game-sakurai
But regardless, it's easy to get burned out on something and feel like you never want to touch it again. Then a few years later your feelings on the matter change. It's happened to me. Doesn't mean someone "is full of shit".
I mean, Sakurai's said that about every Smash game since Melee.
