NBA player Kyle Kuzma has tweeted Nintendo of America and has requested that they bring Super Smash Bros to the Nintendo Switch. We all want the game on the platform so celebrity endorsements and requests can only help.
Dear, .@NintendoAmerica
Can we get super smash bros for the switch?
Sincerely, your customers.

Little does he know that the only Smash that’s worth porting over is the Wii U version… suck it Melee fans
Laughable.
Depends on your priorities. If you want an esport game, sure. laughable. If you measure it by any other standard…..
I’m pretty sure Nintendo is working on it already. I expect an announcement early next year but it’s good to have ppl talking about it
I want a burger
Nom! Me too! ^.^… on game note though, don’t port it make a brand new smash 5!!!
Why not both? Port a deluxe version while they work on Smash 5? Just have an external team do it.
I worry for Lord Masahiro Sakurai’s health if he is burdened with yet another SSB game to coordinate. We all know the kind of obsession and attention to detail he has.

Sakurai will probably not be back for Smash 5! *celebrates* No more stupid excuses for why this or that isn’t in the game! “I don’t want to do cutscenes because someone will post them on Youtube! Waah!” *facepalm*
It’s still Nintendo. I fully expect them to prioritize developer indulgence over what the players want. It takes unpopularity to the point of financial collapse to get them to do otherwise.
I say this as a huge Nintendo fan.
Is there anyone who doesn’t want Smash Bros. on Switch?
Ptobably Sony and MS fanboys that get theyre jollies off of Ninty bad news. 😕
Andrew House. Phil Spencer.
Soon my friend…soon…
It’s called advertising.
That’s Kuz speaking on his own will, not advertising.
Many times advertising is done under the hood, and just asking for a famous IP that even hos grandma know it will come on the console it’s pretty ‘suspicious’.
Yeah I highly doubt a late first round pick rookie is gonna be asked by Nintendo to advertise a game that hasn’t been confirmed yet. The only people who know Kuz are Lakers fans or Utah (college) fans. They would ask the guy being marketed globally in Lonzo Ball, not Kuz.
It could be as you say since he’s a rookie.
As if I couldn’t like Kuz any more than I do.
Given their silence so far I suspect there will be an announcement in the holidays.
Second guess: a december 2018 release date.
For me, the Smash Bros. series died with those last lousy games. No single player story mode = Lousy game. I’m not a multi-player gamer.
Super Smash Bros 5 would be great! It’d be nice if it could surpass Melee, though. Smash 4 was okay at best but Melee is still the apex of Super Smash Bros. A better Ganondorf would be much appreciated, too. I’m sick of Captain Ganondorf. He deserves better than to be some move set clone.
Ayyyyy h gon be great laker i hope he already obe of my fav lakers right now , so cool when you have some of your fav players play the console as you
At this point, they’re better off just churning out a new Smash instead of porting Wii U/3DS; Switch has enough last gen ports as it is (Mario Kart 8, Pokken Tournament, Rayman Legends “Definitive” Edition, I could go on).
I know I’m going to garner some hate for this, but, when Smash 5 becomes a thing, I really hope Sakurai is not in charge- involved, sure, since the series is of his creation, but not the guy calling the shots. Sm4sh was really held back from being something totally phenomenal. I hope Smash 5 would be more engaging than 4 was, whenever it happens.
And if you think about it, even breath of the wild was a port.
As long as Sakurai doesn’t try to keep Ganondorf as a clone, I guess he can be involved in Smash 5.
