The legendary Masahiro Sakurai has confirmed on Twitter that he’s working on the newly announced Super Smash Bros for the Nintendo Switch. Sakurai says that he has some involvement in the game and that he and the team are working very hard on delivering it to fans.
いまはまだタイトルを発表しただけの段階ですが、黙して日々制作に取り組んでいます。内容公開、あるいは発売できるその時まで、お待ちください!! https://t.co/vnfNUoGZ0J

Give us Ridley or give us death!!1! /sarcasm
Lol XD But at least let’s have Adventure Mode again. It is vital to make the game longer than the previous one.
||We have to hunt the leakers then to prevent Lord Sakurai from losing his motivation to do it like last time…||
I thought that the reason of not putting Adventure Mode was because of The Subspace Emissary being put completely in youtube. So it was leaked?
I agree 100%, Metroid Bane. There’s no way I’d buy this game again unless it had more options for the single players (like myself). Like Adventure mode etc. However, there’s other flaws with the Wii U/3DS Smash Bros. as well, which will most likely never get fixed/changed. Like how they screwed up the (once fun) Target smash mode with something more similar to Angry Birds. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
Mister Sakurai please don’t push yourself too much
||Lord Sakurai, your power is overwhelming…||
This doesn’t make sense. How is he working on the game if it’s being developed by Hal laboratory
He can always work on a project as an independent contractor.
What ?! It has always been Hal laboratory !! Sakurai is part of the project !
No Smash 4 was developed by Bandai Namco.
Just to make things clear : Namco was part of the Smash 4 project indeed, but Hal Lab was always the main developper.
If you guys have some doubts, just turn on the game, or check the official website or the back of the cover.
Hal hade 0% part in the development of smash 4.

I’m hoping to see HAL Lab working on this new Smash
Actually, SORA, LTD. is the co-developer of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Furthermore, Sora will once again co-develop Super Smash Bros. (working title) for Nintendo Switch.
If you watch the reveal, you can see Hal and other copyright info when the “2018” appears.
Thank fuck it’s not the WiiU smash remade for switch!…. I hope there’s a story mode like subspace emissary in brawl
And please don’t put crap characters in like snake or cloud lol
Your obviously being sarcastic…
Personally the most unsense character in Smash 4 is Cloud. A character that it was never released a game about him on a Nintendo console
Snake is dead and I agree with your statement about Cloud. It’s better Sora at this point
Cloud and Snake are both among the best characters in their respective Smash games lol.
It probably is a port of Smash 4.
You’re wrong. It’s evidently a sequel for the Switch. Hence, the words in parenthesis (working title).
It’s a new game. Gamexplain did a good analysis.

Wait…..this never stated that it’s NOT a port of the Wii U/3DS Smash Bros. In fact, I was assuming it was.
Boo ya kasha!!!
I can’t wait, I’m glad it’s coming out this year.
How is your right arm now.. .. Sakurai San?
We need his right hand
Well this is a surprise since he said previously he would not be working on another smash brother’s game
He’s apparently said this quite a few times after finishing a Smash game that he wouldn’t be involved with the next one.
Lol really ? I only knew of him saying that after smash 4 especially with the injury he had
I hear he said it after making Brawl.
Translation:
“Right now we’re in a stage where we just announced the title, however I’ll remain silent and completely wrapped on development daily. Until we have more announcements on content or even when we can give a release date, please be patient.”
That sounds like a new game to me.
To me too….and it makes a lot of sense since it’s been 4 years since Smash 4 launched
either that or a heavily modified version of the Wii U game, If it is the former then there is no way it’s coming out this year.
It’ll be new like Splatoon 2 is my guess. It has been 4 years since the last one btw.
No Miiverse for Sakurai to reveal characters on.
I wonder if pacman, megaman, cloud etc will still be characters? I think it’s a given that ice climbers will be back
Why you think its a given?
If Wii U couldn’t handle 8 player Smash with 8 different Ice Climbers that use 2 separate characters with their own separate AIs, I very highly doubt the Switch is gonna be much more capable. :/
It wasnt the Wii U that couldnt handle it, It was the fact that the 3ds couldnt. both the 3ds and wii u needed to have the same characters. so they scrapped them

Totally forgot the 3DS version held the console version back.
I think we should all assume, for now, that it will be partly a port, partly new content and mechanics. If only to avoid all the whining when this ends up being the case (i.e. not an entirely new game).
Because it’s made in 4 years after the last game? Namco made the last game, not HAL and last I checked, HAL made the first 3 which the second one was made in less than 2 years for a new hardware with tons of changes and new content from the first. So this isn’t really new about a shorter wait than Brawl or 4. Besides, HAL hasn’t directly made a Smash Bros. game for over 10 years and the end of the teaser already states it’s an original game and made in 2018, not from 2014-2018. So it is new.
dont forget it took them two years to make smash bros for wii u and 3ds. they announced it in 2012 and it came out in 2014. they could have began development in 2016. the reason its probably it’s so soon is because the Wii U died so early. They have made a new smash bros for every console, idk why’d stop now.
granted, mario kart shouldn’t have been ported by that logic, but it really needed it. the game felt unfinished and was advertised poorly on the wii u
We don’t know how long Smash 4 was in development after Brawl or when it started. 2 years for two versions is far-fetched. MK8 should’ve been the 9th entry instead of spending 3 years to port the same game just to fix Battle Mode which they could’ve done for the original version but I guess the Pii U killed the game as well as Smash Bros. 3DS killed the other. Anyway, new system, new game, new breathe of life for it. I’m happy it’s a 2018 release so it can give Switch another huge sales boost.
It’s understandable to recycle some assets if the two consoles have specs in common. I do expect it will be more refined anyway, with definitely new content (especially the long awaited Adventure Mode).
He needs to take care of himself. Hopefully he’s taking more of a advisory position.
I’m glad it’s for Switch only. We don’t want to have to deal with more limitations like with Smash on 3DS.
We ask for the best of the best. Make Smash great again!
IF it’s not a port, that is.
I don’t think it’s a port with the game being subtitled ” Super Smash Bros (working title) “. Why not just come out and call it ” Super Smash Bros For Switch ” or ” Super Smash Bros Deluxe/DX?
i think i speak for everyone that waluigi NEEDS to be a character
Not really.
There is already enough people from the mushroom kingdom as it is. Now let’s wait for the next direct for the show biz
YKW? Now I’m not gonna believe him when he says “I quit” after he’s done. But still, I hope he got some rest from the last game straining his hand.
Him?
Sakurai.
mm
I agree. He should’ve at least take some time to rest a while
Persistent son of a bitch he is. lol
Guys. Don’t know if this is a port.
If it’s the Wii u remake im not buying this.
I don’t think it’s the Wii U remake with the game being subtitled ” Super Smash Bros (working title) ” and having the years 2014-2018 up under it. It’s most likely a new Smash Bros title
If this is indeed a new game, please tell me Sakurai is an adviser, not the lead developer, and if he is an adviser, that the developers will stand up to him if it’s a stupid idea or if he wants to keep Ganondorf as a damn clone. Quite sick of his ego, honestly. “I like Ganondorf this way, so I’m gonna keep him as a slower, more powerful knock off of Captain Falcon!” Oh & don’t reuse that retarded menu of his that’s he’s apparently used for way too many games. (Hurry up & actually keep your word for once & stay the fuck away with Smash altogether, though. You’re weighing it down much like Miyamoto weighs Star Fox down.)
I hope that this next game have Adventure Mode. I loved the ones from Melee and Brawl, and also a new Smash Run that make it possible to encounter with other players and CPU to attack them and steal their power up items.
cant wait for him to be a crybaby about it
Good Luck I hope we get more Fire emblem characters
Ya know, now that I actually think about it, it’s been 4 years since the release of Smash 4. There’s a very likely possibility that Sakurai and others secretly had this “sequel” to say, in development either right after SSB4 release or a year or 2 later to plan a 2018 release.
