Ultimate’s DLC"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"Sakurai<\/a><\/figure>\n

Masahiro Sakurai is dedicated to making Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/strong> the best fighting game it can possibly be. That’s why he’s working around the clock, and sometimes even risking his own health<\/a> to meet certain deadlines. Although there’s a “high probability<\/a>” of the second round of DLC fighters not proceeding as scheduled due to the coronavirus outbreak, at the moment, that’s all he’s really focused on.<\/p>\n

What happens, though, when DLC fighter development for Smash Bros. Ultimate finally wraps up? Not even Sakurai himself knows what his plans are at this stage, according to a recent comment he made in the latest issue of Japanese magazine, Famitsu (thanks for the translation Oni Dino<\/a> of Nintendo Everything).<\/p>\n

\n

Right now, all I can think about is producing DLC for \u201cSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.\u201d After I finish that, though, it\u2019s a total blank slate.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

A total blank slate could be anything<\/em>. Sakurai has previously noted this latest entry could be the last<\/a> \u2013 or at least his last, but he said this during the Wii U era as well. Falling back on other franchises close to his heart, it’s evident Kid Icarus<\/a><\/strong> fans would love to see a follow-up to the 3DS entry Kid Icarus: Uprising<\/a><\/strong>. Or how about another title based on his own pink puffball Kirby or even something new?<\/p>\n

Tell us what you’d like to see Sakurai do (other than take a nice long rest) after he’s done working on the second round of DLC fighters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
