It stages fights in between numerous personalities mostly from the Nintendo Franchise business Gaming world. Because the first opus Super Smash Bros. Published in 1999 on Nintendo 64, the series remains to expand. In addition to improving graphics, the variety of personalities and also levels raises with each new episode and new modes are showing up.

The creative director of Super Smash Bros.ultimate and the godfather of the series as a whole, Mahavira Samurai, has warned that there are no plans for a new game of the series, at least not for the time being. This month, SUPER SMASH BROS.ULTIMATE turned three years, only a few weeks after the support for the exclusive of Nintendo Switch best-selling and acclaimed by criticism. Since then, fans of the franchise have begun to speculate about the next delivery, and many have the impression that a continuation was already being prepared, but it turns out that this is not true. According to Samurai, not only there are no plans for a new game, but fanatics should not expect another game.

I really can not think about the prospects for the future at this time. If Nintendo decides that he wants to do another, and he offers me the work, then it is when I started thinking about it, said Samurai, who has not yet confirmed that 'I will work on the next delivery when and if it is done. When you say 'going back to the series', it seems that there will be another Super Smash Bros. Title, but currently, there are no such plans. It would be better not to assume that there will always be another.

Samurai continued, noting that he not only he is not sure if he will return to work in the series, but he will continue making games.

«Apart from that, you may not continue creating more games, as I could take a different path. As for participation in the gaming industry, there are several ways to do it. I like to keep an open mind about what I should do and take a look at all the different possibilities.

As you know, Samurai has talked about withdrawing both the series and the development of the game in the past, but until now, Nintendo has continued to recover it to convert it into a platform fighter. That said, Samurai has now reiterated some of these points, hesitations and concerns several times, which suggests that there is some weight behind them, which is not only disappointing news for the fanatics of the series, but also worrying.

As for the series, there were four years between SUPER SMASH BROS.ULTIMATE and its most recent predecessor, which is why many assumed that a new delivery was already being prepared. However, Nintendo not only supported Super Smash Bros.ultimate more than previous deliveries, but there have also been larger gaps between launches in the past, including gaps of six and seven years. In other words, it is not nothing out of the ordinary either that is not yet working on the next delivery.

Super Smash Bros.ultimate is available through Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite and Nintendo Switch OLED. For more coverage about the best-selling platform fighter, including not only the latest news, but also the latest rumors, leaks and speculation, click here.
