Especially because he had no problem explaining what he has been doing in the meantime: preparing his next video game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although he has not clarified what it is about, according to Sakurai himself, his proposal for a new video game was approved around October 2021, although he could not start development until April 2022. <strong>This means that its development should take approximately two and a half years<\/strong>. This would mean that it is on the verge not of release, but of being announced, if it is a normal development for Nintendo, or an average Japanese studio, of three or four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games: Finale Special\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_qPqBilhEtI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could it be a new installment of Super Smash Bros. for the yet-to-be-announced Nintendo Switch 2? <strong>It&#8217;s something we shouldn&#8217;t rule out. That said, Sakurai himself stated in the past that Ultimate was his last Smash Bros and that he preferred to leave the franchise in the hands of the rest of the team<\/strong>, so it doesn&#8217;t seem the most likely. Perhaps a remaster or port of the Kid Icarus from Nintendo 3DS, which he has said numerous times he would love to see on home consoles, would be a possibility. Although it doesn&#8217;t seem like the kind of work that would normally be assigned to a director with a profile as high as Sakurai&#8217;s. It seems more logical to think that whatever he is working on is a new title of some kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To know more, we will probably have to wait until the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2<\/strong>. If not longer. But what seems clear is that we won&#8217;t have to worry about the retirement of one of the most valuable and selfless directors in the video game industry anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Masahiro Sakurai is one of the great creators in the video game industry.
