    I don’t think there was any tease. He is a game director, he is not retired, of course he is working on a new game.

    As he has mentioned, once a game is ending, director is already working on pre-production of next game.

    I always knew Sakurai worked hard to deliver high quality games, but after watching this video, it’s insane.

    Creating a whole YouTube channel with 260 videos just because he had a few free months. Doing the majority (pre editing) in just a few months, scripting and recording nearly ever video in advance.

    Absolutely wild.

    Switch 2 on the horizon, eh?

    So…Smash Bros. Ultimate + to come out holiday 2026 or spring 2027?

    Literally just fix the online experience and that game will live on forever.

    “I received a request to write a game proposal, which I finished at lightning speed,” he said.

    Free slate auteur game from Sakurai? Shadow development and surprise release?

    He will be missed. Everyone of his games were the most fun out of anything on Nintendo systems. He deserves a good retirement
