GotGame: It’s been 5 years since the last Smash game came out, and now we’re only one week away from our first glimpse of the new Smash game. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty damn stoked. Obviously, the most exciting aspect of a new fighting game, especially a crossover fighting game, is anticipating new characters. Who will join Nintendo’s latest fighter? Here are our top 10 candidates.
The Verge Writes: "Nintendo is giving its OLED Switch a Smash Bros.-themed paint job. The latest version of the console comes as part of a new bundle with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and includes gray Joy-Cons that feature the game’s logo."
COGconnected's Jacob Greenwood interviews Super Smash Brother's player MKLeo, the best player in the world, about Genesis 8.
Super Smash Bros. series boss Masahiro Sakurai is unsure if the franchise can continue without him.
The latest issue of Famitsu, the Japanese gaming magazine, includes an interview with Sakurai discussing the future of the fighting series after Super Smash Bros. Ultimate received Sora as the final piece of DLC last month.
It's one attack button and one jump button. I think Nintendo can handle that without him.
Yeah..just like every other fighting game series that started in the nineties and its creators are gone since ages from the companies. ...is he OKAY?
Guy has created a monster that is sure to outlive him. Smash is one of the largest IPs on the planet so nintendo will eventually have to find a new director. Hopefully the new guy prefers melee to brawl.
I was thinking, surely SOMEONE, but Sakurai really is a unique guy. He really loves his games. He learned to play two characters at the same time. He has the mind of a really dedicated player and understands really well. Smash really would be different with anyone else.
I think Nintendos only option is to maybe build off of Ultimate and eventually port it forward to their new consoles. Adding and balancing a new character every year or so would keep us all happy while preserving Sakurai’s swan song.
Arnold Schwarzenegger for Smash Bros.
Booster!
I would love to see Sora or Roxas.
They should keep Lucario is they put Mewtwo because Lucario is one of my top three Pokemon.
Pretty stoked if Takamaru is in. I don't know the game but seeing Japan-only characters is pretty interesting, hence why Marth became my main in both Melee and Brawl.
Hopefully after they show Smash at E3, they will launch a website similar to Smash Bros DOJO. Either I'm excited for this game, now I just got to pick up a Wii U.
