Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of the Super Smash Bros series, has been working on a mysterious new game for two years

  • Sakurai's Work:

  • Developed Super Smash Bros titles from 1999 to 2018.

  • Semi-retired in 2023 but continues work on his YouTube channel.

  • Created content with a cost of $600,000 and over 520 episodes released since October 2022.

  • Project Details:

  • Worked on it from April 2022..

  • Currently in development but still no official announcement released by Sakurai.

What do you think the new game might be? Could it be a new Super Smash Bros title or perhaps something else entirely for the Switch 2?

I'm not entirely sure why this is news. Do people think he gets put into a test tube or something when when he's not needed?

He's a professional game developer, he's probably working on games constantly.

Wasn't he constantly being hospitalized due to overwork?
