He has stated multiple times that he dislikes making Smash games, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is a "Here is everything you could possibly want because I am not making these anymore!"

I'm sure Smash could continue without Sakurai just fine.

I'm not sure how they're going to top Ultimate in the future, though.

the difference with Capcom is that there was never just a street fighter ultimate

it was like street fighter 4 ultimate, signifying that it's the best version of 4, not the overall series

Idk I wouldn't call this "all out" until we see some MASSIVE unexpected newcomer out of left field like Sora or Goku or someone that cost them a fortune

Well I imagine it'll be a long time before another. 7 years passed between Melee and Brawl and another 6 for the 3DS/Wii U release, so we might not see Smash come back until next-next gen in like 2026.

And who knows what kind of tech Nintendo will be using at that point.

I genuinely hope that a long lull is the case and they give us a total revamp. Reset the roster, go with the new approach of updates to roster and open notes for balances. Ultimate will no doubt be amazing, but I want more original games by Sakurai. Meteos, Air Ride, and Kid Icarus Uprising were masterpieces.

Let him rest and have him select a worthy successor.
