Last week, Sora from the Kingdom Hearts franchise was the added to the Smash Ultimate roster. According to Nintendo this concludes character additions to the game. Yes that means that the eager fans will never see Waluigi in Smash Ultimate.
Super Smash Bros. has been through a lot of changes over the years. But while the games have gotten faster paced, the core gameplay hasn’t experienced any radical changes.
With the aptly titled Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s chapter finally coming to an end, it really begs the question, where can Nintendo take the series after this? In the next game will they just continue to expand the roster and focus the gameplay on online play? Will they expand the game modes and offer more robust single player experiences?
Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai has been with the series since its inception. In a lot of ways Ulitmate feels like Sukarai’s magnum opus. Will he continue to work on the series or will he pass the torch and work on other projects?
Its hard to imagine a Smash Bros. game without Sakurai, but that may eventually be a reality. One thing for is for sure. The next installment needs some changes. It feels like the whole series has led up to this game. It feels like there shouldn’t be another game coming, but when it inevitably does, I hope that it is different enough to feel like it own game and not just a bigger, crazier version of Ultimate.
