Det verkar som att Super Smash Bros for Wii U blir det sista spelet i serien från skaparen Masahiro Sakurai. I en intervju med Game Informer säger han dock att det kan komma fler spel längre fram, men att han isåfall sannolikt inte är inblandad.
"I can't positively declare there won't be [another Smash Bros. game]. With both Melee and Brawl, I made those games with the thought that there wouldn't be any more sequels. Thus, I really can't deny the chance for another. However, as for myself, I don't think there will be."
Sakurai fortsatte med att berätta om den enorma mängd innehåll som finns i Super Smash Bros for Wii U och hur en uppföljare skulle behöva ha mer av allt:
"Our intention [with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U] was to provide extra merits to the game which go far beyond the sale price. In terms of scope, and in terms of sheer number of characters, we went beyond our limits long ago. And yet, if we cut the number of fighters or modes in a future game, I'm sure there would be complaints."
Det menar Sakurai är mer än han kan hantera och säger att det är som att låta snaran dras åt runt halsen. Däremot kan någon annan komma att ta över, men Sakurai är skeptisk:
"You could say that all the effort in the past to stretch out, keep pushing myself, and provide all these extra merits wound up tightening the noose around my neck in the future. That may seem like it contradicts my personal desire to keep giving gamers as much as I can, but I don't see any easy answer for it. And yet, despite that, I also have trouble picturing someone else taking my place and providing all this value-added content without me."
