In the latest issue of Famitsu (https://s.famitsu.com/news/202111/02239229.html) they interviewed Masahiro Sakurai on the future of Smash Bros.
Some of the highlights:
- "I am not thinking of a sequel. I am not thinking of it every time. However, I can't say with certainty that this would be the end of Smash."
- "I need to think whether I must release a Smash game or not, even if I have to do something that would disappoint users."
- "I currently don't see a path where Smash can be produced without myself."
- "Honestly, we did actually try leaving it to someone else, but it didn't go well."
- "If the series were to continue, I have to talk with Nintendo and have a debate on whether it will succeed or not. I must think about this topic seriously."
