SmashU and 3DS Last Smash Games?

As long as this one sells well, it will continue. Even with his injuries, he can sit back and let someone else direct while he supervises XD.

Just think of how old the franchises of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat are.
I think the series will evolve till it will eventually merge with other franchises.

 

[Mr.Universe]

Even though Smash isn't the traditional fighter, I still feel like it's one that will always get renewed like the others. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the quality decreases after Sakurai leaves. He really is dedicated and great at making the Smash series.

 

[EnthusedPanda]

Sakurai seemed burnt-out by the time Brawl was in development. I think there are interviews somewhere that feature him speaking about not especially wanting to even make Brawl.

Wasn't he basically talked in to making Smash 4, as well? I worry he's not got his heart in to the series, or at least hasn't since before Brawl's completion.

Even if they don't sell too well, the people that buy them would usually buy consoles just for them, so they are still worth it for Nintendo.

This is why I bought a Wii U - Zelda and Smash. There is absolutely no other reason. It would have been debatable if one of these titles weren't coming to the Wii U. I will enjoy other games like the Mario games and maybe some other like Rayman, but I would not have bought it console had it not been for Zelda and Smash.

 

[Zonderion]

Sure Sakurai may not make the games anymore, (insert reason here). But would we still buy the games? I might buy the 1st one after Sakurai leaves, and if it isn't up to par, I see the franchise dying. It would be like if Eiji Aonuma quit being involved with the Zelda games... I fully believe they will go downhill if he quits.

I vote for a total of 6 releases. I think Sakurai will make one more, then he will quit. They will bring someone else in for Smash 6, and it will fail. Thus, no more smashes...


Edit: Hopefully I'm 100% wrong. =(

 

[Xigger]

Nah. Sells too well, Nintendo can idolize their history and games, and they've been very clear that they would resort to other companies and means if Sakurai would not develop it. Brawl would have been a remake of Melee, and Smash WiiU or 3ds would be by another company. We probably wouldn't have two versions either.

 

[edde]

hope theyre not

 

[Pyra]

Brawl would have been a remake of Melee

I feel like some moron is going to mistake that and attempt to start that stupid B vs M argument again.

 

[Luigi player]

There will always be Smash, since it's so popular. If Skurai won't continue doing the next ones, someone else will take that job.
Smash will only die if Nintendo dies or something.

There ARE lots of morons.

There ARE lots of morons.

Well with some sects still permitting multiple wives.... oh you said MORONS! Well don't I feel stupid.

Look what happened to Goldeneye with the 64. Rare did an incredible job with it. Perfect Dark was awesome. Then EA games took over making Goldeneye. They sucked. I never bought one after Rare disbanded. While they can keep on making Smash games after Sakurai, it doesn't mean they will be great.

I honestly don't think very many people realize this.
