Super Smash Bros. 6 Theory

Here's a little theory I already said on one thread, but I wanted to make a thread out of it:

January 2020 is the half way point of the Switch's life according to Nintendo, and perhaps Sakurai believed that he wouldn't have time to complete a 3rd Fighter's Pass before the new console gets announced. It's rumored to be released in late 2022 or early 2023 whether Nintendo denies it or not. It's said developers were given the tools for the new console. I think Sakurai might be one of them.

PS, recently Nintendo said that the next console is in the planning phase.

Hmmmm....
What do you guys think another hybrid we already got 1 and one half hybrid consoles!
But to be fair hybrid seems to be the best gimmick ever so maybe Nintendo would do it again!

I was atagonised in another thread for it but what do you think should sakurai lead the next smash or not? after all shinya kumazki seems like he could handle smash pretty well!

My theory is perhaps Sakurai is aware of the next console being planned, so he wanted more time to renew the rights of stuff before the next game. I dunno...

At the back of my mind I imagine that a smash game will come out multi-platform. I feel like that’d be a bad idea since smash has remained one of the biggest reasons for people to buy Nintendo consoles for nearly 2 decades now, but dunno all these 3rd party characters just make me imagine

If Sakurai is planning on pulling another "everyone is here" his dev team would certainly need a lot of time for negotiating all those rights again. Pretty doubtful though.

My theory/ hope is that the next smash is maybe handeld by shinya Kumazaki!
Atleast let Shinya handle the Kirby content he is great with that!

Well, there is a lot of time before the next console so maybe they want to use the time for the negotiations.

This. The only way I can see ultimate being played in future consoles is if those consoles are backwards compatible.

I believe the next gen console will be an upgraded switch because I don't see Nintendo leaving the "home console and portable gaming" combo anytime soon. They own the portable gaming market so it makes sense to keep the switch alive. I don't think the new console will be announced anytime soon.
