Oh yeah, looks like I missed "Smash ending soon" talk while I was at work.
TBH, while it's gonna be hecka bittersweet, and I'll miss the community, like...It just feels like it's time for the game to end, for me. I wanna see Nintendo focus on other projects, go in big on other games, and not have Smash always be the de-facto headturner. I wanna see some new stuff, y'know? Get those creative juices flowin'. Maybe give some DLC love to other games that need it more

Like, IDK, we've been getting Smash reveal on almost a near predictable schedule for almost 3 years now. They're just starting to lose what makes them special to me because of that, and it just feels a little "ho-hum" right now rather than a big event. It's just expected to see Smash whenever Nintendo opens their mouths, and it's gotten, well...Predictable.
There's also the fact that I just feel kinda done with Ultimate itself and am ready for it to evergreen. Don't get me wrong, I'll still be playing WoL and flubbin' with CPU fights every once and a while, but this game's online is just...It's just not good, lol. And it being good was kinda necessary to keep anyone around to actually want to regularly play with people, and especially with stuff still going on in the world, I have zero desire to find locals ATM.
Add Splatoon 3 coming up next year and I just am ready to move on.

pretty much shared why the speculation part of it has just tired for me, too.
I still wanna see who CP11 is for closure, and because I spent money on them, I wanna know who I bought, lol. But yeah, my expectations ain't big: I'm thinking Pokémon, or small third party. Something along those lines.
