“Stay tuned” says Reggie Fils-Aimé
In a recent interview Nintendo of America’s president Reggie Fils-Aimé strongly hinted that we could see a Super Smash Bros game released on the new Nintendo Switch console.
Talking to Katie Linendoll during a Facebook livestream , he said that “Smash is obviously one of our best-selling franchises” and that a main Nintendo development philosophy is “to have at least one [each] of our classic franchises” on “every platform.”
“There’s gonna be one great Super Mario experience, there’s gonna be a great Zelda experience” he said, “so you can expect, you can anticipate at some point in the future, who knows when, that all of our franchises will be addressed. We know that the fans love these games, love this content, so stay tuned.”
Considering, as Fils-Aimé says himself, Smash is one of Nintendo’s biggest selling IPs it would be extremely surprising if it didn’t make an appearance on the Switch in some form or another.
With Zelda , Super Mario and Mario Kart all confirmed to be expanding onto the new console, Super Smash Bros is the next big name for the company to tick off its list.
