Masahiro Sakurai will no longer be posting a daily screenshot of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Twitter, he announced Monday evening. Heā€™s already teasing another project of some kind, though it apparently wonā€™t be something weā€™ll see daily.

ā€œThis concludes the daily Smash Ultimate screens Iā€™ve been posting since Dec. 2019. Thank you for your support!ā€ he said in a tweet. ā€œHowever…Iā€™ve been thinking about starting something new. (This time it wonā€™t be daily, though.)ā€ He encourages fans to check back ā€œaround this time tomorrowā€ for more information, so if you want to be the first to learn whatā€™s in the works, you might want to keep an eye on his feed at about 11PM ET.

Thank you for your support! #SmashBros

However…I’ve been thinking about starting something new. (This time it won’t be daily, though.)

While his language is vague enough that it could suggest a brand-new game, Iā€™m not getting my hopes up. For someone who has become legendary for hosting elaborate video presentations detailing the finer points of new Smash characters, I just donā€™t think heā€™d drop the details of a new game on Twitter. My guess is that heā€™ll be doing another series of Twitter posts of some kind. But if it is going to be a new game, Iā€™m personally dreaming itā€™s a Meteos sequel.

While we wait for him to announce whatever is next, I highly recommend just scrolling through Sakuraiā€™s Twitter feed to see some of the Smash screenshots heā€™s taken. Theyā€™re often silly or reference video game history in a fun way, and since heā€™s been posting them for years, thereā€™s a lot to scroll through. While youā€™re there, you can also see his made-to-order game console shelves, where he lays his Nintendo Switch dock horizontally, and watch videos of his adorable cat.
