Masahiro Sakurai will no longer be posting a daily screenshot of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Twitter, he announced Monday evening. Heās already teasing another project of some kind, though it apparently wonāt be something weāll see daily.
āThis concludes the daily Smash Ultimate screens Iāve been posting since Dec. 2019. Thank you for your support!ā he said in a tweet. āHowever…Iāve been thinking about starting something new. (This time it wonāt be daily, though.)ā He encourages fans to check back āaround this time tomorrowā for more information, so if you want to be the first to learn whatās in the works, you might want to keep an eye on his feed at about 11PM ET.

While his language is vague enough that it could suggest a brand-new game, Iām 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 donāt think heād drop the details of a new game on Twitter. My guess is that heāll be doing another series of Twitter posts of some kind. But if it is going to be a new game, Iām personally dreaming itās a Meteos sequel.
While we wait for him to announce whatever is next, I highly recommend just scrolling through Sakuraiās Twitter feed to see some of the Smash screenshots heās taken. Theyāre often silly or reference video game history in a fun way, and since heās been posting them for years, thereās a lot to scroll through. While youāre 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.
