Super Smash Bros. Brawl 2 sequel in the head of series creator Masahiro Sakurai

Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai talked about a Super Smash Bros. Brawl 2 sequel at the Game Developers Conference 2008. It’s interesting to hear him say certain features like voice chat were left out because of Wii limitations, but that there were more not included features he thought about added, which he’d like to put in a sequel. What follows are the relevant interview quotes:

Question: What would be that one specific feature you wish you could have added?
Masahiro Sakurai answers: I feel like anything I’ve considered I’m probably going to think about when — I mean if — another game was to come out in the series and so I’d like to keep a lid on that for now. and not disclose anything I’ve been thinking about there.

Question: Have you done everything you can do with the Smash Bros. franchise now? In other words, can Wii owners look forward to a Super Smash Bros. Brawl sequel in the future?
Masahiro Sakurai answers: Well, the series has already had three iterations so I cannot say with one-hundred percent confidence that there won’t be any additional Smash Bros. games ever. But, at the same time I’d really like to note that I feel like with Brawl there are already so many modes and so much to do that it’s really hard to exhaust what you can do with this game. I’m really against the idea of merely creating a sequel that would add modes or increase the number of characters in the roster — all the sort of things that just simply fatten up the game. I’d like to avoid just doing that if a sequel ever came out.

I dont want too many charecters in this game, but just enough to make us happy.

But how about some really new characters that haven’t been in the series before? Like Mega Man, Bomberman, etc.

Wait a sec! I dont even know if this game will exist at all! But still I’m excited!

The main thing to take away from the interview with Sakurai is that he as a creator doesn’t just want to add new characters for the sake of doing a sequel. It sounds like he had a lot more game modes in mind for us to play with that didn’t make it into Brawl.

You know.Thats true Supadupagama. I’d love to see megaman blast over to the game! However which one? (The original, battle network, starforce, etc.)

I think the one from starforce would be cool! And bomberman…Wow! I’ll give some cool suggestions to bombermans attacks!
B=Launch yourself up in the air.
B+DOWN=Place a bomb on the ground.
B+UP=Chuck a bomb up in the air.
B+SIDE=Chuck a bomb to the side.
.
Thats all!
