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

31 March 2008

Posted by:Ferry

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 have many favorite characters to put in. Of course most of them you would not agree with either because they’re too infamous,they don’t fit in, or you don’t like them.
Maya

If there was to be a sequel, First I would like them to power Peach back up to her previous self in Melee and dock down Mr.GandW because he is FAR too powerful.

People who should be added:

Krystal (starfox)
Shadow
WolfLink and Midna (Link could change into him)
Another female character (we need more)

People who should definatly stay:

Mario
Sonic
Peach
Falco
Wolf
Kirby
Link

People who should leave:

None, the character group isn’t large enough as is.

Rayman
Victor
Dr Eggman

Shy Guy

BRING BACK ROY………………………………
Maya

I’m sorry Michael, but half of the people you want to see in brawl ((like Giga bowser, koopa troopa, king boo (WTF?), Daisy, Meowth ect)) Probably arn’t going to be ‘playable’ in the next game. Most of them will probably remain assist trophys or finalsmashes ((Giga Bowser)).

The only people you put up that I think MIGHT have a chance are mega man, and all the people you put down that are also on my list of wanted characters.

Also, I feel your pain, I want Roy back too.

Falco FTW!

Can I have your Brawl FC?
Michael gunn
