Sakurai's knack for keeping us on our toes is as sharp as ever — confirming game dev is still his jam while leaving us dreaming about the Smash possibilities on new gen Nintendo gear. As someone who's watched Smash evolve, I'm stoked to see how he'll level up the fighter frenzy on potentially fresh hardware.
