Current Events > Which do you think is more likely: Smash 6, SSBU Deluxe, or no new Smash at all?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Super Smash Brothers 6 - A new entry in the series. Roster is smaller than SSBU but we get some new characters and stages out of the deal. Cut characters have a chance to return as DLC, like Lucas, Mewtwo, and Roy in Smash 4.

Super Smash Brothers Ultimate Deluxe - Or a different-yet-similar name. Like how Mario Kart 8 got an upgraded port for the Switch 1 that added more content, SSBU gets a similar treatment, porting over everything from the original game with a few improvements and releasing a new Fighter's Pass or two to add more characters and stages.

No new Smash, but SSBU gets an upgrade - No new Smash game is released for Switch 2, but SSBU gets an upgrade that you can download. This upgrade does not add any new content and just improves the performance for SSBU on the new hardware.

No new Smash, no upgrade - No new Smash game is released for Switch 2, and SSBU does not get any kind of upgrade at all.

Considering I fully expected Super Smash Bros. 4 to get ported to Switch and instead we got an entirely brand new Smash Bros. game, I'd say we're gonna get another new Smash game next.

pretty sure we will get a brand new one

The last game sold 36.5 million copies, there's no way they aren't gonna make a brand new one on Switch 2.

A brand new one from the ground up, or at least mostly. Won't have nearly as many stages and characters as ultimate.

Probably depends on if they believe they can one up smash 6 at this time which I highly doubt.

I feel like we're not gonna get one at all. But hopefully I'm wrong.

Who should be in Smash 6?

With Sakurai seemingly in no hurry to make a brand new game I think the best we can hope for is an upgrade to Ultimate with a new wave of DLC characters and other additions.
