“Hardcore gamers” don’t really like casual games. He said there will probably never be another entry as geared toward the hardcore gamer as Melee was. *There’s a quote from a Famitsu interview, as you might know, where Sakurai calls Melee the sharpest. I really hope the next Smash isn’t just “Ultimate: Plus Even More This Time.”Īnyway, I know as well as you Melee HD or Melee 2 won’t happen in our lifetimes, but we may live to see a radical new direction for Smash… and perhaps taking a little inspiration from the *sharpest entry in the series could help with that.

An HD re-release with graphical touch would feel pretty weird (even if I personally would love it), but if they wanted to actually go all out and release it more as a “Melee 2,” and add in a bunch of characters but still based on the Melee engine and mechanics… I mean that would actually be an interesting release, would definitely pique People’s interest, while also being a manageable project.

In a recent episode of their podcast, the pair responded to a question asking about the possibility of Smash Bros.

Melee, but according to former NoA employees Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang, it probably won't happen. There have been a lot of requests for Nintendo to revive the GameCube hit Super Smash Bros.
