Let Sakurai rest, damnit!

This week's Famitsu has another column from Masahiro Sakurai, and as you might guess, he talks a bit about Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Sakurai wants one thing to be very clear about Smash Bros. Ultimate. When it comes to DLC, things are being wrapped with Fighters Pass 2. Once all the content in Fighters Pass 2 is complete, Smash Bros. Ultimate will not receive anymore DLC. Hopefully whatever comes in Fighters Pass 2 will satiate you! Sakurai also once again reiterates that characters in this Fighters Pass are chosen by Nintendo.

Finally, Sakurai makes a quick note about a successor to Smash Bros. Ultimate. According to Sakurai, work on a sequel hasn't even hit the planning stages yet. Let's hope that's true, as Sakurai definitely needs a break!
