Sakurai discusses Smash Bros. Ultimate's World of Light inspiration, says he's unsure he can ever top Smash Bros. Ultimate

Our friends at Source Gaming have poured through another Weekly Famitsu feature from Masahiro Sakurai. Not surprisingly, Sakurai is focusing completely on the launch of Smash Bros. Ultimate. There's a wealth of knowledge over at the full feature, but we've pull these two tidbits for you to check out.

World of Light

- inspired by a sequence towards the end of Brawl’s Subspace Emissary
- this scene shows all the characters vanishing
- Sakurai thought that it would be more impactful to start with a great disaster

Smash Bros. Ultimate's successor

- if Nintendo requests a successor, Sakurai will make it a priority
- he doesn’t know for sure that Nintendo will ask him to create another installment in the future
- Sakurai figures that when the next Nintendo hardware comes about, a request for another Smash will be made
- Sakurai doesn’t know how he will top Smash Bros. Ultimate
- “everyone is here” coming together was a miracle, and will probably only happen this one time
- there’s no guarantee of everyone coming together again as there are many moving parts and approvals that need to happen
