Leak Points to New Super Smash Bros. and Nintendogs Revival for Nintendo's Next Era
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
A prominent leaker claims that Nintendo is developing a brand-new Super Smash Bros. game and reviving the classic Nintendogs franchise for its upcoming hardware lineup.
Nintendo's upcoming hardware generation is shaping up to host some major franchise returns, according to fresh details from a notable industry leaker. Reports circulating online point toward an all-new Super Smash Bros. project rather than a simple expanded port of the massive 2018 hit Ultimate. Given that series director Masahiro Sakurai has kept a low profile since finishing up previous projects, the timing lines up for a fresh entry to headline Nintendo's next platform push.
Alongside the fighter franchise, the leak suggests that a long-dormant touch screen classic is finally making a comeback. Through a now-deleted YouTube comment highlighted by Video Games Chronicle, the community pieced together hints pointing directly toward a revival of Nintendogs. The beloved pet simulation has been missing in action since the Nintendo 3DS era, but its return fits neatly into the company's recent strategy of dusting off cult-favorite handheld properties for modern audiences.
As always, this information comes with the usual caveat for unverified rumors, though the source previously called several major announcements ahead of official broadcasts. If these plans hold true alongside rumored additions to Mario Kart World and fresh Metroid adventures, players on the move and at home will have plenty of familiar worlds to dive into over the next few years.
