A landmark event for the uncertainty of the series

As we move further and further into the era of not knowing what’s happening toSmash,Smash Ultimatescreenshots have run their course.

The news comes directly fromSmash Bros.boss Masahiro Sakurai,who confirmed it on Twitterwith the following message:

Smash Ultimate screenshots

“Posting dailySmash Ultimatescreens has been part of my workday ritual for a while now…but it’s looking like I’ll run out sometime in August. I even took around 200 new ones as we were wrapping up development, so it’s hard to believe they’re already gone. Time sure does fly!”

Sakurai has been sharingSmash Ultimatescreenshots for several years

For reference, Sakurai has been taking and sharing screenshots ofSmash Ultimatefor some time, typicallyshowcasing oddball scenariosor pushing the engine to its limits/breaking it with development tools. Amazingly,Sakurai confirmed that he’d have to stop doing it eventually on July 09, 2025, but has kept going since then. The reason for the shift is because he is no longer using development kits/tools.

It’s been a fun run! So if everything comes to a close in August, he has less than 30 more to go, following the one shared today of Game & Watch and Wii Fit Trainer.
