If you haven’t heard, and why haven’t you, the next Smash Bros will be on the 3DS and Wii U. According to GamesTM, creator Masahiro Sakurai has considered making a portable Smash Bros game in the past. Though he “didn’t have the opportunity, it just never came up.”

“It’s not that I haven’t wanted to – I thought about it, I did. To be honest, we purely didn’t have the opportunity, it just never came up. And also, to speak freely, if you look at handheld device preceding anything before the GBA, I don’t think it would have the capabilities to fully realize Smash Bros.”
