If you're a fan of Super Smash Bros., you probably know who Masahiro Sakurai is. He's overseen the cross-franchise brawling series ever since it began on Nintendo 64, but according to a recent interview with Game Informer (via CVG), the most recent pair of titles may be his last.

"I can't positively declare there won't be [another Smash Bros. game]," Sakurai said. "With Melee, Brawl, and 4, I made those games with the thought that there wouldn't be any more sequels. Thus, I really can't deny the chance for another. However, as for myself, I don't think there will be."

Sakurai's been upfront about how a medical condition in his left arm, which makes it painful to operate a controller, and long hours of overtime working on the game have worn him down in recent years. On the other hand, releasing a Smash Bros. game any less jam-packed with features would likely provoke outrage from fans - giving players more and more value for their money 'wound up tightening the noose' around Sakurai's neck, as he said.
