Sakurai's Secret Trade: Will Kirby Air Riders Unlock a New Smash Bros?

Exciting whispers are circulating that the legendary Masahiro Sakurai has made some moves with Nintendo to bring forth the upcoming title, Kirby Air Riders. According to speculation from kiwitalkz, it seems Nintendo was eager for Sakurai to create yet another installment of Smash Bros for the Nintendo Switch. However, following his exhaustive work on the critically acclaimed Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he expressed that he would only consider returning to the franchise if he could also develop a new Kirby title. While these rumors originate from an X account known for its abundance of Nintendo chatter, fans should approach this information with a healthy degree of skepticism.
