The most recent installment of Famitsu magazine has brought us one more column of Masahiro Sakurai, the renowned director of the saga Super Smash Bros., which in this generation has stood out much more thanks to the successful Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
The game was recently updated to receive Byleth, a character from Fire emblem which joined the already extensive cast of game characters available at Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. If you think the title has too many characters from Fire emblem, you are not the only ones.
Sakurai he admitted in the magazine that he thinks there are too many characters from Fire emblem, in addition to an excess of swordsmen. He explained that "the new fighters were not taken from my favorites, they were brought by Nintendo."
Probably the decision to add more characters from Fire emblem is due to the success of the mobile series with Fire Emblem Heroes, a title that continues to generate significant benefits for the company; in addition to the series titles for Nintendo Switch.
