Rumour: Sakurai asked Nintendo for Kirby Air Riders as negotiation for another Smash Bros


A rumour is doing the rounds online that the talented Masahiro Sakurai negotiated with Nintendo to produce the new and upcoming Kirby Air Riders game. The rumour from kiwitalkz states that Nintendo wanted Mr. Sakurai to produce another Smash Bros game for the Nintendo Switch, but as he was burnt out on the franchise after developing the comprehensive Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he said he would only do if if he was able to produce another Kirby Air Riders game. The rumour steams from an X account which has been posting a lot of Nintendo-related rumours lately, though it should be taken with a grain of salt.
