Sakurai: "No way" future Smash Bros. games will have as many fighters as Ultimate

Thought as much.
There's nowhere to go but down with a new game in terms of content.
I'd actually prefer if they port Ultimate, with all the DLC from the Switch's life span, over to Switch 2 and then sell the game on the new characters, stages, modes, and content they're adding for the Switch 2's life span. Call it "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 2.0" or "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch 2." Something along the lines. Because, honestly, I see no need or reason for a Smash 6 after this.

They can add characters from their games that are not in smash, and a story mode can come back.

OP: 70 plus characters is a lot so I understand if they trim it down.
