Not to give everyone too much hope, but Masahiro Sakurai has been bombarded by so many people making so many assumptions about literally everything that comes out of his mouth that it just comes across as. . .strange, to end one of the videos in his YouTube series by making that kind of statement. Especially considering he’s previously stated that he thought a remake would be “difficult.” To take a more optimistic tone feels kind of. . .weirdly intentional?

Honestly, this could all be grasping at straws, but hey, if they’re Uprising-shaped straws then I’ll take any excuse to grab them I can get.
