Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai is surprised the Switch 2 Direct is an hour long, and no, he doesn’t know what’s coming, even if “people are going to suspect no matter what”

Today’s the big day – the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct will air in a few short hours. Ahead of the stream, Nintendo confirmed that we can expect it to be “approximately 60 minutes long,” making for a lengthy broadcast that’ll be about the same length as the January 2017 Switch 1 presentation, something that even Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai seems pretty shocked about.

In a tweet posted a few hours ago (translated by Automaton), Sakurai calls the length of the Switch 2 presentation “a surprise,” but quickly clarifies that “I do not know the contents of the announcement (besides, I don’t belong to Nintendo).”
