I don't think there was any tease. He is a game director, he is not retired, of course he is working on a new game.
As he has mentioned, once a game is ending, director is already working on pre-production of next game.

I always knew Sakurai worked hard to deliver high quality games, but after watching this video, it's insane.
Creating a whole YouTube channel with 260 videos just because he had a few free months. Doing the majority (pre editing) in just a few months, scripting and recording nearly ever video in advance.
Absolutely wild.
He will be missed. Everyone of his games were the most fun out of anything on Nintendo systems. He deserves a good retirement
Switch 2 on the horizon, eh?
So...Smash Bros. Ultimate + to come out holiday 2026 or spring 2027?
Literally just fix the online experience and that game will live on forever.
that game will live on forever
And Melee fans will still refuse to play it for whatever reason
You really don't see the competitive differences between the two? Lol
Not every game has to be an e-sport my friend, some games can be fun
Well the people playing melee today aren't doing it for the 4 player all items on free for all mode. Most people who play fighting games enjoy the competitive aspect, in which the two are pretty different.
"Bro I can't wavedash in Ultimate."
Well Nintendo is playtesting a Minecraft-style MMO so hopefully they've put resources towards better online play.
Considering their recent lawsuit, them ripping off Minecraft is hilarious
Lol that's a good one
“I received a request to write a game proposal, which I finished at lightning speed,” he said.
Free slate auteur game from Sakurai? Shadow development and surprise release?
Kirby air ride 2, now with 49 player city trial
You joke but I would kill for a new Kirby Air Ride game.
You wouldn't believe my disappointment when they had a Nintendo Direct years ago and threw a "one more thing" at the end which opened with Kirby Air Ride music and Kirby riding in on the warp star, only for it to be a Smash Bros character reveal. The video they put on YouTube after the fact opened with the Smash logo, but it didn't during the Nintendo Direct.
I would also love a Kirby air ride game... But seeing how they did multiplayer-focused gamrs like Mario tennis and golf, I don't want today's Nintendo to make it, if that makes sense.
Finally getting back to work on Half Life 3
Silksong confirmed.
