Masahiro Sakurai reveals meaning behind 'Bros' in Super Smash Bros title

Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros., revealed that the "Bros" in the title was suggested by the late Satoru Iwata. Iwata believed it conveyed that the characters were friends resolving conflicts, not just fighting. Sakurai shared this insight in a recent video on his YouTube channel, where he reflected on Iwata's contributions to the game. He noted that the name was chosen during a meeting with Iwata and Shigesato Itoi. This video may be one of Sakurai's last, as he previously announced he had recorded his final video. Fans of game development are encouraged to watch his content before it concludes.
