In the latest Nintendo Direct something unusual happened: Nintendo teased an upcoming update for a game without any real details. While version 2.0.0 mainly added Piranha Plant to the game, version 3.0.0 will do more than simply adding Joker, where Nintendo showed two pixelated screens of a Nintendo Switch system.
And one of these screens stands really out:
It looks like the generic Battlefield stage but with more "mass" and with a sidebar to the left. Could this really be it? Could this be the long-awaited Stage Builder?
For me personally the Stage Builder is the biggest omission in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was possible that they didn't bring back this feature, because some functionality would only work in handheld mode, where you have the touchscreen available. But since this isn't an issue for Super Mario Maker 2, there is no good reason to keep a Stage Builder away from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
The redacted "screenshot" above even is shown on a Switch in handheld mode, which might not be a coincidence. So, maybe this will get added with version 3.0.0 and be even a part of the Smash World app, which will probably be released around the same time.
The fact that the background resembles the one from Battlefield might also lead to the option to use any backgrounds from any stage this time. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here...
In any case it's likely that there will be a dedicated Super Smash Bros. Direct near the end of March or in April with the following topics:
