After the September and November 2014 releases of ''for 3DS'' and ''for Wii U'', respectively, Sakurai stayed on with a smaller development team at Bandai Namco for the creation of [[downloadable content|DLC]]. The sixth and final wave of downloadable content was released on February 3rd, 2016, whereupon Sakurai announced that development of ''for 3DS'' and ''for Wii U'' had officially ended. He also noted that although he had already decided on his next project, he wanted to first take a long vacation. | After the September and November 2014 releases of ''for 3DS'' and ''for Wii U'', respectively, Sakurai stayed on with a smaller development team at Bandai Namco for the creation of [[downloadable content|DLC]].
