If you love the Super Smash Bros. series just as much as we do, then you're probably about to become painfully jealous of this lucky Smash Bros. Ultimate developer.
As you may already know, a special Super Smash Bros.-themed Nintendo Switch has launched today, ready for the game's release next month on 7th December. Featuring the iconic Smash symbol on the Joy-Con, and a selection of characters on the dock, this special edition is already pretty fabulous out of the box, but the game's director Masahiro Sakurai has shared a photo of a particularly special one that has been signed by the man himself.
It appears that a member of the development team bugged Sakurai into signing their new dock, no doubt wanting to keep it locked inside a beautiful display case for the rest of time. Featuring a lovely little doodle of Kirby, the signature looks great on the dock and we suddenly find ourselves wanting our very own more than anything else in the world.
Can you imagine if these were sold as super-limited editions? Of course, scalpers would be all over them faster than you could say "Smash", but the excitement it would cause would be amazing to experience.
Would you like Sakurai-san to sign your Switch? Will you now look at your own Switch in sadness, knowing that it will never be quite as beautiful as this one? Let us know in the comments below.

I now desperately want Sakurai to add to the signatures on my 3DS…
(L-R Charles Martinet, Takashi Tezuka, Miyamoto)
It really would be the ultimate console (sorry)
Well that's his pension sorted
I was kind of hoping there'd be something more troll-ish about this.
Like he'd intentionally sign it in a way that was meant to shame the dude for bugging him.
Wow I need one too.
This man is a legend.
@ryancraddock That Miyamoto signature and doodle is perfection!
Off it goes to the "dreams that will never come true" list
@ryancraddock It seems like your 3ds has that 1 last empty spot just for him
Unpopular opinion: I've never understood wanting famous people to ruin your stuff by doodling on it.
Unless you're planning on flipping it, I guess. I'll bet he could make a few hundred dollars off that dock now.
Miyamoto has the best signature in history 😀
@ryancraddock That's amazing! I got to meet Charles Martinet at E3 2017, he was very kind. Where did you meet Tezuka and Miyamoto?
@PurinPuff Yeah, Charles is just a wonderful bundle of loveliness
It was through a very lucky coincidence with work. Myself and Damo were meeting up with Tsubasa Sakaguchi (Splatoon co-director) for an interview and Miyamoto and Tezuka happened to be in the same building.
Apparently Miyamoto wanted to come and say hello after being shown some of my cheesy Nintendo fan-music on YouTube - an incredible honour of course!
That is the Switch dock of my dreams, the only thing that could and would make me want it more would be to have Miyamoto's signature on it also. That would be the Ultimate Switch dock to own.
@NewAdvent
If I was a super-famous person in this way or something I'd secretly sign like a hundred or 200 randomly then delight with glee as I watched the internet jump with joy not knowing how many truly existed.
But I'd know and it would be truly glorious! Like if I was a movie star or famous musician etc just show up at random places and hang out with 'normal' people and chill and whatnot.
