But I was reading some of the stuff about Super Smash Bros. Brawl (the official name of the new Smash Bros. game). Pretty shocked with what they announced for characters...

Meta Knight from the Kirby series
Pit from Kid Icarus
Wario from the Mario series (wears his WarioWare Inc. costume)
and last but not least...

Snake from Metal Gear Solid O_o;;;
you forgot zero suit samus i made a pretty large post above about this.

moving on... I two was VERY surprised with the addition of Snake into SSB:B i was like WOW nintendo got a hold on konami... and i assume thats because of MGS:Twin snakes when it was released on the GC got Nintendom some rights to the charecter...

and i have to say i saw the demo for the PS3 motion controller... its a disgrace IMO to the WII-mote... just a slap in the face saying we can do that too... but no where near nintendo in an way shape or form...
agreed. In a recent interview with Miyamoto and Sakurai, this question was asked:

Did Nintendo approach Konami about putting Snake in Super Smash Bros., or was it the other way around?


Mr. Sakurai: Actually what really brought about the Snake character goes back to a conversation I had back when I was developing Smash Bros. for GameCube, when Hideo Kojima contacted me and practically begged me to put Snake in the game. But at that time we were already deep in development and I was thinking that we weren't going to be able to get him in there. I told him that it was too bad he hadn't brought it up earlier, and that was the end of the story.

When this project came up, because I had been in contact with him back then, we re-initiated talks and decided to put Snake into the game.

Mr. Miyamoto: Mr. Sakurai's discussions were really more on a personal level with Mr. Kojima than on a corporate level. But obviously a lot of people have been interested in getting other characters in the game. A big part of it is having someone that you can trust to take care of your character and make sure that it turns out well. There are possibilities for other characters to appear in the game as well, and it's possible that there are corporate discussions going on now about what other characters may appear. But, maybe we’ll be talking about that another day!

SSB:B is going to turn out to be one of the best Wii games, IMHO. And the online is going to be absolutely amazing!!!
