So this is taking a look at all the previous considered to planned newcomers for previous Smash games who still haven't joined the roster but might have (or had) the opportunity to do so for Ultimate.
STILL OR MADE INTO ASSIST TROPHIES
-Nintendogs
-Takamaru
-Krystal
NOT POPULAR OVERSEAS
-Ayumi Tachibana
REPLACED BY SQUIRTLE
-Blastoise
CAN JUST BE (AND IN MOST CASES, WERE) REPRESENTED WITH MIIS
-Satoru Iwata
-Reggie Fils-Aimé
-Shigeru Miyamoto
BIGGER LICENSING NIGHTMARE THAN SMASH ULTIMATE
-James Bond
WOULD-BE ECHOS IF NOT FOR DIFFERENT PROPORTIONS
-Toon Zelda
-"Toon Shiek"/Tetra
SHTICK IS ALREADY REPRESENTED IN VILLAGER'S UP SPECIAL
Balloon Fight
That leaves us with...
Banjo Kazooie
Geno
Dixie Kong
Rhythm Heaven rep (possibly Chorus Kids)
Hiehachi/other Namco reps
...and maybe technically also possible?
Mach Rider
Urban Champion
Bubbles of Clu Clu Land
Excitebike
Plusle & Minum/whoever Pra Mai was
The former group of five are all commonly speculated for Ultimate, so it remains to be seen whether the previously considered or planned will appear to make this game even more Ultimate.
