I think it would have been only common sense to put in another representative for a series that had only a single character from the prequels(not including new series like pikmin).
Like Metroid.... and that's really it. You can't really do much with ICs can you?
Sometimes I think everyone working at nintendo is a blonde.
I need to squeeze this in here too. This thread is called characters that should have made it to brawl. should
That really only applies to major nintendo franchises or at least widely known nintendo franchises, and 3rd party would have to relate to that somehow too.
- Snake is in because Kojima worked directly under Miyamoto, the creator of Mario
- Sonic is in because... well I don't know 100%, but it's related to Sonic & Mario at the Olympic games.
Master chief, although badass, does not belong in brawl -_-'
Alot of names I see in here are from minor games that were fun but had no specific significance in nintendo. If you ask someone who half these characters are, they wouldn't know.
Also, on the Geno thing. The only reason he WASN'T in Brawl is because he was owned by square, who refused to give the rights to him to nintendo. They even had to pull out a song from Forest Maze to avoid a lawsuit. He was practically a last minute removal.
He was going to be in, but if he was, he would be counted as a 3rd Party, and then we might get a character like Cloud or Sora. >_<
Not in my smashbros you don't.
