Just to clarify, Rare has said that it's all up to Nintendo whether or not they want to re-release the old DKC games and even games like DK64 and Banjo-Kazooie! I read it once in an interview that was written up years ago. It's all in the hands of Nintendo with what they want to do with any past game released on one of their past consoles.
I heard they couldn't keep DKC1-3 because they might need to give Microsoft licensing fees, and my thought is that it was due to Rare's name being in the games. Hmm...
When you think about it, Nintendo owns every little last thing relating to Donkey Kong. Rare happened to be the developers Nintendo hired to make some of the games. Just because Rare made the game for Nintendo, doesn't mean that they'd have to pay a licensing fee due to Rare being properly credited. I just don't think this licensing crap adds all up.
Its possible they're waiting to re-release them after K. Rool and Dixie Kong are announced! :D
That would be very fitting
. But also, like I said in the previous post, those Rare logos are just giving credit where credit is due. I don't think any fees are necessary.
Dr. Mario is not grouped with Mario for a while with the Mario series initially in Melee. Pikachu starts out next to Mario, and doesn't move down until either you unlock Pichu or Mewtwo.
Remember when Fire Emblem fans said this before Ike was revealed and they got that WiiU Fire Emblem stage=???
All I want is Dixie and K. Rool in Smash Bros. and I'll be fully 100% content with the DK representation. Hell, if K. Rool and Dixie are both in and mostly originally, DK is already getting more than most franchises, as they get four completely original characters. Although I highly doubt Dixie will be 100% original, if she's playable she'll probably basically be the DK franchise's Wolf.Dr. Mario is not grouped with Mario for a while with the Mario series initially in Melee. Pikachu starts out next to Mario, and doesn't move down until either you unlock Pichu or Mewtwo.
On top of that, Brawl's entire roster is a mess from the get-go in terms of organization, and gradually all the series have historically had their characters next to one another in each Smash title.
Lucina, Dark Pit, and Dr. Mario will 100% be moved when a certain character is unlocked. I hope it's Ridley, just to say "he's so big he made the roster a row wider!!!"

How do they act now=???
If we get Dixie, K. Rool, Gangplank Galleon, and a DKC Returns stage, we're set for basically the next 3 Smash titles!!!
Eh, I REALLY WANT THAT ANIMAL CRATE.
They're listed by year, and then guests.
Actually, this isn't entirely accurate. Dr. Mario is positioned to the left of Mario when he is unlocked; in other words, with the rest of the Mario series. Pikachu does actually start out in the middle of the Mario characters for some reason, though it's not the unlock of Pichu or Mewtwo that moves him. That would be Luigi, who takes Pikachu's place next to Mario when he's unlocked.
Brawl's roster was definitely a mess until all the characters were unlocked. However, it's somewhat different here. The characters seem to be in reasonable positions for the most part, with the exception of the clone characters who are grouped together in a corner. However, this seems less like part of a process of rearranging characters as they're unlocked and more like deliberate positioning. If the clones were supposed to end up with their respective series once all the characters are unlocked, I doubt they would be grouped together like that to begin with.On top of that, Brawl's entire roster is a mess from the get-go in terms of organization, and gradually all the series have historically had their characters next to one another in each Smash title.

Hope springs eternal?
LOL wut?
'Hope springs eternal' is a phrase that means people will always have hope for what they want, despite evidence to the contrary.
Yeah, but I'd rather not wait another seven years.
Yeah, I meant Luigi!!!
This is why I think the roster is mostly like Melee's.
source please
Well the additional leaks have basically been shot down by the main leaker, soooooo....
Well, to be fair, it came up maybe once or twice out of the entire fanbase, what with her basically being etched into the fanbase's collective mind as an "OMG SHOO-IN" because "OMG SAKURAI MADE UPRISING, IT'S HIS GAME, IT'S SO GOOD, AND HE THOUGHT ABOUT SMASH WHILE DEVELOPING IT," and, later, Gematsu 2.0. I just threw it in there for the sake of rounding out the most ******** arguments against popular characters (the guy in your avatar also being hit with "too irrelevant" like Rool).
Sakurai is so modest, he refuses to say the SSE was a failure. He blamed it not being brought back for Smash 4 because of "the amount of cut scenes."
And before most of our mates who has abandon ship make no return for this newcomer, I'd be the one to welcome thee, my fellow brethren. In proper salutations!
I don't know, I just don't know
If K. Rool or any character is a boss or AT that doesn't have a clone, it's all over.

He was too busy thinking about the new final smash for kirby, dedede, meta knight and pit, but atleast we have gear getaway!Man not even a new track from DK is announced yet. What's going on? I mean KI, a much smaller franchise, get's treated in SSB4 like it's one of the biggest franchises of Nintendo. Pit is even on both covers and DK only on one. DK has nothing yet, not even a freaking AT. It's really seems like Sakurai is not a fan of the DK-Series........
It was the rocketbarrel theme when Sakurai talked about items in the smash direct
Famitsu has the full announced character roster... with all the characters listed in the EXACT same order they are in the game. Except for Lucina, she's shown right next to the Fire Emblem characters. I think this proves that the clones will move after a certain point.
