Setting you up the bomb.
I don't understand why so many people want Balloon Fighter. Misplaced nostolgia? My point is there are many classic characters that are better suited to SSB, such as Little Mac, Mike Jones, Mach Rider, and Takamaru (from Nazo no Murasame). Even Bubbles from Clu Clu land has a better shot (actually, I'd really like to see Bubbles)
Putting Balloon Fighter makes about as much sense as including the dog from Duck Hunt (as playable).

i'd be fine with him as a lighter, faster, weaker DK clone. i don't use DK, but i'd use DK Jr.
thats what im saying, he'd be faster and more agile. I don't use DK either but if they put DK jr., I would use him for sure.

I've always wanted Little Mac in the next smash. Good Call on the Adventure Island Kid! I forgot about him! I also think Little Nemo would make an insanely awesome smash character, but I was told by a moderator a while back that nintendo doesn't own him because it was a movie first or some crap. But anyway, besides the obvious one's, here's who I want to see:

-Little Mac
-Skull Kid
-Little Nemo
-Adventure Island Kid (Master Higgins is his name someone said?)
-The Marble from "Marble Madness" (Plain old ball thing doin' sweet sh*t?)
-Paper Boy
-King Dedede
-Ridley
-Snow Bros.?
FINALLY! Someone mentioned Paper freaking Boy. Lots of people are talking about Lil' Mac... there's a thread about him - support his cause and post in there as well.

You guys have really good mentions in here, but let's keep it to (somewhat famous) NES characters, yes?

In the 3rd dimension
I read somewhere that Balloon fighters was supposed to be in SSBM...either them or Ice Climbers and they went w/- well obviously...of course idk if it was true and I can't remember where I read it...curse the vast deepness of the Internet...and Google...

OK new old school ones not mentioned at the time I start typing this:
Stanley the Bugman (DK 3)
Guy from Freedom Force (though created by Sunsoft and most likely not in it because he's an anti-terrorist fighter)
Mighty Bomb Jack (really old game from '87, but Nintendo doesn't own the character since it was also on the Atari and Commodore 64)
Spike (from Wrecking Crew - why not? Shocker character)
Guy from Card Hero (doubtful but still old)

OK I've tapped out my ideas from this vast Internet...

And sorry but a disagreement because Paper Boy IS NOT Nintendo...it's Atari...

My pick would be Captain James T Kirk from the old NES star trek games.

Phaser FTW.

What about Alex and Ryan from River City Ransom?

I also fully support putting a cany throwing child (Nemo) in the game
Another fun fact.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Nemo

Little Nemo is from a weekly comic strip originally, created almost 100 years before the video game came out. I think it's safe to assume that Little Nemo is out as far as Brawl is concerned.

Characters from NES games?

Lil' Mac - Mike Tyson's Punchout
Crystalis Hero - ...Crystalis
Red Mage - Final Fantasy I

And they must make Dark Link (Zelda II) a skin for Link. Replace the black tunic =P

Bubblun & Bobblun or Bub & Bob, They are awesome I think that they would be better off making them a dou character though.
