I posted this on another thread...before rating please have a quick gander and see what we're missing...
Phendrana Drifts Stage
^this structure right here would make for a great stage with floating platforms and flickerbats flickering about (they'd have a wind box that pushes the players slightly if they make contact, does 1% damage as well), perhaps a Sheegoth can blast onto the Battlefield in the same way the Metal Gear's did in Shadow Moses! Or some Flying Pirate Troopers can shoot some missiles onto the battlefield...[Sakurai plzzzzzzzzz!!!!!]

This music all fits the environment IMO and are all pretty awesome...
This is just one idea, for one area from Metroid Prime, imagine all the potential possibilities (outside of the frikkin Frigate Orpheon of all things) from the entire Trilogy that can be implemented...

Concept: New Metroid Prime Stage
Chance: 10%
So far, the only stand alone stage we got that wasn't from a previous game was Miiverse...Suzaku Castle came with a newcomer and Dreamland as well as the incoming Hyrule Castle and Peach's Castle were from previous Smash installments making them incredibly easily to make (and a possible new Dr. Mario stage and the return of Great Bay Temple which was leaked)...A brand new stage from another franchise without a character to go with it is something we have yet to see...
Metroid, specifically Metroid Prime is a series that has a lot more to offer in terms of content in Smash, than what it has. Metroid Prime has a Dark Samus assist trophy (shoulda been playable) and some colour swaps (shoulda been actual alts like in Project M) and not much else...heck dozens of Trophies and it's 1 (albeit very lame) stage that were featured in Brawl were all removed for whatever reason, while Other M (the most hated game of the franchise mind you) get's a crapton of content as if the Metroid Prime series didn't matter and that Other M was this huge success which it wasn't...I wouldn't really care about Other M getting all this content if Metroid Prime wasn't treated like an afterthought...
Anyways...one thing that Metroid fans have been very vocal about (outside of having Ridley) was having abrand new Metroid themed stage THAT DOES NOT HAVE FREAKING LAVA!!!! Brinstar has no lava, yet in melee two stages from Brinstar were added and BOTH have lava, mind you in Brinstar Depths the lava doesn't affect the gameplay but it is still there for whatever reason...There's also (with the removal of the Ice Climbers) no ice themed stages...Phendrana Drifts is easily one of the most memorable areas of the Metroid Prime Trilogy, and arguably the Metroid franchise with it's amazing atmosphere, music and freaking badass monsters (those Sheegoths though O_O)...There's also Skytown being one of the most memorable from Corruption with once again it's amazing atmosphere, music and freaking badass robotic..................things...
anyways...I'm not really holding my breathe for any Metroid content (despite next year being the 30TH ANNIVERSARY of the series) seeing as it really doesn't get the proper recognition it deserves from Nintendo for some reason...I mean the Wii U may end up missing out on a console Metroid title which is something that would've helped the system greatly as it is one games that people were anxiously waiting for...but instead there is still nothing...

Want: 100%
Well, duhh....If Sakurai's not going to give us a playable character, then why not a brand new stage that doesn't revolve around freaking lava and a stage boss that no body wants as a stage boss....here's a few ideas
Phendrana Drifts-Ice themeatics which are missing outside of Gerudo Desert with Twinrova being annoying...see above for more...
Sanctuary Fortress-Robotics everywhere, the stage can be techy with shifting parts in some areas with the Quads moving about, perhaps Quadraxis can pop up every now and then as a cameo, being from Echoes they could incorporate Light and Dark themes to involve some extra aesthetics and perhaps some Ingsmashers (seriously those things are beastly)
Skytown-Just the atmosphere alone is enough reason to make this a stage, perhaps with some of the steambots either floating int eh baclground or providing themselves as simple stage hazards that can be knocked away...
Phaaze-Imagine pools of Phazon that provide an intsakill similar to the lava in the great Cave Offensive, and perhpas some Phazon based lifeforms, such as Phazon Puffers, Hopping Metroids and perhpas a Leviathan Infant floating about...I kinda want the Azelion to pop out of a wall and grab fighters, could work in a simialr fashion as the fish from the Ice Climbers stage...Phaaze could be one of those deadly hazard based stages, where it's carnage the whole time...
Torvus-A swampy atmosphere would be neat in Smash as well with some grechlers and Bloggs ruining people's day...This stage could have water as well that players can drown in as well...Also any stage from Prime 2 could be themed around the Light vs. Dark World perhaps a Dimensional portal pops up and when a fighter makes contact with it the stage swtiches into the other form of Aether with the Ing and other Dark aether creatures being arseholes to the fighters
Man, Sakurai PLEASE GIVE US SOME METROID PRIME CONTENT!!!!! y'know to at least show that you haven't forgotten about us...

SSB4 NX Port
Chance: 5%
I don't particularly think that we'll see an NX port of Smash 4 mainly because the NX is still a ways off before it's release...It doesn't makes sense to add a game that is 2 or 3 years old and past it's life cycle onto a new system when they could simply start making a new one to be ready a few years down the line...although it could be upgraded with better graphics, more content (no handheld port so no technical issues) in a way to make the game the way it's supposed to be...
----
Want: 50%
I'm really on the fence with this one...I'd rather they make a new game, unless they are going to be adding more content to the NX port, which will pretty much be the same as a new game either way...
----
Prediction:
Galacta Knight: 2.34%
not getting before Bandana Dee, and Magolor, and Dark Matter...too much in his way...
SSB5 New Director: 34.56%
Hard to say...Sakurai is known for his persistence and dedication especially to smash...perhpas he can co-direct but he's very picky with the content in smash, Sakurai may step down entirely, but his passion for this series may prevent him from doing so...
