Atlus is not owned by Nintendo in any way, but I think Sony has some power over them, or at least the Nippon Ichi branch.While I think that both Phoenix Wright and Trauma Center are great games (and I personally would love to see Nick in Brawl), neither one of those are Nintendo franchises, let alone part of Touch Generation. PW is a Capcom franchise (of which I'm sure Mega Man will get in over anyone from that game), and TC is an Atlus franchise. I'm not positive about Atlus, but I KNOW Capcom ain't second party.
Tonight, I say a character, a veteran. Just feelin' it.
