I did some searching and couldn't find any threads like this already (if there is one feel free to lock this), so here it is!
Basically some have theorized that the Wii U version of the game will feature playable bosses as a way to get people to not only buy the game, but in many cases justifying buying a whole Wii U, while still maintaining the same roster between the 3DS and Wii U versions. This would explain why Sakurai has been so secretive about bosses so far, only showing the shadows of both Ridley and Metal Face.
You might ask why, if bosses are playable, has the Yellow Devil already been shown to not be so? The Yellow Devil appears on both versions of the game, and acts more like a glorified stage hazard than a boss, so he would be the exception as bosses obviously aren't playable on the 3DS.
So if we get playable bosses, who would you want to see? Ridley and Metal Face are obvious shoe-ins based on past hinting, but there are plenty of other stages yet to be revealed, or even stages that have been revealed that might have a boss as well (like Pyrosphere).
