Hello guys I'm new here and I want support the return of Snake!
I consider that is more viable in cost and promotion for Smash and Metal Gear, and prefered by the fans as the results of this sum of votings:
Some people are pesimist about the return of Snake but you can consider the year of negociation with SEGA before the inclusion of Sonic to Brawl.

The negociations for an Nintendo vs Capcom for the Wii, that finished with the inclusion of Ryu and Megaman, and annoyed to Iwata. Being a sensation of concept crossover game on Deviantart and other game forums.

The problems with the desing of Pacman, after leaving the idea of Heihachi as NAMCO smash fighter; similar in fighting concept to Ryu.

Similar to Kojima the creator of Megaman leaved Capcom and this problem not affected the relationship and negociations with Nintendo.

Considering that we don't have Megaman games since Wii, and Street Fighter V is an exclusive for Sony PS4 similar to Metal Gear Solid V with release in a few months.
I have hopes that Konami and Nintendo can reach an agreement as it can be beneficial to both. Similar to the large contracts in the largest sports teams or similar to the DLCs of Mortal Kombat X or PlayStation All-Stars.
I think that is more possible this Third-Party character than others as Bomberman which is too from Konami, Banjo-Kazooie from Microsoft or I don't know who are the partner now and indie characters hanging of the advertising of Smash.
If Kojima and Konami could have ended with bad terms, they had cut their relationship immediately and maybe the game had been canceled, suing each other. Thing that I don't see because Konami and Kojima keep promotionating the game mutually, especially on Twitter.
We must keep moving, voting and promoting the retun of Snake to Smash.
Have a good day!
