Apparently there are more barriers to getting that sort of functionality working than we'd expect.

It's more "why couldn't" than it is "why wouldn't".

Then, honestly, I question why they even bothered adding that functionality in the first place if it wasn't going to work to its fullest.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

If I remember correctly, Urban Champion, Mach Rider and Balloon Fighter were considered for Melee, but were beat out by the Ice Climbers.

And Lip's been considered since the first game but was "too obscure". Of course, with the Ice Climbers introduced in Melee, that's no longer an excuse...

Well, it does have its uses for some, and it does no actual harm to the Wii Mode functionality. If you don't wish to use the gamepad feature as it is, it's really no different than Wii Mode before the update. I see no compelling reason to not have it. And who knows? Perhaps they'll be able to add in game-pad button functionality later on.

To be fair, Ice Climbers had a worldwide release. Panel De Pon is actually quite a bit less known in comparison.

She'd be great to have in, though.

Shadow?

So I've figured there's three more Brawl vets that are shoo-ins. Diddy Kong, Wario and Meta Knight. The rest are up for debate.

I think all the first-party Brawl vets that are safe for every Smash Bros would be Pit, Olimar, Wario, Diddy Kong, Dedede and Meta Knight.

I'm hoping Toon Link's return signifies he's gonna be around for more Smash games in the future.

We did get it in the form of Tetris Attack, and have seen Lip's Stick in Smash games.

[up][up][up] PDP did get some Western exposure though, just with everything that made it charming surgically removed because Western players will explode if they see anime as a Yoshi/Pokemon game.

[up]So basically this.

Tetris Attack was Yoshi, with no Pokemon in it. Pokemon Puzzle League was a similar game, bu it was never Panel De Pon of any description.

In fact, Puzzle Leauge was never released in Japan.

[up]I find that weird, considering how the Pokémon anime is far more popular in Japan than the west.

Wikipedia says it was due to a lack of popularity of the N64 in the east.

[up][up][up] Incorrect! They actually took a canceled N64 Panel de Pon (eventually released as part of Nintendo Puzzle Collection), made it Pokemon, and released it for Western consumption.

Which characters from Brawl would they most likely not use?

...maybe Pokemon Trainer. I liked him, even if Ivysaur was hard to use.

I'm thinking Snake, if only because they don't have the license for him anymore.

The only Brawl newcomer I wouldn't mind being cut is R.O.B., and I don't even think he should be cut.

I just wouldn't be sad about it.

I liked ROB. So cute...

I like all characters really, but of the Melee fighters who didn't come to Brawl, the ones I didn't mind were Dr. Mario, Pichu, and maybe Toon Link.

Mario already has something of a clone in Luigi (though I did like Dr. Mario's pills and electric hand), Pichu always hurt itself when it attacked (cute, but bad for fighting XD), and though it was a weird change, I like how Toon Link's got his own style apart from Link and Young Link.

As for cutting Mewtwo, that stung. I never cared as much for Lucario. He wasn't as floaty...and Roy was cool with all his fiery moves, but Ike was fine in being all heavy. Sadly I've never played any Fire Emblem games, so I couldn't appreciate them as much as most of the other characters.

The only cut I didn't like is Mewtwo. Honestly, cutting the most iconic legendary Pokémon. Not on.
