The new Metal Gear is also being released for every single home console except Nintendo's.

I think it's okay to be petty about that.

Sakurai is one to be petty like that. He recently said he likes the PS 4. Nintendo might be petty, so Snake still isn't guaranteed, but he's still not out of the question.

Well, suddenly there goes anyone's chance besides Snake, then.

And since he was more of a personal favor than anything... Yeah.

Honestly, I never had any doubt that Snake would be back, considering Kojima was so adamant about getting him into Smash in the first place.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

I really don't, since I rarely ever played as Snake anyway.

Makes it sound like it's *Sakurai's* call to bring Snake back in, so i'd say that lowers chances unless Sakurai really liked having Snake in there.

My thought is no.

I've seen a lot of people who want to see Simon Belmont in place of Snake.

And, really, I'm one of them.

I'd rather Kid Dracula, but he's way behind Simon in terms of likelihood.tongue

Snake just doesn't fit my playstyle at all. He's too slow paced and depends too much on strategy for me.

I like using Snake. I wouldn't consider him a main, but I was fairly comfortable with him.

I would really like for him to return, I like the sort of wacky-yet-gritty charm he brings with him.

We're getting all these photo leaks all of a sudden. Background looks kind of unique, but Shulk's pose is from here...

Please be real.

Looks like this image is meant to be from the 3DS version. I can't tell if it's fake or not. I think the background is Battlefield.

Fake. The actual 3DS models are a lot jaggier that close up, and Shulk has way too many details.

Mimicking poses would be part of the point. Shulk is another character who's more likely in anyway (better chances than Palutena. She herself i'd call 50/50).

Pardon me for asking, but how does a third-party character (as far as I know) have better chances than a first-party one?

Shulk is not third-party. Nintendo owns Monolith Soft, and Xenoblade Chronicles was the first game they made as part of Nintendo.

Ah, yes, it's a subsidiary sort of like Intelligent Systems. It's developed PS 2 games before, so forgive my confusion.

Subsidiary is probably technically correct, but not the best choice of words, as it's usually used as a synonym for "second-party" developers (which isn't technically the correct usage of that term either; there's a lot of jargon in the gaming community), which are studios that aren't owned by a first-party publisher, but who work exclusively for them (HAL Laboratories and Gamefreak are good examples of this).

It's easier just to say that they're first-party.

[up]I think HAL Laboratories is now first party for Nintendo. I think they became first party when Iwata took over Nintendo since Iwata was the CEO of HAL Labs before he took over Nintendo so I think when he moved to Nintendo, HAL Labs also got purchased by Nintendo.

The Other Wiki still lists them as a partner, not a subsidiary.

Really, if anything, Palutena (in my humble opinion) has the best chances of any character to be a newcomer. Just saying.

I have to say, as cool as Shulk would be, that photo definitely looks fake to me...

Whereas we haven't been able to find a single bit of good evidence that the Palutena image is faked.

(I've heard rumors say she's just an assist trophy, but if you look at pictures of most assist trophies - Ashley, Skull Kid, Waluigi - only their thumb is molded separately at best, while Palutena's fingers are molded individually or at least appear to be. Plus I don't see why an assist trophy would need an outline, but...)
