Keep cheering for Lip, Midna. Miracles can happen, even if you have to wait for the DLC or the sequel!

Or even never because Nintendo hates the series now! Wait.

Yeah, the Ridley silhouette during the boss comment could be Sakurai being misleading, but I think we all know in our heart of hearts that it's not gonna happen.
The problem there is that, well, he would've bitten the bullet already by now instead of just stringing everyone along towards a huge anticlimax that would simply enrage people.

[up]Just keep cheering! it'll happen, someday, if we try hard enough!

Just as I figured, Greninja was decided upon before he became an Ensemble Dark Horse.

"Namco-Bandai will not receive special consideration for characters"

!= "We will certainly not add any Namco-Bandai characters."

Clearly, they though Pac-Man deserved representation for his history, same as the other 3rd-parties they've added.

Pac Man eh? Not surprised but I don't really care. There's being disappointed about a character, and then there's going on extended rants about why said character doesn't deserve to be in the game. The latter may require you to calm down and step away from the keyboard a bit.

Aw man Miis can't be used online? Boo. Nintendo, stop ruining my dreams of having Hitler fight Mario.

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!

@Pulse: Don't think of it as putting off the disappointment, think of it as building up hype for the boss.

More a desire for more Metroid characters, who aren't Samus in various suits.

[up][up]Do you understand the desire for a plausible rep for a long-running and fairly popular series that isn't simply the same character as the first?

I think it's mostly for having another iconic Metroid rep and because the series is fairly popular outside of Japan.

In other news, this thread moves quick when it wants to...

I honestly don't understand the desire for Ridley to be a fighter.
A big part of it is that Metroid fans tend to feel like red-headed stepchildren from the way Nintendo treats the series, and since Ridley is the only really notable recurring character besides Samus, not to mention her absolute nemesis, people want that damn bone.
