He was mentioned as soon as Paccy was brought up in the feed.

"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."Hashil: That is not the same thing as being confirmed.
Also, he's literally the easiest character to make for a one-off joke.
Ringsea: For the joke. Yes, I know that there's an almost 100% chance he's in the game. But that's not the same as officially revealing him.

Mr. Game & Watch has been confirmed for a while now. Remember the whiteboard drawing? ...Anyone?
Anyway, it wouldn't make sense for him to be in the Pac trailer but not be playable. He's there, but as someone mentioned earlier, just not ready for display yet. Or possibly a "hidden" character. Who knows.

It's fortunate on their end that Greninja ended up becoming the Breakout Character of X&Y.
I really hope they show Snake soon. Between ZSS cribbing his Final Smash and Pac-Man being revealed, I'm worried there's no spot on the roster for him this time.
Pac-Man being revealed does simultaneously ease one point, though; that it's too late to show third-party characters for hype purposes.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Interesting, the way they revealed Pac-Man was just like how they revealed the Wii Fit Trainer. They probably knew they would be controversial characters, so they revealed them through text first, then showed their trailers after people had some time to let off some steam. It certainly worked for me.
As much as I love Snake in Smash, I would be more surprised to see him back than to see him go. :( Shame, but we can't all get what we want I guess...

Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre Adventure

I don't recall saying anything about the game "sucking", and I also recognized that yeah, I am still probably the only one who's really feeling to the point of being on the oust about things.
But I found it amusing that after what happened I suddenly wasn't the only one who found something to be disappointed about, even if it looks like that disappointment is going away again for most people.
