Smash Bros. Brawl character confirmations and desires
UPDATE: Apparently the 1UP.com source was just an old rumor. For now, don’t take anything involving these characters as confirmations in either direction, in or out. However, the Ogawa comment regarding Sonic still stands.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is probably somewhere in every Wii owner’s or future Wii owner’s top five games they want this year. There’s no doubt people have spent the last few years debating and speculating about the new game’s character roster.
The game’s director, Masashiro Sakurai, recently spoke on a Japanese radio show about the game. We’ll start with the bad news. The following characters will NOT be returning to the game’s roster: Young Link, Mr. Game & Watch, and the Ice Climbers. While reports don’t include the reasons for the removal of these characters, I think it’s safe to say a clone, an unknown, and a pair of characters with pretty lame moves won’t be missed by too many people. Personally though, I’d take Game & Watch or Ice Climbers back as long as they get rid of Pichu.
Now for some good news. Sakurai was able to confirm the arrival of Bowser Jr. to the game. Will he be a clone of Bowser? I’m thinking not, since Sakurai seems to be taking his time with this game, so I have a feeling we’re going to see less clones this time around. Next up, Link from The Wind Waker will be entering the ring. As to how his moves will differ from Young Link remains to be seen, but his inclusion makes sense with The Wind Waker being the most recent incarnation of “boy” Link, as well as the next one (in Phantom Hourglass). Lastly, Metroid’s Ridley will finally be playable in the Super Smash Bros. series. With Samus, Zero Suit Samus, and Ridley in Brawl and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption all coming this year, this is definately a year for Metroid.
Aside from Sakurai’s interview, Sonic and the Secret Rings director Yojiro Ogawa recently told the Nintendo Official Magazine that he would love to see Sonic in Brawl. “In my personal opinion, it would be great to have Sonic in it. But that would really involve Sonic and Nintendo’s management, it’s nothing to do with me!” Hopefully, Ogawa’s expressed desires will have more weight on the Brawl team than the fans do. I know some people around my dorm that desperately want Sonic in this game - as do I.

Ridley is amazing.
Bowser Jr. is annoying.
And Wind Waker Link is just…cool, I guess.
I agree with Matthew.
RIDLEYYYY! man that could be really cool!
Um… This news is very old. At least from June of last year. That 1up article you linked is even dated 06/07/2006. And this has never once been confirmed by Sakurai on the official website, nor has it ever been reported by Gamespot, IGN, or any large gaming website.
Hell, those big websites didn’t even report it as a RUMOR. 1up.com reported it long ago ( trying to pass it off as fact, and for that, I don’t trust a damn thing 1up.com says. Until I see something official on the official SSBB site, or a press release given by Gamespot or IGN, I refuse to believe a word of it.
For the record, I touched on the rumors on my own website back in June, here:

Addition of the Hero of the Winds: AWESOME
Removal of Ice Climbers: HORRIBLE. Those are my characters! DANG it.
Bowser Jr.: Um, WHY? Remove this piece of crap and get my Climbers back! What a waste of a spot. Oh great, now we get a high-pitched nasal-voiced turtle with a paintbrush over two mountains-climbing, hammer-wielding eskimos.
Not an improvement.
