Because they're developing the game.
Guess I'll learn how to wiimote then.
If I remember correctly Sakurai mentioned not having a really big third-party roster, not the whole roster, which everyone misinterpreted.
I'm sure there's plenty of characters from Nintendo left to make a big roster, and Mega Man/likely Sonic/maybe Snake are good third-party reps anyway.
How are TL and ROB obvious?
or axed because it was stupid or should be a costume, ala dr mario and pichu
Roy = Issac.
Who could replace ROB? I cant think of anyone.
Metal Sonic (and also Shadow) is one of those characters that could easily just be a skin for an existing character (sonic in this case), which would be a nice way to include "extra" characters without bloating the actual roster.While we are talking about sonic, if any sonic villain should get in, I think robot sonic would be the coolest

I can easily see Pokemon Trainer returning and I wouldn't doubt ROB at all. ROB is just so unique and silly I think he's a great fit, similar to Villager and WFT really. I don't understand why everyone is talking about changing Pokemon Trainer, Red and the Kanto mons are going to be far more iconic to the series than any suggestible replacement.Toon Link, ROB, and Pokemon Trainer are far from locks to return (Pokemon Trainer will likely be remade with different Pokemon and/or mechanics, perhaps as N). Knowing Nintendo, they'd put in Crom over Lucina/Lyn and Matthew over Isaac. -_- Snake could very well be replaced by Raiden (which would be majorly lame). Waluigi, King K Rool, and Ridley will probably get long hard looks. Shulk needs to be in not because of how good a game Xenoblade is (although anyone that hasn't checked it out is seriously missing out), but because of how creative they could get with his moveset. There's more potential variety with him than other swordsmen like Marth/Ike/Link etc.
