If Square let one of their characters into Smash Bros they'd make Nintendo sell the character as DLC and then lock all the moves behind DLC too.

Noting the significant preemptive internet backlash against the idea of including Pac-Man as a playable character, Sakurai caters to his audience and announces the newest fighter, Ms. Pac-Man.

I honestly really enjoyed Pac-Man World 2. It was a pretty fun game, even if the red ghost was a massive prick of a boss.

Sora, Kingdom Hearts, absurdly popular, and he's been on Nintendo systems. I doubt he's getting in still, mind, but it wouldn't be the dumbest thing ever for him to get in.

I seem to remember reading that they were intrigued at the idea of adding Sora, but that was probably at the bottom of an already long list of potential characters.

Pac Man feels like a couple of good arcade games that became cultural touchstones followed by decades of middling-to-bad-to-forgettable tie-ins that basically used the name to sell stuff.

It's kind of impressive that Ice Climbers didn't get another game. Pit got Uprising, Mr. Game and Watch got the Game and Watch gallery games, ROB showed up in Mario Kart, Ice Climbers got jack and poo poo.

They got to show up in Animal Crossing, so that's something at least. I'd love a new Ice Climbers game in the vein of Uprising though.

They'd have to retool the series the same way they did Kid Icarus, because the original Ice Climbers game is kind of poo poo.

Man that just reminds me that by the time the next Smash is in development we'll have gone from kids jokingly suggest Steve from Minecraft as a newcomer to kids legitimately wondering why Steve from Minecraft isn't in Smash Bros.

Hell there's probably already young kids on Miiverse unironically suggesting him. Their logic being that if Minecraft is the biggest video game out there and Smash Bros. is a collection of some of the biggest video game characters well then why wouldn't he be in the game?

Pac Man is more iconic than Doom Guy. If Pac Man makes it, I really hope an alt costume is Ms. Pac Man. His final Smash should really be something based off Pac Man 2.

You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!
Put Call of Duty Guy in Smash, he's super iconic and CoD is the best game ever, you can even buy specially marked packages of Mountain Dew for DOUBLE XP in Smash.

He was a real glass cannon. He gets touched while fighting then his light starts flashing and its all over. For some reason in Japan he didnt do that but his reach was super lovely.

Honestly? I don't think kids know Pac Man, despite Namco's insistent efforts to make crappy Pac Man cartoons and video games aimed at them. They didn't grow up with it like adults did. I don't think Namco's kept Pac-Man relevant the same way Warner Bros has been able to keep the Scooby Doo perpetual motion device operating. The current Pac-Man thing, which is Pac-Man in high school, airs on a second-rate Disney spinoff channel. And that was the first Pac-Man game aimed at kids since.. Pac-Man World 3 in 2007. So a 6-7 year gap.
