Smash Bros. Creator On-Board For Revolution Smash

Gamespot reports that Nintendo has opened an office dedicated to the next-gen sequel to Smash Bros. From the article: "Heading up the new studio is the series' original creator, Masahiro Sakurai. He returns to the Nintendo organization after a two-year absence. According to Famitsu, Sakurai was persuaded by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata to return to Nintendo over conversations that took place at the E3 Expo held earlier this year. Preparing a new Super Smash Bros. game with such short notice was not easy for Sakurai, given the game's tight development schedule."

I'm hoping for..

I hope that they include some more characters that aren't just different looking Mario. I can understand why they need Luigi, but is Dr. Mario really necessary? Being a self proclaimed master of Smash Bros, I can feel the difference between two similar characters, but it is a little disappointing to unlock Ganondorf to find out that he is just a Cptn Falcon. I am hoping for more unique, Ice Climber-type, characters.

You realize that Smash Bros unites pretty much every franchise Nintendo ever made and that's half the point of the game? There's no need to put Mario or DK into new genres but there's no point in removing them from an all-stars game.
