I see your point. I wasn't thinking of those releases *facepalm*. I do think that they will keep the popular characters of those you mentioned. Those would definitely be Sonic, Snake, and Wario. They could also delete some of the characters mentioned. You never know with Nintendverall, we don't have to worry, Nintendo will do a great job, and we'll just have to see for ourselves when the game is released (or before).Those were only lost due to the release of Windwaker and 4th generation Pokemon. Who would they replace Sonic, Snake, Wario, MK, DDD, Ike, and all of them with? I can't imagine Tails or Knuckles would replace Sonic, and MK and DDD won't be removed, because they're right under Kirby in that series.
