Nintendo appears to have slipped up. These characters can at least be said to be coded into the game, though whether they are complete at all beyond that is unknown. What's good is that with the presense of Jigglypuff and Ness it seems to me that they do at least WANT to have all the previous contenders in there (meaning that Captain Falcon and perhaps Ganondorf might also return). This however is reaching. Again, the most I can say is they at least have the code for those characters (at least in portrait form) in the game.

Glad to see there is finally some confirmation about Ness, although I'm sure I could have gotten along with Lucas. I can't believe how many playable characters there are going to be in this game.

Such a strange way to make a game...

(The secret development team behind the game revealed!)

I have never heard of a game being developed like that before. I think Sakurai mentions it in the interview, but there is no way a new game could be developed with piecemeal staff like that if it wasn't already a well-established series. It's even more of a testament to the team if the game turns out great since it can be tough to bring a new group of people together successfully on their first project.
