No Megaman in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

When Solid Snake was announced as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, gamers didn’t know what to think. Months later, when Sonic the Hedgehog was confirmed, it became apparent that all rules were off. Then came the flood of speculation over who was going to show up next.

For a long time, Megaman has been the most hoped for character in Nintendo’s upcoming Wii fighter. Today, those hopes and dream were just about laid to rest, as Megaman man creator Keiji Inafune reported that no one has been in contact with him regarding the issue. In a recent podcast, Inafune remarked:

“Well, I really do love Super Smash Brothers. It’s a great series…but, Nintendo hasn’t asked me yet if they can use Mega Man in their game.”
There is some time left for this to happen, but the clock is definitely ticking. For those holding their breathe in anticipation, it’s probably safe to breathe. That is, if you’re a quitter.

    mega man is the only 3rd party character in super smash bros. brawl should be shown as a playable character, because sonic and snake is the only 2 shown for brawl as a 3rd party characters.and no more 3rd party characters for super smash bros. brawl after mega man is shown as a playable character.and he should be shown by jan ,10 ,2008.

    if it was me i would of added lots of characthers i mean i have been waiting on this game for months and now all i see is a really wack roster, i think the creator should give new characther updates every week so the game will be more intresting. like for example, next week features megaman put him in the game and so us how to unlock him.
