Pac-Man (Pac-Man)
Palutena (Kid Icarus)

Princess Zelda (The Legend of Zelda)
R.O.B (Gyromite)
Robin (Fire Emblem)
Rosalina and Luma (Super Mario)
Samus (Metroid)
Sheik (The Legend of Zelda)
Shulk (Xenoblade)
Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog)
Toon Link (The Legend of Zelda)
Villager (Animal Crossing)
Wario (Super Mario)
Wii Fit Trainer (Wii series)
Yoshi (Super Mario)
Zero Suit Samus (Metroid)

Alternate costumes for Bowser Jr are the Koopalings:
Larry, Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, or Ludwig
Alternate costume for Olimar is Alph

So including 8 costume swap characters we're at 76 characters.

How many more could they possibly include?

Any speculations? Wishes?

I really hope we get Simon Belmont. Seems fairly likely considering Bomberman is an assist trophy and Snake is back.

Crash Bandicoot could be a good choice with the trilogy on Switch.

Rayman games have a long history on Nintendo consoles and Ubisoft doesn't have a rep yet.

Another Sonic character like Tails or Shadow could be easy. Or a Virtua Fighter character, or maybe Joe from Shinobi.

Still only two DK characters after all these years. King K.Rool and/or Dixie Kong would be good choices. DK Jr, maybe.

I'm not up to date on the current Pokemon games but there's always at least one new Pokemon character.

A few more clones would be easy. Dark Samus, maybe another Punch-Out fighter or F-Zero driver, Proto-Man, Waddle Dee from Kirby.

Still surprised Toad isn't in after all this time. Captain Toad from the recent Mario games would be a good choice.

I'd be down for Tails, IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

My favorite is Knuckles, such a cunt. So much to relate to there.

Check the OP again, Simon and Richter are already confirmed.

As for your other choices
-I could easily see Ken as they're doing "echo fighters" now, which are just clones of other fighters with slightly tweaked stats and animations. So Ken fits that bill nicely
-Fierce Deity Link has been a selectable costume for Link since the last game
-If they do anybody from Shinobi, I'd have to think it would be Joe Musashi.
-Doubt Cody and Guy are relevant enough but I wouldn't mind them
-Raiden was in Playstation All Stars and I doubt they want to remind anybody of that turd
-Kazuma I could see but then again, SEGA ported Yakuza 1 and 2 to Wii and it didn't do well in Japan
-Not sure how many Street Fighter reps we're getting. But I'd guess Guile or Ken or Chun Li before Akuma.
-Strider is cool, but again, not much going on with that franchise
-The Ninja Turtles are in Injustice 2, and they're more general pop culture icons than game icons
-Kenshiro as in FOTNS? I don't see it. If we're getting any anime characters my money would be on Goku.

I did mention three of the characters announced today when I originally made the thread. So I got those ones right at least.

Yeah, I'm with you.

There are tons of characters with no chance I'd love to see too.

I'm still bummed Bomberman is just an assist trophy.
