Smash Bros. 3DS Japanese Packaging POSSIBLY Indicates Snake is cut from the game
- Thread starter GregLombardi
- Start date
But since the gamecube and gba, Sonic has been on every nintendo console... Anyways i don't see the probem if Snake is in or not personally. He may be cut from Smash but we may see him in a new playstation all-stars
Why should it matter? He was already in Brawl and he's a well known character from an established franchise.
I'd probably not be discussing this but seeing people actually happy that he's not in just baffles me.
Any cut character should be mourned.
Snake was good, unique in terms of moveset and theme. Plus, those codec easter eggs were wonderful and more than justified his inclusion. I was kinda hoping the Kid Icarus Uprising cast and the MGS cast would do a big codec easter egg for Smash 4...

I'll be pushing hard for snake via DLC.

He was obnoxious to play against in Brawl, tbh.
It was a pic of the day a while back. It's his NES Open Tournament Golf costume. As for Samus....
Yes! The Open Tournament Golf outfit is awesome. I also use it in Mario Golf World Tour. Not that I'm ever gonna play as Mario in Smash, but still, neat inclusion.

To be fair this doesnt confirm anything. We know rayman is in the game as a trophy, yet Ubisoft isnt listed

Still not losing hope on a unique character until the final roster is shown.
For everyone feeling so sure of themselves, let's see what happens first. I'll link this thread to all the haters IF he's still in, cause watch, if he's still back in I can imagine many people going "yesss! glad he was never cut!".

A good snake was a treat since they were few and far between. Though his melee and weight was a OP in brawl.
To their credit, I am pretty sure the people being actively opposed to him being in Smash would suddenly change their minds just like that.
You have a point .... unless they CUT him xD

what?
Sad Snake is gone
He has a rather robust history on Nintendo platforms.
Also, he was awesome to play as.
Technically, that's Naked Snake.
They sorta pushed MGS4 in Brawl.

You know what's worse than people hating on Snake? People getting super salty about people hating on Snake. Everyone's entitled to an opinion.

? A character was in the previous installment of the franchise and then he isn't in the seuqle. That's called being cut.

If only.
So has Snake!
1988: Metal Gear (NES)
1990: Snake's Revenge (NES)
2000: Metal Gear: Ghost Babel (GBC)
2001: Konami Krazy Racers (GBA, had Gray Fox instead of Snake but still MGS!)
2002: Evolution Skateboarding (GC, playable Snake & other MGS characters)
2003: DreamMix TV World Fighters (GC, Snake is a playable character)
2004: Metal Gear Sold: The Twin Snakes (GC)
2005: Yu-Gi-Oh! 7 Trials to Glory: World Championship Tournament 2005 (GBA, cameo)
2007: Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Rev, again as a playable character)
2010: New International Track & Field (DS, playable here to)
2011: Scribblenauts (DS, JP version has Snake)
2012: Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D (3DS)
Seems like Snake/MGS is more Nintendo relevant in the past decade+ than it was in the previous! Hey Snake Eater is on 3DS? Smash is on 3DS? Nope he totally doesn't belong!
In a cancelled would-be paid demo >_<
Kojima has even openly said he's all for Snake returning in Smash 4

Well, "Solid" Snake had Naked Snake's face and made butterfly C4 as well. He was a mix of everything.

I must have missed Kojima's director credit in prior SSB titles.
I was referring to the output of Metal Gear games on Nintendo consoles, which is comparable.
Twin Snakes: 2004 - Brawl: 2008
MGS3D: 2012 - Smash 4: 2014
Nobody's being salty here from what I'm seeing.
I don't quite understand what you are getting at

Do you really think that he didn't know if Snake was in the game at that point? That was only a few months ago and the roster was decided near the start of development. He's the creator of Metal Gear and head of the main MGS developer as well as being vice president of Konami Entertainment Japan. Of course he knows. He just couldn't outright say it either way.
Cosmic Dreams

Exactly. ALL he really needs is a tune up in his moveset, as well as his hitboxes and strength. That's pretty much it.
I don't know how development and porting works but I would imagine it wouldn't be the hardest thing for the team to do. I think the biggest thing Bandai Namco and Sakurai would have to do is make new codecs, but oh my god, apparently this is too much because we should cut a character many people actually liked!
Seriously, I would not count him out just yet. If he is cut though, many of us will be bummed. If anything, I would love to see almost the entire Brawl cast return so everyone's happy!

He hates snake with a passion and all those who liked him. Better to not get started with him.

Ah, but you can see why Nintendo would probably not want to promote anything of Konami when they haven't released anything or developing anything for Wii U as of present.
As much I want Snake back in all honesty the writing was on the wall he wasn't gonna be back =/
It seems kinda likely that they don't have to credit the owners on the box if they're not depicting them there, but at the same time I can't imagine them not advertising Snake.
LOL at the people saying "It was obvious!!1". It wasn't obvious at all.
And, I don't know, I still have a glimmer of hope. He did fit amazingly.
Not that I care about him specifically, I just hate to lose characters who had a very unique style and moveset. You cut a semi-clone like Wolf? I can live easily with that and StarFox is one of my favorite franchises ever. StarFox still gets more than enough recognition. You cut Snake? Well that brings away a whole lot of other things with him and that can't be good (never played a MGS game).

This wasn't necessary.
Well, Konami supported Wii with games in general at least. Outside of Virtual Console they're not releasing any Wii U games at all. Their 3DS support is almost nothing now too.

If that means Sami gets the moveset (with fixed hitboxes), then I'm all for it.
Lets go Sami!

I wouldn't say this is definitive, but I don't expect him to be in regardless. It would be a welcome surprise, though as he had a cool moveset. If they drop him, I'd love to learn they cloned his moves into someone else.

To be fair, how often do we even get MGS games in general? The 3DS port was fine.
Also, I haven't seen any of you answer the other posters. Where has Mega Man been?
It isn't clear to me if this packaging is actual game packaging or if it is promotional packaging, but Konami is not listed as a character credit.
As Baron Von Loathsome pointed out, there is a list of 3rd party guests focused on the back, but Snake is not mentioned at all.
Thanks to Tripon for packaging.
There's a flaw in the logic here:
Notice the package never credits Sega here, despite being confiremd. Copyright notices are only for the characters appearing/possibly appearing on thepackage.
I'm not saying it's likely he'll return. I just think it's weird that Sakurai supposedly isn't bringing him back in Smash 4 even though Kojima is okay with it and with Snake being such a big character that would attract many fans to the game again.
I'm afraid you're best bet is Project M
My bad, I meant would NOT suddenly change their mind.

As I said he definitely was a bit OP in damage output. He just needed some tweaking though.
MetaKnight was really good as well and he's obviously been tweaked a bit now In smash4.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
That's interesting find. I didn't even notice that.

OMG no Intelligent Systems copyright, Marth and Roy don't exist in Melee
Yup, just seeing Meta Knight gives me the chills lol
Honestly is there any reason why this character should use the Cypher as her recovery move?
