According to
1up, three more Nintendo characters have been confirmed: Bowser Jr., Ridley, and Cel-Shaded/Wind Waker Link.
Sadly though three from SSBM didn't make the cut: Ice Climbers, Mr. Game & Watch, and Young Link.
According to the report, Sakurai wants a 40-character roster with 1-2 more non-Nintendo characters. My hope is that one isn't Megaman as it is Samus can kick his butt double time and with Snake not having guns (since one reason is that as it was there were plenty of fantasy guns in the game as it was) it might be more of a reason not to.
JUST A RUMOR!!!! PROVEN FALSE, TOO.
It's just a rumor. It was a typical 'so and so said they heard this from so and so' senario. The guy who spread it came to GameFaqs and denounced it. Besides, the official website would've updated by now. Also, why'd they kick out Ice Climbers and Mr. G&W? They're two of the more unique characters in Melee.
That doesn't mean WW Link, Bowser Jr. and Ridley won't get in, it's just that they aren't in as of now. The bit about 40 characters with 1-2 more third-party is true though.
I've been active at GameFaqs lately (username = MemeoryCard59), and it seems as though the two most frequently discussed characters that people want in are Geno (SMRPG) and Sonic (Sega...duh). A few other characters, namely Krystal (Starfox), Wolf (Starfox), Fawful (ML:SS), a bunch of Fire Emblem characters, and a few old classics seem to be talked about quite often too.
Yes, I'm still alive...still alive...
