It is a wonder how Snake got into Brawl. Apparently by the time of Brawl's release, only four Metal Gear games were released on Nintendo consoles. And the Metal Gear series is mostly on Sony consoles. I think the only reason Snake made it to Brawl in the first place is because of his creator, Hideo Kojima requested him during Melee's development. Since Sakurai wanted to put a limit on third-party characters, Sakurai stated not everyone is returning, Snake has a bigger history with Sony, and Kojima already got his wish in Brawl, I think it is unlikely for Snake to return. At least we still have Sonic. And I think Sonic deserved to be the sole third-party veteran because of his bigger history with Nintendo, his bigger fanbase that barely got him to Brawl, and that current Nintendo/Sega deal. If another third-party character gets announced, it would more likely to be Pac-Man. Because Namco is making it, and people want Pac-Man in.
