@IceSeason101: Metal Gear: Ghost Babel (Metal Gear Solid in the U.S.). Game was released exclusively for the Game Boy color, upon request from Nintendo to Hideo Kojima/Konami in order to have Metal Gear Solid on said handheld. However, Ghost Babel isn't a port of the PS1 Metal Gear Solid, but is instead an original game that serves as an alternate sequel to the original Metal Gear game for the MSX PC/Nintendo Entertainment System. While the NES port of the original Metal Gear is indeed a port (albeit with a number of differences from the MSX version, which I believe is considered the canon version of the game), Ghost Babel is (again) a Metal Gear game that came out for a Nintendo platform and only a Nintendo platform. Soooo, like it or not, Snake has a little more history with Nintendo than just an NES port of the original Metal Gear.

This may not make much of a difference in some eyes, I know, but I just thought that I'd point out the existence of Ghost Babel in case you weren't aware of it, while also using it in a counter-argument has evidence that Snake's return in a future Smash Bros. game may be a little more likely than some of us are giving it credit for.
