True enough, can't say I wouldn't like to see Snake pull a bit of CQC on Mario though.
Knowing the SSB team they'll probably throw in tons more secret characters than Melee. And with Snake in the picture, I'm sure we'll see plenty of other characters in the mix.
Gameplay wise I like where its going, I really can't see myself using the Wii controller's motion detection to beat the crap out of somebody. Online play doesn't hurt either.
