This needs to be repeated

Just saw this on Jayme's LJ.

Smash Bros. for the Wii has been revealed. It will be called Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The special Wii controller will *not* be required, but it will work. New characters being added - Wario, Metaknight (from Kirby), Pit of Kid Icarus, Zero Suit Samus of the recent Metroid: Zero Mission, and... Solid Snake. That's right, he's not a Nintendo character. But apparently Hideo Kojima actually *asked* for him to be included. (Or actually, asked for him to be included in Melee, but it was too late to do so at the time.)

Amazingness!

Hey! Whose footprints are these?

Um...I thought only exclusive Nintendo characters can be in SSB games...?

Erm, that was me, sorry. Forgot to log in.

Not anymore! Solid Snake is quite definitely in. As I said, Hideo Kojima actually asked for him to be included! Also, according to Super Smash Blog:

When asked, Shigeru Miyamoto said that they were in talks with other companies about using other third party characters, but wouldn’t say which ones.

I heard they were talking about trying to get Sonic, for realz. Not for fakez like in all those fake Faqs and boards and stuff. I wonder what other 3rd party characters they're going to have. Mega Man would be cool. And I can only wish that they'd have Leon S. Kennedy from RE. Hmm.

That is *exactly* what they need.
