But if they're going to, they should at least do it all the way here. If we're using Skyward Sword's coloration on Link, we should be using Headmaster's Daughter, heart-melting sweetheart Zelda.

Plus, SHE'S the goddess reincarnate. SHE'S best suited for combat

That's unlikely, remember Sakurai only points out the Japanese release for a game to confirm a related character. As of now, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze has no Japanese release date yet, in fact, its name is not even known.

I don't know what the f#%$& the deal with that is. US got Link Between Worlds like a month or two before Japan

But Konkey Dong Baja Blast is a western game

I'd like to see Cranky Kong over Diddy xD

I'd rather have my Scrooge McDuck.

don't bring that up over here.

..Why? There are a lot of characters that I'd rather have over actual Nintendo characters. Like Emil Castagnier.

No.
If a Tales of character were to ever get anywhere close to the game i'd rather have Shing or Ruca.

damn it i keep forgetting about the DS games

tbh though, I would prefer Asbel the most due to his very colorful and unique fighting style, but i'd imagine either of the two you mentioned would do best.

Here's hoping for Pac-Man.
