I still fail to see how returning characters on various games are news worthy :P I think it would be far more news worthy to see which(if any) won't make it/don't get announced and try to figure out the various reasons for that (since it could mean anything from fixing balacing issues to the devs simply feeling that character didn't fit anymore).
Which can go for ANY fighting game that has returning characters? Might as well not have talked about classic Mortal Kombat characters when they returned for MK9.
Different case. MK9 was a essentially a reboot (though I don't think they labeled it as one). SSB4 is not. Either way, the bigger "classic" characters were a given.
Like I said, a piece of news saying that character would NOT return (for whatever reason) would be far more interesting. Likewise an entire new character like the Wii Fit instructor, Village guy from Animal Crossing and whatnot. Returning characters, especially when they haven't suffered any fundamental change are just boring to discuss :P
We already know everything about them from the get go. It's more fan service (which in itself isn't bad, nor do I blame the devs for doing this) than anything else.
I'm not attacking you or your thread, just how the gaming media makes a big deal of returning characters when in fact non-returning ones can tells us far more about the game.
