read in a Nintendo Power interview with Sakurai that he was planning on taking the series in a "new direction" he also stated that he thought that they had reached a limit with the number of characters. I think this is terrible news. To quote an old saying "If it aint broke, don't fix it." personally I want all the old characters (including Roy, Mewtwo, Dr. Mario etc.) and a whole slew of New characters. My Ideas include Ridley, Skull Kid (majora's Mask), Black Knight (Fire Emblem), Ephraim (Fire Emblem), Knuckle Joe, Samurai Goroh, Black Shadow, and many more. yes this totals over 50 i'm well aware.

Do you have any thoughts on these matters?
