How is the creator of Kirby leaving going to affect SSBM? In fact, in the newest Kirby game, Kirby has a SSB power which he gets from the Master Hand (and I beleive Crazy Hand appears too).
They have one. The GBA. It sells more than GCN, X-Box, and PS2 combined... And the PSP isn't guarenteed to be all that great. It may sound well and good now, but when you actually play it, it may be worse than if there was a portable X-Box... *shudders at thought of a Microsoft portable console*
Nintendo hasn't been doing their best recently, I agree. They have been remaking too many games and making too many sequels of repetitive ones. But they already have a good lsiting for E3 including Paper Mario 2, Metroid Prime 2 (never played any Metroid games except a little tiny bit of zero Mission), the new Zelda game, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and a few more. And you never know, there may be a brand new regular Mario game, a new SSBM, or something we've never seen before that just blows everyone's breath away.
