If you saw the update for today then you saw the Franklin Badge with the word Mother on it. That's the game ness is from and I'm pretty sure Nintendo wouldn't include something from the agem Mother without putting ness in it.

Yeah, he was in the 1st two, but i'm pointing out that since they showed an item from his game, he'll probably be announced soon

Well, not necessarily... but it would be cool. It'd be even cooler though, if Earthbound was released on the VC :P.

As far as I know both Melee and the original Smash bros. featured the "Hoi-Poi" Capsules from Dragon Ball (at least I think that's what they're called), yet there were no Dragon Ball characters.

But I seriously doubt they would remove Ness.

Is there anything WRONG with having an item that says that? :P but yea...just like Luigi, Ness is certain to be in this game. Maybe as an unlockable again?

Ness would pretty much have to be in the game, 1 because of the item hint, and secondly he was in Melee and in the first one.

I can't believe they have that item on there, so friggen retro. If anyone doesn't know, the item is used on the SNES Earthbound to reflect lightning attacks and such.

No, Ness is not necessarily confirmed.

Look at the badge, it clearly states "Mother", favoring the japanese side of the franchise. If they are indeed keeping with the most updated version of each game franchise, then its more likely that Lucas will be in the game. If the badge had said Earthbound on it, it would be a completely different story.

If my theory holds up then this could mean that Mother 3 (or Earthbound 2) could be making its way stateside. Hopefully in some kind of DS enhanced experience. Smash Bros is too big of a franchise for Nintendo to just drop in an ambigious character from a game that was never released here. The exception was Fire Emblem for Melee, Roy and Marth more specifically. However the key difference with that franchise was that they were secret characters. Looking at their track record, i doubt that nintendo will make the Earthbound/Mother characters secret again after being playbale from the start in Melee.

Also to further aid my theory on mother 3 coming stateside, after their introduction in Melee, the fire emlem series finally was released, albeit with different characters, they were still released.
