In an interview with the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine, Super Smash Bros. Brawl director Masahiro Sakurai stated that despite the massive amount of unlockables in the game, there were also a good number of things that were cut. He said that at one point, there were "a lot more characters" in the game which ended up being removed for one reason or another.
According to the magazine, some of the characters were cut down by Sakurai's own hand. Don't get too excited for names, though: When asked, he just said, "I can't discuss which ones didn't make it." I'm betting on Mega Man being one of them. Look on the bright side; at least Sonic and Snake made it in, and the last thing Brawl needs is more clones, right?
UK readers can look for the full interview in this month's issue of ONM, on shelves tomorrow.
