Another Kid Icarus item? This is getting pathetic Sakurai.

Your attitude is pathetic. Kid Icarus: Uprising did incredibly well sales wise and with the reviews, and much of the games items would transition perfectly over, it makes sense. And it's a series which saw a fairly recent release, while the Mother series hasn't done anything whatsoever, except make Earthbound available on the VC.
Also, the fact that they showing many of one series new items doesn't mean other series won't get new items. Save the baseless criticisms for until you actually play the game and then get disappointed about such pointlessly dumb things if it turns out that some series didn't get the supposed equal representation you think they all deserve, when they don't. Some of these series should be happy they're getting any representation at all, and I'm glad they do, but I'm not going to call out a game if they don't necessarily cover one franchise to a degree that I might have hoped they would have.

I don't even understand why anybody would be mad about Kid Icarus getting a bunch of representation, it's a great series that deserved to be revived. Also, it's not like Mother got a new character in Brawl or anything, and while Lucas may or may not come back, it's not like they've just always ignored the Mother series or other series for that matter.
