We got the better Pac-Man design and an awesome Mega Man one thanks to him though.

In those cases it worked out.

But would you agree that it wouldn't be worth having Pac-Man if he had his modern design? Would you be like, "Oh man he shouldn't be in the game looking like THIS!"

No of course not. You'd be happy he's in the game at all! I wouldn't gamble a characters inclusion for such reasons.

What if Namco really wanted Pac-Man to have his new design and then Sakurai decided to not put him in? Would you have liked that?

Ehh... Brawl didn't have Pac-Man, because Sakurai didn't believe in fighting pizza slices. We have him now though and yes, I would've taken Ghostly Adventures Pac-Man if that's what we got. But we got the better Pac-Man. If we didn't get Pac-Man at all, it wouldn't be much different from Brawl. People will request the shit out of him, but it's not like the game's dead without him.
But that's all moot, because we have the better Pac-Man, we have Mega Man and the whole "it could've been worse" thing is pointless, because it's not. Sakurai's bad decision making worked out for the better. Well, fuck him.
