Still. It won't happen. Lawyers in the Mushroom Kingdom have ♥♪!?'s soul locked down (aka the Moogle ambassadors who regularly visit the Kingdom: they're really super-strict hardasses, that's why you haven't seen any Squeenix characters in a Smash game. They only approve of character-centric documentaries within their own homeland and mythos but it takes forever because it's only a few really elderly Moogles who prefer their tales of blue boogers and small doll-looking anime people on the portable "3DS" device, because the "investor Moogles" back in Squeenix world knows that a noticeably larger percentage of people would prefer to see the tales of those people told through a small device with two screens that can fit in your pocket)
(it is worth mentioning that the Nintendo overlords are still a little sore about the majority of the Square people jumping ship after they heard about a company called "SONY" making off with the SNES-CD technology that could potentially change the future of "video games")
Poor Geno's literally soulless at this point - that's why his likeness is just an instruction-spouting animatronic in Superstar Saga. Because those damn Moogles won't let ♥♪!?'s soul manifest in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Damn those Squeenix-Nintendo Moogle ambassadors are such hardasses. >:{
But that's not even the worst of it - it's those terrible, squabbling investors who keep arguing behind the Moogles, pulling the strings, but that's a talk for another time. >:{{{{
