Wolf could have definitely made his return. Despite not having a game recently, Star Fox is the kind of franchise that the general public knows about/or played when they were young. Especially with the announcement of StarFox Zero, I think he would've been just as good of a promotional character as Corrin is. (but without the killer moveset)
Plus, characters from past Smash Bros installments are always marketable. Many kids recognize Lucas and Roy without their games ever being released worldwide, and bought them because they "liked that character from Brawl!!!". Wolf has the Smash Bros marketability, an upcoming game, and a series with worldwide releases in the past.
