So for those of your curious about Solid Snake's status in the new Super Smash Bros.:

Oh? So Kojima doesn't know? Considering Kojima was the one who wanted Snake in Super Smash Bros. to begin with (and since SEGA representitives were all "hush-hush" about Sonic's inclusion), I think this might be a sign that he's not returning... Which one the one hand, would be a shame, but on the other hand, I won't miss him terribly. Didn't really use him that much, and despite being personally requested by Hideo Kojima himself, I never didn't think he "fit in" with the Super Smash Bros. crowd... Plus, I have a policy of thinking only one character from one company (no other Sega characters, no other Capcom characters), and if Snake doesn't return, I feel like this increases the chances of Simon Belmont (who I'd much rather prefer to see playable in this series).
Also, excuse me while I go on a mini-rant for a moment...
WHAT THE FLIPPING GIZARD?! Why the Hell wasn't Yoshi revealed today? I mean, I know he's coming back, but why didn't they do it today when Yoshi's New Island was released?! At first I thought "well, technically, today is the release date in North America and Europe, so maybe it'll go by the Japanese release date." Yeah, Diddy Kong was revealed on Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze's NA and Europe release date, but that's the exception, all other character reveals correspond to the Japanese release date of games... Then I realized that Yoshi's New Island doesn't HAVE a release date in Japan yet! So I figured "Oh, well then maybe Yoshi will be revealed on the release date of Yarn Yoshi." THEN I released that Yarn Yoshi doesn't HAVE a release date yet, Japan or otherwise! So what the Hell, this was the perfect opportunity to reveal him! Now when they eventually do reveal him, people will go "HOORAY, YOSHI'S BACK!" or "It's about time!", they will go "WHY DIDN'T THEY REVEAL HIM SOONER!" I seriously can't think of a better opportunity to reveal him...
Unless they do it in a Nintendo Direct this month, which honestly feels like wasted potential. I feel like that sort of thing is better fitted for newcomers, to show off their character trailers. ...Maybe there will be a newcomer from the Yoshi series, and Yoshi will be revealed along with a newcomer? That's the only way I can imagine they'd skip over something like this...

My Brother was a Snake Main in Brawl.
If he does not appear, that is even more reason for me not to get this game.

Looking back, a lot of characters were revealed for Smash near the release date of their new games, but not the exact date.
Olimar was revealed July 12th. Pikmin 3 came out the next day. (using Japanese release dates)
Sonic was revealed Oct 1st. Sonic lost world didn't come out until near the end of Oct.
Lucario was revealed at the end of Jan even though Pokémon X and Y were released a few months earlier in Oct.
The game's release dates don't flat out guarantee that the protagonist will be revealed for Smash that day.
In the case of Olimar, they did that because the official site doesn't update on weekends, so the revealed Olimar beforehand. Sonic was revealed through Nintendo Direct because he had his own trailer to go with it. Lucario was revealed to celebrate Super Smash Bros. Brawl's anniversary.Randy Cunningham said:
So yeah, this was the perfect time to reveal Yoshi and I stand by that.

don't really see why you think the fact that the japanese release date isn't final means that yoshi can't be revealed on whenever that is
