Wow. I just had a flash of insight.

Thats whats being built up over the last couple of years, Nintendo is preparing to buy Sega. Thats why Sonic is in brawl and Mario has appeared in M&S. I actually really think its quite likely that Nintendo is planning that.

Solid Snake has his appearance in Brawl... Does it mean Nintendo buys Konami?


Not sure if you heard the story behind that, but Solid Snake added in Brawl was actually Sakurai doing a personal favor for Kojima, who literally begged to have Snake in the game.   Kojima has been friends with Sakurai for years, and he's a huge fan of the Smash Bros. series.  He's been begging Sakurai since Melee to have Snake in the game. 

Sonic was added more as a mutually beneficial business decision.  He may also have been the trade made for lending Mario to Sega for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.   He certainly wasn't a personal favor between developers like Snake was though.
