Snake on the Wii

Uhh, Sakurai pretty much begged for Snake to be in Melee but it was late in development so he was included in Brawl instead. Besides, why miss the chance to motivate MGS fans who own a Wii to buy the game?

That said, Nintendo probably didn't send supply for the MGS4 launch because MGS4 does not appeal to the average Wii buyer and they were probably preparing shipments for the Brawl launch in PAL.

 

It's the other way around: Kojima begged Sakurai.

But that's really a moot point, isn't it? Kojima has stated fairly clearly that he doesn't think Metal Gear fits with the Wii audience, and I agree with him.
