@Kaboom Well, that does tend to depend upon Square more than anything. It's difficult for Nintendo to do anything with those games without say so from Square as well. And they seem to be very stubborn recently.

It would be very interesting to see these characters included. They have a lot of options with this game and hopefully it can be as successful as Skylanders in its own way. If they do manage to get the rights to Star Wars and Marvel's characters, I do not have any doubt that it will be able to do just that.
