Masahiro Sakurai, developer of all Super Smash Bros games, made an announcement to ONM that during Super Smash Bros Brawl early development they had to take out some characters and features off the game to later add them to a sequel.

During the interview, Sakurai said:

“It’s taken over three years to make Brawl but I actually stopped trying to include new ideas early on in development.

What happened in the next year and a half was that we distilled the game down, worked out which ideas we had time to include and which we didn’t. Sadly, we had to trim out many great concepts just to keep within the time contraints. I had a lot more characters, for example.. but sadly I can’t discuss which ones didn’t make it.

There are 39 characters in the game this time around and just adding a few more wouldn’t be enough to justify a new game in my opinion; I’d have to draw a line in the sand and have a new approach to make it worthwhile. As long as the fans enjoy it, though, that’s what matters and in the distant future, I guess that might be something I have to consider.”

So guys, prepare in a few years for a newer version of Brawl with new characters guaranteed and expected new features, possibly improved WiFi system,  it is not yet know if this game would be developed for Nintendo Wii or for the next console in which Nintendo will develop.
