Relax, I was only joking. I don't think it'd do well either.

oh crap,I forgot,Knuckles would be a great 3rd party addition
If Capcom wasn't in a place where its biggest cash cows were "Our Characters vs. Their Characters" games, I don't think that'd be such a pipe dream. (Probably why we'll also never see any Megaman characters, either, despite that franchise being so integral to the NES years.)
...OK, if Viewtiful Joe and Mega Man are pipe dreams, those two are pipe comas.
Banjo-Kazooie might happen, though! They were in that Sonic racing game, so obviously not above sleeping around with other franchises.
How about Mac from Punch-Out? The Wii remake was pretty dang fun and pretty well-received.
Something tells me Snivy would be playable. You can't go anywhere gamewise without seeing that thing plastered somewhere.

Those with a * are new to the series.
Eh, no real information on characters yet, bummed... But a little intrigued as well. I was also wondering if they could come up with a dumber sounding console name than the Wii and Wii-U takes the cake on dumbest letter to add to an existing console name that when said out loud makes you sound extremely dense.
as far as new Nintendo characters how about:
Louie from Pikmin 2
Dr. Cygor from Warioware
Paper Mario (Like how SSBM had Dr. Mario) from Paper Mario (I'm thinking alot of hammer based moves)
Commander Khan from Elite Beat Agents
