Sakurai already stated there wouldn't be a adventure mode like Subspace Emissary. Anyways, that really doesn't qualify him as a possibly returning character. That was the only game, besides his little console game, for him to be featured in. Nintendo is really trying to place the notably recent and popular characters...
