I.... wouldn't exactly say that. After all, Sakurai always had a thing for including bizarre characters in the Super Smash Bros. series. The original game for the Nintendo 64 had Jigglypuff, Melee featured Mr. Game & Watch, and last but not least, Brawl added in R.O.B. This really isn't too much of a surprise for me. If anything, I LAUGHED during that Wii Fit Trainer's trailer!

And for the record, I do believe that HAL Laboratory or Sora usually develop the installments. Unless if you were referring to those two companies getting permission from Nintendo...
