Christ I could write a book on what you don't know, We wanted Aircraft carriers but Nintendo veto'd it, Originally the game was meant to be more open and freeform but Nintendo wanted a more Level by Level aproach, So many things and I can't remember half of them. John Kerry was the original inspiration for Colonel Austin, he had a pipe that blew bubbles ( pipe veto'd by Big N), then people started argueing about him, I said " If we make him black nobody will complain" ( Sarcastically), the lead loved that Idea. And so on and so on, The F1's about to start so maybe I can try and remember stuff latter, Sooo many years ago .

do you remember anything about the online co-op mission that had tundra and the solar empire in it with the solar dreadnought and spy blimps that was cut it was named MP16 in the files it just skips over it leading me to believe it was cut late in development it goes MP15,MP17

Well it's hard to critisize a company like Nintendo, The real reason BWii failed was there was no advertising for it, nobody knew it was out, It did get a few bad comments about being too level based and guiding the player too much but at the time Nintendo were more interesting in developing party games for casual Wii buyers. Expensive to make games like BWii didn't fit with there market.
      By the time BWii had been commissioned BWii was completely owned by the Big N, we had sold the game to them completely so they could do what they liked with it, even give it to another company. Remember Core owned Tomb Raider?,,,

Oh I do remember a story about Nintendo staff all trying to read the writting on the side of the Solar Empire fighter, It was Japanese text and the couldn't read it so they phoned up to ask what it said, I'd done it, I'd just made it up out of bit's of Japanese text but it meant nothing. They were quite dis-apointed. Oh and the Iron Legion was meant to be a hoard of demons conjured by Xylvania, I managed to find the concept for there leader.

Never say never but the chances of BW3 are VERY VERY slim, BW just didn't sell the numbers that'd prompt a sequel, you and all it's fans should have bought 2 copies .

Too Late, Though I saw one in a second hand shop for a pound so you could probably buy 50 for not much more that it would have cost you to buy a new one at the time.

Hmmm, you never know, Nintendo didn't do BW3 for 2 reasons, 1, it didn't sell well and 2, they wanted to concentrate on Milder family orientated products, the kind of stuff that sold Millions of Wii's. Now however there returning back to proper games again but it being a low selling franchise is a massive cross for it to bear.
 As for how well would the Grunt fight, He'd get killed in a second, He's cannon fodder , Can you vote for Brigadier Betty or General Herman?.

by standard means, characters like duck hunt and R.O.B. would also die easily, but sakurai has his ways. i kinda imagine the grunt playing like a cross between snake and bowser jr., using various vehicles/weaponry in combat. i imagine his final smash either being a battlestation, or a heavy tank.

Haven't seen it yet, they got cut from the original game but the Iron Legion were meant to be Demons, we had concept art and a Satan style General so I think maybe Xylvania would make an alliance with the forces of Hell and their technology might have a Germanic/ Demonic fusion. Huge giant Demons with Turrets on there back?, Jet fighters with dragon tails and breath fire?.

Maybe because the IL are bad guys, so they probably think they just need to spam combat units, leaving them stuck with Bombers for attacking at all. That earned them a memorable case of All There In The Manual where Solar turned things around with a Frigate picket line.

What I don't get is why doesn't the IL have a navy? I know certain elitists who shall remain nameless here think that navy is inherently flawed just by failing to interact well with land forces. Never mind that the Bazooka Vet can continuously sniper-shot the freaking already self-explanatory Battleship, which is what allows the Bazooka Vet to solo Ice Station X aside from the Bomber destroying the Concrete Barricade. (Yes, including the Battlestation.) Still, you'd think that they'd consider something that can traverse water, and also either doesn't have a freaking silver bullet weakness, could use a weapon that would avoid needing to rely on an Air Impact damage type (yes, I hacked the game to find this sort of stuff, sue me) to pound land forces, or both.

Ironic that those elitists would come up with an idea in an amphibious hovercraft that lugs around a cannon to blast things. That would most certainly have been useful, because the thing can then blast both land and sea units alike, which means it can be a land unit that hits sea AND a sea unit that hits land.

 To Be honest I didn't write it, I just drew the characters, It was written by a guy called Tancred Dyke Wells and I'm not sure he really thought of that. Most likely we might just not have had the time and budget to build those assets, ie The fans are gonna have to come up with a plausible reason .
  Some Assets did get designed or made and then dropped but I don't remember that happening with the Iron Legion.
