Sakurai - Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS not adding a lot of 3rd party characters, roster limits due to 3DS restrictions
The following comes from a Kotaku interview with designer Masahiro Sakurai...
"I'm really sorry...If I were to answer that question, I'd get in a lot of trouble in a lot of different ways, so I can't answer. But I think I can say generally that there won't be a trend of adding a lot of third-party characters. You can sort of think of Mega Man as being the special case."
On the 3DS being factored into returning character decisions...
"The reality of the situation unfortunately is that there are certain limitations on the 3DS. So we're forced into the situation where we may need to reduce some characters to a certain degree. but we're really working hard in order to include as many characters as possible."
