Miyamoto wanted Pac-Man in Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS

Smash director Masahiro Sakurai revealed to Famitsu that Miyamoto wanted Pac-Man in the next iterations of his famous fighting game. While at the time he thought the idea was too far-fetched, the round, yellow guy did eventually make it.

“During development of Smash Bros. Brawl, Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo approached me and asked, ‘Can’t we have Pac-Man as a guest character?’” Sakurai recalled. “At the time, imagining the image of Pac-Man and his incomplete pizza shape, I thought to myself, ‘Hmmm… That’s a little too farfetched.’”
