But like you said, Olimar is Nintendo, and so are other characters with not many games (Pit, Shulk, the retros...).

But Bayonetta is a Third Party, and Third Parties in Smash are supposed to be very important to the gaming industry or just to Nintendo. If anything, Nintendo is important to Bayonetta as if it wasn't because of them Bayonetta 2 wouldn't exist, but not the other way round.

Apparently Nintendo wants to buy the rights of Bayonetta or something like that, and if they do, then I would be Ok with her inclusion.
