I totally forgot about that picture.

If we're to assume this picture shows us veterans who are returning, we have:
Mario
Luigi
Metaknight
Kirby
Wario
Donkey Kong
Zero-Suit Samus
Mr. Game & Watch
Link
Pikachu
Pit
Fox
Marth
There's also a Mr. Saturn, so at least one of the Earthbound representatives should be returning.
What I think is interesting, and a little disheartening, is that we see a Pikmin with no Olimar. Considering that Olimar isn't even in Pikmin 3, could this mean he's been bumped in favor of promoting one of the Pikmin 3 captains?
