So the music section was added to the official site today and at the bottom it credits (some or all?) of the 3DS Version's composers (Although I am sure they compose for both versions and the Wii U will boast more composers.) The 3DS version only has 2 song selections per stage so this is quite the list of people with amazing track records, no pun intended. Now some things caught my eye- The Xenoblade and Metal Gear Solid composer especially. Could a Metal Gear stage/music appear without Snake? What else has this composer done? All the Namco Bandai Composers are new additions since Brawl (Obviously) but that makes sense, but are we getting more Namco Music than just Pac Man. I mean we already have 2 Namco Items. Another thing- Do they credit composers if the songs were just ripped from respective games instead of being composed/remastered specifically for smash? Because Rhythm Heaven's Tsunku isn't credited, but he also has cancer so he may not be working as of right now. Then again this might not even be the full credits, but it is still impressive. Thoughts on what this could mean for any newcomers/vetrans?

Edit:
I didn't say anyone is confirmed, but it makes sense if Snake (or Shadow Moses Island from Brawl) are returning or a first/second party character like Shulk (or a Xenoblade stage) will appear that its composers would be responsible for some of its track selection. In Brawl some of the composers were brought in to remix/remaster their works for a certain franchise (I know Metal Gear was one of them.) At least this speculation is better than 'I saw this character in the clouds of a reveal trailer!' The only one that makes sense to be there and isn't and that I care about is a main Rhythm Heaven composer-
It's probably the title of the thread that is is misleading- Oh well, we were all tired when the site finally updatedthis morning last night.
I thought it's kinda common sense we aren't getting characters because these just are the composer's notable works. However when a composer is known for working on over six entries on a series with a possibly cut veteran (Snake,) it does raise some hope that veteran will return, correct?. This is why I also wanted to know if recycled music from the original game/earlier smash games get credited because that also means first party games like Xenoblade could have some music pulled from it for a stage.
