Sonic coming to Smash Bros Brawl

Wii News | Co-op play possible via the internet as well.
Nintendo has announced at a retailer conference that Sonic the Hedgehog will be one of the characters in Super Smash Brothers Brawl, according to IGN.

Sonic will reportedly be able to transform into Super Sonic in the middle of battles, which is very cool indeed. Brawl will include online play, so you can battle against friends worldwide, but apparently players will also be able to play co-op online as well. The game is set for release early next year in Australia.

Pretty much a no brainer given he was apparently the most requested character and he and Mario are both in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. Cool news indeed. Here's hope the dojo has an update with pics of him shortly.

Ok, great. Now we need Tails and Knuckles, at least.

Wasn't online play confirmed already?

NO! NO! NO!

Other characters has been one of the things that have made the recent Sonic games crap (that and broken gameplay along with the worst storylines seen since Shaq-Fu)

Great, saw this comming when there was a mess up with an advertisement with smash bro's and had sonic among the group.

I agree that no other sonic characters should be involved atm, not because they make the game crap, because this is personal.

*pause for dramatic music*

Wow - this title is shaping up to be a console buster. It just keeps getting better and better! I expect Brawl to be one of the best selling games of all time in the long run. It's just the epitome of fan service.

This is the mass hardcore/casual game the wii needs. Even sony fans at school admitted liking this one.

Go Wii!

JabJabs is right...

on the US site, they have removed the big 'DEC 3' label, or whetever the date was set to be... but maybe this means we will get it close to the other regions now?

also... for anyone undecided if sonic in brawl will fit... look at the movie, not just the pics... it really changed my attitude about it.. it's like oldschool sonic with the new 3D look icon_surprised.gif so ... very ... happy... *glee*

Man this is great news, the cast has so many great additions this time around. Smash Bros was the game that made me get a Gamecube and it looks like this will be the game that will make me buy the Wii, on the day it comes out for sure.. that is if I don't get tempted to buy one over the Christmas break. Great stuff.

According to the Japanese site, the game is going to be released 24/1/08. Whether that means a worldwide release date at that time, or the PAL version will see further delays is up to speculation.

Either way Sonic in Brawl makes the wait seem worth it. Hopefully Knuckles/Tails will be in it too, even if they're just Assist Trophies/Figures.

Quoted for truth. I was fully against Sonic being in Brawl - didn't think he'd make a good character, and would rather see about 20 other possible characters in the game. Watched the video and did an instant 180 flip on the matter icon_razz.gif

There are still a few character that I'd rather have in the game, and would substitute Sonic for in a heartbeat if it came to it (MEGAMAN DAMNIT), but now I'm actually looking forward to using him when it finally comes out. He'll be like Jigglypuff, but less ****.

If I had to take a character out to replace it with Megaman it would be the generic poke'mon trainer.

Yeah, in the past. As long they didn't make them 'clones' of each other they'd RAWK!

Oh god no. Don't touch the 3 completely original characters (Squirtle, damn it - SQUIRTLE).

That being said, I certainly see Megaman getting in. And Pacman too.

Well Pac Man was in Mario Kart arcade games, so that's a definate possibilty. I would way prefer Mega Man to Pac Man though. Give the possibility of Ms. Pac Man thogh and it's another story.
