This brings up so many questions! Like, will Sonic be able to pick up rings to regain health? Will both attack buttons just make Sonic jump? Most importantly, will he be bringing Tails, Knuckles, Rouge the Bat, Amy Rose, Mecha Sonic, Metal Sonic, Cream the Rabbit, Big the Cat, Bean the Dynamite, and all of his other friends along?
In less happy Brawl news, the game has been delayed until January 24th for Japan. No word on whether the release date has changed for other regions, but we doubt it.

This is really awesome news. I've been a Nintendo fan all my life and never owned any other systems - but as you can probably tell from my name I've always been a huge fan of Sonic.
I would love to play as Tails, but my guess is that other characters would either be reserved as Assist Trophies or simply not in the game at all.
I bet there will be a Sonic level now...

oh my God... *wipes tear off of cheek*.... i never thought he'd be so cool... i was never a sonic fan, to be honest, but this... this is just amazing... this game is already going to be the game of the year (halo 3? what's that?), but now... game of the millennia! i truly cannot wait, i want it now.

If anyone cares, I've got the video up on YouTube. And I wasn't surprised about this, either... it was only a matter of time before he WAS announced- otherwise Sonic fanboys around the world probably would have went insane. >> http://youtube.com/watch?v=8b-ERZWDKjY (I recorded it directly from the site.. which was a stupid thing to do)

Anyone wanna place bets on his stage.
I'll go with either Green Hill or ARK (the latter seeming more likely since the video was using the SA2 theme)

Hahaha, the "Iwata, Drop the Bomb!" guy. Haven't seen him in ages.
Oh, and seriously awesome SSBB news. Sonic and online co-op. This is just shaping up to be better and better.

Um, that voice for Sonic. That's not the Sonic voice I'm familiar with. I haven't watched 4Kids' dub of Sonic X, but I've heard a lot of bellyaching about SEGA's decision to fire the original voice actors for the games and replace them with the actors that 4K cast.
So, is this the 4Kids voice of Sonic? If so, this would be quite the BAD thing for Sonic fans. There's now an organized boycott over any US version of Sonic games that use the 4Kids voices. Would Smash Bros Brawl be subject to the boycott too?

Oh, grow up and play the damn game, all twelve of you boycotters. You're not going to damage the sales.
Now for Megaman and Simon Belmont (Castlevania), and we're set.

I'm pretty sure that Sonic's voice is Ryan Drummond, who was the voice of Sonic in SA1 and 2 (ie: NOT the 4kids VA).

Watched the videos 10 times at 6am this morning before work! This news definitley made my month! One thing is definiltey for sure....Sonic has not been this cool in years... I have always been a long time sonic fan, but recently I found myself slipping away mainly due to SEGA's complete overhaul of everything that made sonic so cool and unique... Anywayz... it looks like this game is bringing back the kick @ss sonic with attitude and no girls along to fall in love with... i mean come on.. who needs love in a sonic game....jeez. O yea, and my bet is definitley on Greenhill Zone in the classic stages. Also, I would have to agree that we are prolly not gonna see any other characters from a sonic game playable in this one. I mean look at DK it took him 2 games before he got his buddy Diddy.

The best part is that we can put this all behind us. Now every discussion of Brawl won't be derailed by WHEN IS SONIC GOING TO SHOW UP

TBA...is on the north american site.
It's delayed. No doubt about it.
GOD DAMN IT!!!
Oh well, I guess this means i can put my money into some other games like umbrella chronicles and stuff.
Oh well. January 24th, you will be a great day, even though this is about the 3rd time that Brawl has been delayed.

I was just going to post something reminding Nintendo to announce Simon Belmont's inclusion. Then I read MC's post.
Seriously, though, all these ideas people have for characters to be included would be awesome.

Hooray for the SA2 theme, that was a kickass rock track
But, again, this only allows you more time to deal with other awesome games this holiday season. I needed more time for Fire Emblem and NiGHTS 2
