Sonic playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Blue Hedgehog haters will get their chance to beat up Sega's mascot in the eagerly awaited Wii game.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a busy guy these days. Not only is he going to be competing against Mario in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, he's now going to be fighting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Due out in Europe and Japan in Q1 2008 and at a now-undetermined date in North America, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a fighting game for the Wii featuring a variety of playable iconic video game characters, including Link, Mario, Wario, Solid Snake, and a suitless Samus.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl will also feature online multiplayer battles between up to four players, along with a new adventure mode called The Subspace Emissary, where gamers pick a favourite character and then journey on an adventure to do battle with various bosses from Nintendo games. Other stages for players to battle in include Delfino Plaza, Yoshi's Island, and Sky World.

The superfast Sonic first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Megadrive in 1991, as a Sega mascot to rival Nintendo's popular Mario character. Since then he has appeared in numerous games, comics, and cartoons.

    i just got brawl and have already unlocked Sonic. He's a really good fighter and isn't too hard to control. He and Captain Falcon and Solid Snake are my favorite and best players and... I think GameSpot has gone mad or something. Who doesn't like Sonic? Sonic rules! I think Sonic had produces very good games so GameSpot should delete that comment immediately.

    Sonic looks incredibly good in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but really hard to control, kind of like Falco. Can't wait to try him out.

    It is pretty funny how Gamespot blatantly hates sonic. I'm looking forward to beating him up too though.

    i believe that it shouldn't be a question of who's better.I mean have people asked who would win in a fight sonic or link or Pikachu vs sonic or Kirby vs sonic.they should have a mode where u make your own character.so those who ask of who's better why don't you make a character fusion.i plan if they would do this i would make a fusion of Mario,sonic,link(maybe),kirby and pikachu,this would be great way for some to answer some questions so take this seriously!

    CAN'T WAIT!! Did you check these articles about him? The first one mentions about a Capcom Source that is reliable because Nintendo Project was told about Resident Evil 5 and Umbrella Chronicles before announcement. So sure as heck Megaman will be getting in, and also the second one says there will be a Megaman game for Wii.

    Therefore he WILL be able to get in and will announce him this month or next. The game might be delayed as a result as well, so what Megaman deserves it and I can't wait for him. GO MEGAMAN!!

    what is GS's problem with sonic? they just outright hate him. its sad.

    On a lighter note, im quite sure there are many people who would buy a Wii only for brawl, which seems to be getting better and better, now with a level editor and the blue hedgehog making a debut, and some more unreleased features... and ill probably be one of these people.

    anyone who thinks tails or knuckles will be playable...its not going to happen. It's been said that third party characters would amount to 1-2 besides Snake and they wouldn't waste another spot on another Sega character

    It just gets better and better... but I agree, the headline seems a bit biased. Games previous to the 360/ PS3 game were amazing. And Sonic and the Secret Rings was great.

    You are right shadw94 about megaman has a character to be added in SSBB. Masterchief form Halo? 1. Don't think so and 2. It would ruin the game. What they can add is bomberman! like megaman they have both many games for nintendo consoles, they should have their place in this game. Another character and it woul be interesting is Ryu from Street Fighter! Why? Don't know but if Snake is there Ryu would be there also. Cloud from FF shouldn't be there because there is too many characters with swords then Naruto!!!

    it'll be better if u can use knuckle joe (assist trophy) as a character. cuz all the characters in ssbb r either tall or jus plain not good to use. ive never used peach and think dats a waist of character. if theyre gonna take out better people than her than y not jus take out the good people. and i think dat megaman would also be a good add-on. like they did with link and young link. it'll be like samus and mega man. itl be pretty cool if they put masterchief in with his stick grenades. but that will ruin the whole game. they should also make the selectable characters a bigger choice. if its a small variety then whats da point of taking out the characters. well dats my opinion. i didnt really like the idea of postponing it but its a better thing becuz they can make the game better and probably add mega-man or more characters. or maybe but in shadow!!!!!

    Biased. Sure the PS3/360 game wasn't as good, but that doesn't mean GS staff to completely despise the series.
