I don't think it's such a wise idea to trust IGN.
Super Smash Bros Brawl
-
-
"Smash Bros. has been delayed in Japan until January 24, 2008.
Nintendo shows a new trailer. Sonic is going to be a playable character! The trailer shows him transforming into Super Sonic."
Sounds something someone can just write up and make it some what believable.
and I want to get Pokemon Farm XD
-
And also, they gave us a definate date not too long ago. They wouldn't just change it like that.
-
so it be kinda BS are there any other REports on Nintendo Conference? I mean I dont care if Sonic is in or not but I dont like to be lied at haha
-
Mother 3 for Wii Ware!!!!!! (I can dream…)
Anyway, I don't care as long as Brawl still comes out here on Dec.3rd.
-
Other news sources are reporting in as well, however 'Jumping-the-gun' as my post was, I want to see some pics(footage, preferably) of the Hedgehog's confirmation.
Really hoping my first foray into the forums doesn't turn out to be a practical joke, although my gut's telling me this is the real deal…
-
I'm just happy because I can FINALLY play a good game with Sonic in it. I'll probably use him the most.
He's not only the most demanded character, and the most expected, but I think this may have some sort of deal to do with that Olympic game too. Think about it. A Sonic game with Mario in it made by Sega, and now a Mario game, with Sonic in it made by Nintendo? Obviously Nintendo got the better deal, but it makes me happy.
I'm trusting this, only because I saw it on Kotaku also. They hardly ever post news that's just rumors, or if they do, they specifically state it's only a rumor. Not coming out until after Christmas is a bit disappointing. Worst part is, it'll come out right in time for Winter-Een-Mas, right when I plan on playing a new game genre every day.

The Info that IGN got came from this site:
http://gemaga.sbcr.jp/archives/2007/10/2007_5.html -
IGN got it from a Japanese Game Magazine's Site that was Live-blogging the Nintendo Press conference, it's Legit People.
And WHY do people act like Sonic is like a Plague to Smash or something?! if you don't like the character, DON'T PICK HIM!! Or even better, FIGHT him, as a computer, Set at 1, and kick his ass for the fun of it.
I, on the other hand, would enjoy the chance to play as Sonic in a Game NOT made by the new incarnation of Sonic team, his games have just SUCKED More and more starting with Sonic Heroes… -
Him being anywhere near this game is bad. He's a shitastic character and should die already.
God damn it, this is a turn off.
-
I'll keep my point…
If Sonic is in Smash... Fine... If not, whatever...
-
Sonic USED to be awesome, then when Sonic Heroes Hit, his games got shittier and shittier to the point that the name Sonic is now Synonymous to the word Suck.
But The Character is still awesome, if not only for the nostalgia of when his games were good. and Besides, if you HATE him, like I said, just take solace in the fact that you can now WAIL on him as MUCH AS YOU WANT!! It's not like One Character is a Game-ruiner on any level, he's just ONE character. -
(Just for reference, I've ALWAYS hated Sonic games.) I don't want to wail on him, that'd be recognizing his existance.
If I can find a way to hack the game and take it out, by god, I'm doing it. Then I'll take out Zamus because she sucks, and turn all the characters into Ike.
-
ok, then Just Find out how to unlock him, and… don't do it...
-
That's what really gets me: If he's in it, sooner or later I'll have to use him to unlock stuff. He should castrate himself and take a dive in a pool of acid. Fuck you, Sakurai, go to hell.
Being ultra-mega-super serious here.
-
Then DON'T BUY THE GAME!!
God Damnit, He's Just ONE Character. I honestly Hate the Ice Climbers, and was pissed when it was announced that they are back, but I'm not Calling for Sakurai's Death, I'm just NOT going to play as them!!
And so what?! you may have to play as him like ONCE OR TWICE, BIG DEAL!! he's Just ONE Character. -
Why is it always the German site first?
But yep, tonight is Sonic. New trailer with it. Come on English site..
Now, I wonder what type of level he'll have. Green Hill Zone?
-
If you think I'm not going to buy the game just because of one character, you are a very, very gullible person.
There is no god.
-
haha Oh shit I love the song but I wished they used "Open Your Heart" Instead of "Live and Learn"
-
Sonic was to be expected guys. Honestly, if the Olympics game wasn't a dead giveaway. XD
His moveset/smash moves have the classic sounds and etc. This is truly epic.
Darn you German website; I betcha Sakurai played this to see who could catch onto it.
Conspiracies I say!~
-
Man, both of those movies are awesome. The Sonic one and then just a general Brawl one. Awesome night.
-
IM kinda glad they arent using anything outside from SOnic Adventure 1/2 haha
-
It's up in english now.
-
hahaha, Live and Learn is such an awesome song. This update was fucking BOSS.
-
Good lord, you know that Sonic will probably be the fastest character in the game… That's real scary for anyone who has played Smash competitively, as speed was key in Melee...
I hope Brawl will have some balance tweaking between the speedy and the slow, otherwise Sonic will be whored more in Brawl than Fox ever was in Melee.
-
And he on the dojo. With two vids as well. He actually looks like he be to play as with all that speed. And they have the balancing on the edge pose. I remember that form the orginal.
Sorry my friend, but I doubt you need to play as him to much to unlock everyone else.
-

Yeah, this issue is gonna bring up many arguments, if he's played in future tournaments and so forth.
Here's to them balancing things out.
-
Also notice that there is now a TBD on the release date :/
-
I swear to god, if they have Sonic talk in this game, I'm going to punch someone in the face.
That said, the first movie (that shows the brawl footage) was nice. Sonic's at least showed how he played. I'm definately no Sonic gamer, so I have no idea if he's ever done any of those moves. I really hated the background music, but I'm not shallow enough to blame it on Sonic.
Also, has anyone noticed a move he does in the air? It makes him dart down to the ground really quickly. Zamus did a move similar to this in another vid. I'm wondering if this is just a Dair, or some new skill.
Oh, and Kyogre and Torchic are confirmed as Pokeballs, as if anyone had any doubt. Lucas is also shown doing a move. It looks like a PK Thunder, or maybe a PK Flash, not really sure.
-
I'm glad they used "Live and Learn" in his video… That's my last good memory of Sonic games...
-
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! I'm a happy man now! Sonic is in! :D
Looks like Saloma has taken over my role as resident whiner now.
My only regret is that Nintendo pushed up the release date. ;_;
-
Snake talks in the game so how come other characters cant? :p
-
The next update could possibly be the spring from the Sonic series as an item, along with his stage and/or music.
Here's to Green Hill, Emerald Hill, or Angel Island Zone being put on there.
Just a total hunch though; they did an overhaul with Snake, I see no reason that Sonic should have the same.
Which brings me up to the point. Why hasn't the cardboard box that Snake hasn't been talked about yet?
-
Wow, this update got a whole lot shittier.
"Release Date: TBD"
Sonic was just a fucking distraction.
-
Im hoping it's Hill Zone from Sonic 2 XD;; oh god that song from that stage was awesome @_@
But it will most likely be something from SA or SA2. Perfect Chaos! XD
Also Sonic Talks Japanese in the Japanese Vid lol
This is getting me more pump that the fact is I get to play SSBB next week XD!!
-
Wonder who the last third party character could be now? I hope as hell it ain't Geno, mostly for reasons that people will think Nintendo owns him and would want more of him in future games. Geno's awesome, but all those people saying that is gonna be really annoying.
As for Sonic, I haven't been this happy since Snake was shown. I'm also apparently getting this game a month after it comes out too, so I'll be able to play tournaments and whatnot on here XD
-
Damn game looking sick.
Im not liking that "TBD."
Wait, how many 3rd party characters were said to be in Brawl?
Kids all over the world are getting hard but shortly after viewing the release date everyone is taking cold showers.
-
Snake talks in the game so how come other characters cant? :p
I said that wrong. I don't care as much if he talks in cutscenes, like Snake does, but if he says stuff while fighting, I'll punch someone in the face.
My "whining" was mostly joking, but I hate the fact that he's in the game. Cheers to a pathetic character. But hey, I'm not completely down about today, we got a cool video.
-
Japan got a date but America hasnt. lol
Japan : Jan 24th 2008
US : TBD
-
Oh, Lordy! This game has just become the game of the MILLENIUM!!!
-
Damn, thats like pouring alot of alcohol on the wound or something.
-

If Sonic's already in, and there's actually going to be a third third-party character, I'm guessing it'll be Classic Rockman. I can't see anyone else getting in over the blue bomber, now that the blue hedgehog is in.

Quoted for truth.
An 8-bit or rendered version of classic Rockman/Megaman is only to be expected. If not, then I'll be quite damned.
Mr. Game and Watch was the 2-D character in Melee, I see possiblities of that occuring in this case.
-
Who wouldnt want classic Rockman in? haha no EXE,X or Zero please :p
-
Even though I don't like the Classic series (Zero and EXE are my favorite ones), Rock.EXE getting in over Classic Rock would just be wrong. Like someone compared, it'd be like Paper Mario getting in over regular Mario.
-
Hay guys, what's worse than AIDS?
TBDS.

@The:

TBDS.
Yeah, seeing that killed that whole Dec. 3rd midnight release idea my local Gamestop was gonna have. D:
-
Oh come on now, a society of fans that believe Ace is dead is much worse.
-
it somewhat better for me since I wont get a wii for a long time XD:;
-
Yeah sad to say, now I'm expecting a febuary release. Hopeful we get some news soon.
