I know. My friend mentioned rumors of a January 24 release.

It's coming out in January in Japan now, supposedly, but I haven't heard anything definitively stating that it would or would not stick to the December release in the US.
I want tails to be in as well. :p
The veterans that I really want to come back are Luigi, Ness, Jigglypuff, Captain Falcon (no Falcon Punch = no Super Smash Bros. Game. Besides, the four of them were in all the SSB games), Marth (He's my best character and in my opinion the coolest looking SSBM character), Roy (We can't get rid of him. Otherwise, all the playable Fire Emblem character will be blue headed.), Falco (Looks cool even though I don't use him much), Pichu (I actually use him just for his taunt), Ganondorf (one of the few villain characters in SSBM), and Mr. Game and Watch (he's like the root of Nintendo).
That's an optimistic way to look at it. Maybe I'll do the same with Snake as well...
They are good characters. Don't get me wrong there. But they don't really fit well with Mario, Kirby, and the other Nintendo characters. I'm also worried that eventually no one will use the Nintendo characters in SSB anymore if this keeps up.
The Release date for Brawl being TBD instead of Dec. 3 also worries me Rase.
I've been in the shadows about this...but Sonic before Luigi!?Quote:
Luigi
Sonic in Brawl?! Hell yes!
I thought they wouldn´t do it because of the upcoming Olympics game. I guess I was wrong.
I rewatched part of the Sonic video several times because I thought I saw Amy. It was probably just Peach, though. xD
If Nintendo's official forums were still online, they wouldn't be after this update.
Ooooh, they even played the kewl theme song from Sonic 2 Adventure Battle :333
The reason they were showing Sonic now is because Nintendo had a press event in Japan on Wednesday, where they revealed Sonic (and the new Japanese release date, and a whole bunch of other Nintendo game stuff). So instead of just having that news float over to the west, they just put it up as an official announcement--complete with the video of it that they showed during the press event.
As far as US details go, there is a Nintendo Press Event in the US *today*, so there's a pretty decent chance we'll be getting information on the release date.
Feb. 10th. =\
