Smash Bros Brawl Creators Hint at Sonic

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sey-gah dept.

Wowzer writes "Nintendo hopes that Solid Snake's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl on Wii will encourage other publishers to allow their characters to join the Smash Bros. line-up, and is already actively negotiating for the rights to include at least one or two other non-Nintendo character. The plot thickens when Smash Bros. series director Masahiro Sakurai and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto say that 'Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog is the character that Smash Bros. fans have requested the most.' This begs the question, which non-Nintendo characters are most likely to appear?"

  1. Sega fanboys? by bsharitt · · Score: 4, Funny

    If anything, this will give the old sega fanboys a chance to beat up on Mario with Sonic.

    Master Chief! Yeah, like that would happen.

    Seriously tough, how about someone from the Street Fighter series, but the baby version of the character, not the grown up one, which were showcased in some jewel Street Fighter based game.

    Please, NOT a Final Fantasy character, especially Sephiroth, Cloud or Vincent. Those characters have been showcased in other games enough.

    Seriously tough, how about Mega Man? He is similar to Samus tough gameplay wise, unless you have combos that allow him to change his style? That would make him pretty unique.

    Or, even tough he is not a video game character, maybe Samuel "The Man" Jackson? He's badass enough for this yet doesn't take himself seriously.

      Megaman
      I second that motion. Make him like a cross between Kirby and Samus. Kill another player, and Mega Man inherits their powers. That would be way better than macaroni.

      Bah, no one would want to play as a spoony bard.

    ... is Sierra's own Liesure Suit Larry. I don't want to know what his special weapon is, though.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If done well it could be cool.

    My personal favorite would be Thundercats. It'll never happen, but I can dream.
