Sonic in Smash Bros. Brawl, Ultimate Warrior still absent, pissed photo

Assuming IGN ever gets the post up, they're about to break news report that Sonic has been confirmed as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. According to their magically disappearing post title, not only is the hedgehog a new combatant, but co-op online play has been confirmed as well.

All this news apparently came from Nintendo's extremely hush-hush meeting earlier today in which they apparently revealed some huge bombshells and hopefully had delicious snacks. We'll have more info for you as soon as it becomes available.

For now, attack the comments with any opinions or pictures of squirrels -- the hedgehog's natural enemy -- you may have. 

[Thanks for this tip -- and years of liberal whining -- go out to Noam Chomsky] 

[UPDATE: Ok, the post is finally up at the above URL and the following has been added:

- Sonic IS in, and will be able to turn into Super Sonic (hopefully via the use of psuedo-3D bonus levels).

- Brawl won't hit Japan until Jan. 24, 2008. No word on what this means for the US or European release dates.

- The latest Brawl trailer shows Sonic in all his azure glory. As soon as we find it, Destructoid will put it up somewhere nearby.]

Totally not surprised. What would surprise the hell out of me is something nobody would expect, like Mega Man or Hard Gay.

I hope that he is the weakest character in the game, so that knocking him out of the ring over and over again would make his inclusion worthwhile. Also, I hope he bleeds to make the experience more visceral.

Also, its been delayed in Japan till January 24th or something. I'd imagine it'll happen here as well.

THAT'S NO GOOD!

I'm not saying we won't get a delay, but when I heard this I didn't assume that Brawl would necessarily be delayed in the US. I didn't think they had announced a release date in Japan or Europe yet, right? So this doesn't mean anything yet does it? Or am I setting myself up for some major disappointment? :(

But I hope they know they need this game for Christmas in the US.

I'm right there with you. I watched the video with him and almost punched the screen, I can't believe they still use his stupid voice after like 8 years.
