Hey guys, did you hear that Sonic was in Super Smash Bros. Brawl? What's all that about then? Apparently he is, and if you have a magnifying glass, you can hold it up to your computer screen right now and watch the above video, where the blue ball of failed 3D sequels gets his arse handed to him by Meta Knight. Boo!

Sonic is looking damn good in Brawl, despite one's inherent cynicism and the fact that it really wasn't a huge shock by this point. It's kind of like MGS4 being on the Xbox 360, in that we definitely knew it was going to happen from the beginning. Oh wait. 

Hit the jump for an earlier video just in case you missed it, where Super Sonic takes it to Link while the narrator grimaces at his bitter defeat.

im not too sure about mgs4 on 360. over in europe they are going to be selling a ps3 bundle package with mgs4 in it. usually games that come in bundle packs are exclusive to that console. if it does happen though than i stand corrected.

MGS4 is only a matter of time before it goes 360 and that version will probably be the Subsistence version. I mean the only MGS that didn't go multi-platform was MGS3.

Looks like the Sonic player in the first clip is one of those Kirby players whose only tactic is to float high above the battlefield and use a drop attack.

Honestly. I'ld seriously buy a Wii just for this game!

But I've spent way too much $ on PS3 titles this year!

It will be like RE4. MGS4 will sell poorly on PS3 and need to go to Xbox to make up for it.

I am loving that camera work, especially how it tilts to reveal more of the rear of the field as the angle changes.

Gods.

I want this now. More than ever.

Meta Knight sounds gangster as well.

The only attack he uses is SONIC KICK.

Do we have another character clone, or can they at least make the moves varied this time?

It's really fucking easy to say that Sonic was going to be in SSBB AFTER he has been announced for it. I'm sorry but it was a big surprise. Hindsight is 20/20.

Are there any videos of Sonic not losing?

Also, the game looks even more awesome than it did before. It's going to take Sonic bashing to a whole new level.

Hey i work at a gamestop and the company sends out their nightly e-mails concerning store rumblings and what not.
Anyway, SSMB was said to be pushed back to 2/11/08. Sucks.

I am only seeing Sonic beat Mario in both of those videos, I have no idea what reality you are living in, but I want no part of it!

zomg, zomg, zomg, zomg. I'm gonna have to buy a Wii for this one...or just crash at mispelt's place for a week. YA HEAR THAT MISPELT? I'M COMING OVER!!!

Seriously though, the game looks hella-good. And yes Jim, I was not only shocked at Sonic's inclusion, I was...how the Brits say...bafuckingshocked.

What's with the winged Yoshi? Did I miss something?

I think that winged yoshi had that new item w.e it's call that grants you your special move. As you see him kinda in blueish flame or color around him flying around blasting. It shows donkey kong getting it, but dieing before it is revieled.

Is that an albino Donkey Kong I see? I need a close up for all my pink-eyed needs.

Donkey Kong obtained the smash small, but died before he could unleash his final smash attack. Watch other videos that show other character using it like Sonic, Samus Aran, Yoshi and Peach.Yoshi's final smash is called Super Dragon. Donkey Kong's is called Konga Beat.

I hope Nintendo will allow for longer hands-on matches during E For All.

What most people are missing is the fact that the game is in widescreen and using the screen space to its fullest, which is great news for me. I'm not sure what that means for SDTV owners, but I'll be happy.

Sonic wasn't really doing anything spectacular anyway. Probably let him win.

Yeah, I said from the beginning that Sonic's chances of appearing completely depended on whether or not Nintendo decided to use 3rd party characters. So as soon as I saw Snake I knew Sonic was in.

The white DK looks cool. I heard there's a Dark Link pallet swap for Link too.

I can't wait to try out Meta Knight and see if he lives up to all the hype.
