For the better part of the 1990’s, the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System battled it out for the hearts and minds of gamers across the globe. Their respective mascots, Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario the plumber, featured prominently in that battle, but it would be a stretch to say that either of the two ever got into any real life face-to-face, hand-to-hand combat. Video game mascot Wrestlemania it was not, being more a war of words and silly commercials featuring terms like “blast processing” than anything of real substance or value.
But this standoff might be coming to a close, with a real battle brewing on the gaming horizon in the form of Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii. Word today is that Miyamoto dropped some serious hints in a recent interview that Sonic was the most wanted character in a game that has already seen its fair share of promos featuring a revamped Samus and Solid Snake as some of its newest characters. This game has taken on a life of its own in recent months since E3, with the right characters making appearances at all the right times. Do you think anyone is feeling left out?
are they're any CONFIRMED new characters coming to the game besides…zero suit samus, pit, metaknight, snake, and wario?!?!?!?
I think the guy from Bionic Commando isn't feeling the love.
Well I haven't heard if Ness is going to be a playable character…It's going to be spectacular if Sonic does come into the mix. I'm not a huge Sonic fan but, I love his drive-in restraunt. *someone whispers in my ear* Oh wait. Nevermind. different sonic.

Really, though, I don't want to see Bionic Commando in SSBB.Can I get a "Guybrush Threepwood"? Oh, wait .. that never made it to a Nintendo system.But seriously, how about my all time favorite pick for SSBB: Chibi-Robo!
Megaman or someone from the Megaman universe. Either way someone from that series has to be in this game.
Microsoft says they can use Master Chief if they want to…Miyamoto said he wants Sonic in SMB but SEGA hasn't said anything about it. I Hope they borrow it, just fighting each other is worth the whole game! How about mixing Bonk also? All three on the same ring??? holy mackerel!
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles would be an absolute blast. I think Cloud Strife or Chrono would be really cool, too. I've always wanted to beat the crap out of Cloud….Earthworm Jim, anyone? He was great in Clay Fighter 63 1/3…..I agree with Mega Man, too (X and Buster) and how about a full GANNON version of Gannondorf…..and I think the game should have "Sprite" mode where all the characters are there in their true pixel forms battling it out in perfect 2D.
I'm pretty sure Ridley from Metroid has been added, though.
a truly powerful character would come in the form of a boy and his blob. those 2 are a force to be reckoned with
You know who I would like to see this time? Bayou Billy, The hardest game ever.
I wonder if Rareware will 'lend' Nintendo some characters… I would love the whole, and I mean WHOLE crew from the Killer Instinct series. Fulgore, Cinder, B. Orchid, the list goes on… Fighting games collide!
kale, that's a great idea .. sprite mode!It reminds me of stuff like the Birdo statue from Melee. Just a 2D flat sprite, but in the 3D world.Mona from WarioWare would kick some butt, too.
All good points. However, I'm surprised no one's mentioned the "always on" Virtual Console as a way to push new characters/levels/moves/whatever you can think of, into this game to keep it fresh 2, 3 even 6 months down the line.
Cloud anyone? lol obviously come on!if not then Sora from kingdom hearts! and Leon from resident evil!
jack has a sweeet point though, thatll be awesomeer! omg
If Microsoft has said they can put Master Chief in the game, it will be interesting to see if they actually do. I wouldn't be surprised if Sonic made it in the game (megaman wouldn't be a big one either) But I think most people are talking about characters that Nintendo didn't make. Just because they said they're allowing 3rd party characters, doesn't really mean theres going to be a lot of them.
Why don't they use WiiConnect24 to download an extra character a month? Don't cram em all in from the start, drip feed them too us!
WiiConnect24 could become a great promotional tool. Imagine this happening right before a new Pikmin game comes out..A new challenger approaches: CAPTAIN OLIMAR!!Or suddely at Christmas time:A new challenger approaches: SANTA!
