Sonic Joins Super Smash Bros Brawl Cast
Sega's spiky speedster is the latest addition to the ever-expanding cast of characters.
The latest Super Smash Bros game is looking to be the most expansive instalment in the series yet with word that Nintendo is bringing in more outside talent for the Wii brawler.
Sega and Nintendo said on Wednesday that the blue blur, Sonic The Hedgehog, will be making a playable appearance in Super Smash Bros Brawl when it debuts on Nintendo's new console.
A teaser video posted on Nintendo's Super Smash Bros Brawl site shows Sonic going up against Mario, Donkey Kong and other Nintendo characters, using hand-to-hand attacks and his patented spin attack.
Super Smash Bros Brawl is one of Nintendo's biggest Wii games in the offing, combining classic beat-'em-up gameplay with new online modes. The game has already attracted a range of guest characters, including Metal Gear Solid's Snake.
The game's release in Japan has this week been delayed to late January and it is due in Europe during early 2008.
