Yeahh!!!!!
I dunno why but HELL YEAHHH!!
I think I'm actually crying.
I was so happy when I saw this Japan Time. My nerd-like glee was so at it's highest point in a long, long time.
FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
what? where's the dude at the end that's supposed to scream SEGA!!
All I have to say is thank God they can settle this off the track.
now you're thinking with portals.
yay sonic!
I'm pretty happy about this. :)
what's with the shitty music and sonic voice?
Who's ready for Megaman? Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman MegamanMegaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman Megaman.
Totally rad. But Super Saiyan Sonic still makes me laugh and cringe at the same time.
This makes me all kinds of happy.
@jive238: Yes, please.
Yay the bestSonic-Nintendo crossover since [youtube.com]
You know, I never doubted Sonic, but I never imagined his movelist would be any good...
Now he's definitely going to be my second main (after Sheik, another air comboist).
All of his moves are really that good.
I guess we finally have an answer to "who would win in a fight between Mario and Sonic", as Mario = suck & Sonic = pure sex on the beach
Awesome, he even brought the so shitty it's awesome music with him.
You mean I can snap several annoying animal mascot's necks with Snake? Like I needed another reason to buy this game...
@jive238: I hear someone else will be Sneak King in instead. :P
Magic..
The eight year old me has just exploded
Win...just a a major goddamn win.
And Snake's stage looks fantastic.
I always thought this would happen, but god was I shocked when I saw it. And, he actually looks like he might be a decent character. Super Sonic is obviously his Final Smash. They should have just revealed it right away.
And the award for 'Best Game Sonic the Hedgehog has Been in Since 1992' goes to...
Looks cool, sounds horrible!
HAHA I won't get tricked by that agai- HOLY SHIT! It's not April! That's amazing. I might have to buy a Wii now.
Since Sonic is in, where are the supporting cast assist trophies? I'd love to see Tails getting called in for an air strike on a section of the battlefield.
Now we just need the other against nintendo in the 90s, only on one company's system, but now has games on nintendo systems *cough*Crash Bandicoot*cough*
Words can't express how happy I am about this.
But what's with bashing the music? I thought it actually sounded freakin' awesome, but I'm not known for having good taste in music.
OMFG! Hell YA! I am delighted by this news. This is the most commendable dream come true in the gaming industry, and this is the most flourish triumphed milestone in modern gaming history! Sonic finally in Super Smash Bros, something we all thought would never happen, at the very last second, it happens. This, by far, just might be the best game ever.
@Sugoi:
The beginning sounds just like the Sonic Adventure (either 1 or 2, can't remember which one) theme music. Not sure if the part after the intro, once the lyrics start, is the same though.
We all knew it was coming didnt we :D. This game is going to be epic.
Not only that.
Watch the video. Those of you who complained Sonic would have a shit moveset and not work because he can only spin up and roll, take your filling of these pics/video and leave.
Watching this. Wow. I was a doubter but. Sonic is awesome in here. They kept the win that was him in the 90's and the Adventure series (even added Live and Learn) and left out he fail of his recent attempts. Probably because it's being made by Nintendo ;D
You know what this means right?
GREEN HILL ZONE STAGE.
@Zanzang: Sonic Rush for a little while longer at least.
Say goodnight, Halo 3.
@Jackablade: Sonic Adventure 2 Battle was pretty awesome too.
Sega does what Nintendon'--wait! If you're old enough to remember ads touting blast processing or talking dogs that didn't mind monochrome dot matrix Gameboys, you'll appreciate just how HUGE this is. Rumors-schmoomers... it's official now and my 11year old inner child is awestricken. Nintnedo are smart to release this AFTER Mario Galaxy because if it came out before, no one would even bother buying Galaxy.
Sonic has an amazing moveset, and if anything, demonstrates what looks to be ground-to-air combos like never before.
Game of the Forever
@Clushje: haha, yeah!
im sitting here watching this and thinking about how it took Nintendo of all people to make Sonic cool again, and thinking back to 1994 or so and this IS BLOWING MY MIND.
I have a feeling it might get delayed in the US.
The American website went from "December 4th, 2007" to "TBA". Also, Sakurai's post on the Smash website about it releasing on December 4th, is gone from the archives.
Also, his statement:
"There's still a little more development to be done... I'm hoping to complete it without incident."
Makes me nervous.
And Mario Galaxy will only have 1 month of glory before it's massacred by Brawl sales. Hmm...
I think perhaps they announced this at the conference to try to make people even more hyped and buzzed about the game, to almost excuse the delay.
Thank you, SEGA, for doing the right thing. Nerdgasm, ahoy!
I believe my brain just melted. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
the 10 year old in me just cried sweet tears of joy,
@lolspaceship: Yeah, Brawl's probably coming in '08, but that makes me happy.
More polish on the game is always good, and it gives me more money for other games during the holidays (I wasn't even planning on Galaxy until '08, now I can). Selfishness aside, it is also the smartest possible move:
late 2007- The "big three" are released
early 2008- ?
Now they've got something for that question mark.
All this time when people's been begging for Sonic to be in SSBB, I couldn't give a shit. Now that I've seen him in action... those sweet ass-kicking action... I've never been more wrong. I think Sonic might well be my favorite character in the game.
Now cue in Mecha-Sonic and this is Game of the Year without a doubt (not like it isn't already).
Mario vs. Sonic... All my schoolyard fantasies and arguments will be realised...
*blissful sigh*
@lolspaceship: im gonna get rocks thrown at me for saying this, but considering theyre officially throwing the kitchen sink at this game (and boo to you haters demanding Mega Man! are you never happy?!), i know it sucks but if it's delayed another month, my heart will go on. This is looking to be THE game of, uh, the wii's lifecycle at this rate; i says take your time.
Besides, if Mario Galaxy ends up more like Mario64 and less like Mario Sunshine, ill have my hands full by the holidays, anyway.
...yeah, im prolly flying solo on this comment.
I'm in love with his move set. I just know I'm gonna pwn with him. Who needs Mario vs Sonic?
Man, I want to rend SA2B right. now.
@lolspaceship: I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. Or perhaps, Nintendo may be delaying it back a bit in order to sneak a few more characters in from other third parties, or perhaps had hangups with getting the go-ahead with some (Or even just Sonic.)
I mean, if you were a Capcom or a Konami or a Square and wanted to get a growing Wii market ready for future titles by you, what better way than to slip your characters into their anticipated fighter title, and get those faces known to new gamers as well as some fan service to old school gamers as well.
This is, of course, just the usual wishful speculation on my part, and they're probably trying to iron out some kinks in the netplay code.
@Gamemaster:
But you see, this will be the first time Nintendo publically announces in a press conference a definitive date for a game release (December 4th, 2007) within a year of its supposed release, and then a few months later, delaying it. :(
I still pray to God it's still in for 12/4.....I need me something for Christmas :<
@TheIrishNinja: what's wrong with having Mega Man up in there? That would complete the childhood dream of past heroes fighting to the death!
If Mega Man were to be included, please not from Mega Man 64/Legends/Legends 2. :D
Well. Thank God for Wii Backwards-Compatibility.
*Pulls out Sonic Adventure 2: Battle*
wow.
After all these years, sonic and mario are finally brought together to fight it out in direct competition.
And the best they could come up with was THIS?
That was pretty much the least-epic way of introducing sonic possible.
At least when sanke was introduced, it was like BAM! SNAKE MOTHERFUCKER!
@uLTraCarL: *sigh* nothing's wrong with it at all, im just staying, we were all sold on this game long before, and every detail ive read since (KK slider! Sonic! Zero suit etc) is like yet another reason to love this game. Yes, id love to have Sonic, Mario, Mega Man, Simon Belment, Kratos, Snake, Master Chief, Mr Game & Watch, Strder, Chrono (*nods*), etc in the same box but it'd be done by 2015 with all the licensing, and honestly? Id rather just take this amazing package early next year and solve other odd fetishes with Mugen.
There's nothing at all wrong with Mega Man or wanting him in, just strikes me as people never being happy with a product that's clearly going above & beyond 's all. its a minor qualm of mine.
My pants are wet.
I am surprised this is not bigger news!??oh thats right! my generation grew up when the Japanese where still making the best games. times a change (sigh) fucking halo!
Thank you.
just....... thank you so much.
OH MY GOD YES! Best game featuring Sonic since Sonic 2?
