The official UK Nintendo magazine picked the brain of longtime Sega employee and Sonic producer Yojiro Ogawa to get his thoughts on the oft-requested inclusion of the sassy blue hedgehog in Nintendo's upcoming Wii fighter Super Smash Bros. Brawl. His thoughts?

In my personal opinion, it would be great to have Sonic in it. But that would really involve Sonic and Nintendo's management, it's nothing to do with me!

Huh. It's not a denial. Maybe we can expect that Mario and Sonic crossover after all? Yeah, I'm not holding my breath either. Ogawa also spoke about his inspiration for Sonic's upcoming Wii adventure, a concept many gamers hoping for the mascot's return to glory can most likely get behind.

The original Mega Drive Sonic game used only one button and the controls were very simple. That allowed gamers to experience high-speed gameplay and that was something I used as a concept for this title as well.

Chant with me now. Please be good. Please be good. Please be good. Michael McWhertor
