lol. i want goku in there too

Not likely, I'm sorry to say.  Sakurai mentioned that one rule in place is "no anime, movie, or comic characters."  The third party characters to be used MUST have originated in a video game AND must have been in a game featured on a Nintendo system.

Alright! Co-Op adventure!!!! Now my sister will be able to enjoy playing the game too. The Co-Op works a lot like Kirby Super Star did.

Alright, so finally we see Kirby's Final Smash. Also, Ashley's Theme is also quite catchy. Also, there is a Cooking song in the Japanese update.

Hah hah!  That move was taken directly from Kirby Super Star!
...or not...I may be mistaken...although I know that was one of the moves in the game.

Sonic, etc ain't gonna be in it.

Come again?

Yeah yeah, I know.

It's fucked up, though. The point of Smash Bros is to be first-party Nintendo characters. I could understand (reluctantly) that Snake got put in there because of Kojima's nagging at Nintendo, but not Sonic. Now it's looking to be more like an all-around game character fighting game.

Not that that's a bad thing, but it shouldn't happen with a series that's known for being Nintendo-only. Save Nintendo VS Konami VS Sega VS etc, etc for another game series.

I think it was a bad desicion on Nintendo's part. It should be all Nintendo characters. The other characters are just there to advertise themselves and take up space that could have been used by Nintendo characters (Fire Emblem!). Lyn is an assist trophy, but Sonic is playable. That is lame. There hasn't been a good sonic game since the days of the genesis. If they are gonna put in 3rd party characters at least make them good. A castlevania character should have been in. There have been several for nintendo systems. Metal gear had one or two games and sonic never had a good one on Nintendo.

Simon, Alucard, Richter, Sonic, etc ain't gonna be in it.

OHHH!!  WHAT?!  Let's see that again!

Simon, Alucard, Richter, Sonic, etc ain't gonna be in it.

Check today's update!  SONIC IS IN BRAWL!!!!  And, now that the gloating is done...

Yeah yeah, I know.

While I agree to some extent, I think the problem with "saving it for another game series" is that such a thing would probably never hit American shores.  We all know what happened with DreamMix...so, honestly, this is probably the best we're going to get. 

That said, I don't think Sonic deserves his spot.  He's not a classic NES character.  But, hey, I'm happy he's in, regardless.
