As far as Sonic goes, that makes for an interesting story.

Actually, I doubt the story is all that interesting. It's just another game featuring a crossover, much like Boktai/Megaman Battle network, Capcom vs SNK/SNK vs Capcom, Metal Gear Solid 3/Ape Escape. etc.

Sonic is appearing in a Nintendo-developed game (Brawl) while Mario is appearing in a Sega-developed game (Mario vs Sonic at the Olympic Games). We may get crossover characters in future titles, as well.

I went in '05 because I live in the area. It's pretty **** expensive though... I hope it'll be streaming somewhere...

And then he uses Peach's down smash on them, Fox's shine, Marth's long grab, Sheik's chain grab, and finishes them with a Falcon Punch. The world then explodes. :laugh:

1) The GDC is next month, February 18-22.

2) There will be no streaming video of this presentation. There will be no audio of it either. Nor will there be any pictures of his PowerPoint slide presentation - cameras aren't allowed inside sessions like that at the GDC, unless you're press.

3) I know all this because I've worked at the GDC the past 4 years, helping to run the conference and make sure the patrons are happy. If this presentation ends up being on either Thursday or Friday, I have a chance of making it. If not, I'll have my little brother, who is working there this year (I'm not due to scholastic reasons) will attend and I can then post his review. However, the game will already be out in Japan by that time (and demoable out on the Expo Hall at the GDC), so any info will purely be for those interested in its development.

I don't get to go to GDC, but I'm actually very interested in the development side of it. If you would be willing to post your brother's comments, I'd love to read them. =)

I really what to get his insight on everything. This doesn't happen very often. It'd be nice to see how he came up with some ideas.

I figure that this topic could use a bump since the event is drawing closer. Another topic suggested some expansion possibility to Brawl to add more characters. Should this be the case, wouldn't it be mentioned at GDC?

More characters would be awesome, but I'm mostly hoping for an EU release date... because I have my doubts at more chars ^^'
