Exactly. He was revealed way too early. I knew a Direct was going to go on October 1, but that would have been the perfect time to show off those 4 new veterans post-E3: Olimar, Luigi, Peach, and Toon Link. Just show little clips of them or something. Sonic should have been revealed mid-October, just to give us time to process Toon Link. Even after Sonic I was still shaking because of Toon Link.
I just hope he doesn't wait until the end of November to show a veteran. I know nothing is going on until 21-22, but come on. We kinda need something after a pretty lackluster month.
Also, "blew his Sonic load"? Nice wordplay.
