Sonic is back, info from Nintendo Direct

Just saw it. Short clip but he's back!

 

[oxyborb]

Woot! Knew he would be but yay anyway!

I'm still in class so finding about his return made me really happy.

Hoping to see snapshots or a video when I get home. I knew he'd be coming but didn't expect it today. Definitely excited to see him and Mega Man in the same game

Oh my, that was real quick.

All theories of the banner having to go just went straight down the gutter.

But thank you for the character page, anyways!

Wow, three reveals in a month, possibly a fourth coming soon with Pokemon X/Y? Really liking this quicker pace, hope it lasts a little while.

EDIT: Actually, Peach was the 17th, so that's three reveals in two weeks. Holy cow!

I am super stoked for this. Just being able to pit Sonic against Mega Man is going to be amazing. Am I the only one not looking forward to the Lost World stage though? The game's not even out, so the location holds no memorable value to me.

But whatever. I never played on Green Hill Zone anyway. I'm hoping Sonic gets some moveset changes more than anything.

Peach was revealed the 12th.

Keeping in mind, Nintendo and Sega have a contract to make 3 (or was it 4?) Sonic games exclusive for Nintendo consoles. This is probably part of why he's back in SSB.

The stage is probably just in-game advertising. Who knows, there might be a classic stage for Sonic as well.

Megaman better be thankful that Sonic showed up cause he was getting his ass beat.

Glad hes back i wonder how big and loud the screams are going to be if pac man gets confirmed or if ridley gets confirmed or mewtwo or all 3

 

[Metalbro]

Nice! Glad he's back. Hopefully he has actual KO potential now.

I woulden't be suprised if he got buffed from last time i just hope its not going to be a truck load of charge spin attacks again
