Dear Reader:
Shigeru Miyamoto talks Sonic in Brawl *UPDATE*
Tips & Tricks magazine managed to score an interview with Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto to discuss his work, both past and present. The topic of Super Smash Bros. Brawl came up, in which a discussion of fan reaction to the trailer took place. That conversation lead into Mr. Miyamoto discussing the possiblity of Sonic being in Smash Bros. Brawl. Miyamoto is very aware that fans want Sonic in the title, and he agrees that it would be a great idea. Unfortunately, according to Miyamoto, Sega has not gotten in touch with Nintendo as far as Sonic in Brawl is concerned.
*UPDATE* - Official text from the magazine…”Nintendo hopes that Snake’s appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl will encourage other publishers to allow their characters to join the Smash Bros. line-up, and is already actively negotiating for the rights to include at least one other non-Nintendo character. Both Sakurai and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto have stated that Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog is the character that Smash Bros. fans have requested the most and… well, it’s hard to type these words with our fingers crossed!”
