IMMEDIATE UPDATE TO PREVIOUS POST
I must apologize. I didn't realize how prophetic I was being.
Sonic the Hedgehog was just announced to be a playable character on "Super Smash Bros. Brawl." Oh my. Oh my goodness.
Who wants a party? Because things just heated up.
Thank you, Nintendo. You have been diligent in your requests and kind to the fans. Let's hope for some more zany additions (maybe more Sega characters, maybe some Capcom folks, maybe something even more exciting).
