Sonic The Hedgehog Confirmed For Super Smash Bros. On Wii U And 3DS

Sweet

We all feared the worst, but Sonic is back in!!!

Now the Pokémon Trainer is the only main of mine still missing.

I wonder if Snake will return? I sure hope so.

@LtAldoRaine I doubt it. He's too third party-ish.

Glad to hear! I like the way he looks in this one.

Nintendo needs to just purchase SEGA already! Especially since they have ATLUS now.

"One of the biggest questions surrounding the forthcoming Super Smash Bros. title for Wii U and 3DS was whether or not Sonic the Hedgehog would be included..."

Was this really that big of a deal? I mean it's nice to know, but it's not like a date or anything new.

Not that a date would matter, see DKC:TF.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! This raises my hopes that Bayonetta and/or Wonder Red will be announced in this game!

I didn't think that blue rodent with sneakers would be coming to smash bros a second time. Smash bros just got a bit more popular.

I guess one from Namco will complete 3rd parties characters. No need for more than 3 , more than enough.

@sackferret It's still so weird to me how Nintendo has Snake on their all-star,crossover fighting game and Sony hasn't.

Is he still able to compensate for sucking by becoming the occasional super sayan?

@Prof_Elvin_Gadd I agree at this point. The once bitter rivals are a match made in heaven now!!!

@LtAldoRaine it is interesting indeed, not that sony's version needed any more reasons to be complete crap.

@Blastoise-san YEAH!!!! I will be seriously disappointed if Wonder Red or Blue don't show up!!

Aw, there goes my hope of Sonic + Tails being the same character.. I hope they update his moveset, you can only have so many spindash moves.. Get him breakdancing again like in Sonic battle!

I hope they change his moveset a bit. i hate how in Brawl half of his attacks involve turning into a ball (not a huge Sonic guy,there's probably an official name for that)

Didn't always used him while playing Brawl, but the news he was returning made me smile. Welcome back, Sonic!

@LtAldoRaine - That would be his Spin Jump and Spin Dash. I'll bet his attacks will be spiced up with parkour moves from Lost World.

Anyways, YEEEEESSSSSS!

Come on, Shulk!

At last The Blue Blur and The Blue Bomber cross paths lol.

Also, Sonic has Windy Hill as his home stage.

Amazing!

@SHULZ21:

EXACTLY as in the "Worlds Collide" Archie Comics storyline, to boot!

I suppose it makes sense, because if Nintendo's gonna add third party fighters, it'd be strange to not include Sonic due to him and Mario being rivals early in both of their careers.

Will Sherk be in smash bros?

Darn! The cheapest charecter there is. He's back!

@VoiceOfReason Other, then his Final Smash, Sonic is not that hard to beat.

Good, Sonic's in it. Check. Next, I really want Snake back. And if another 3rd party newcomer is coming still, I want Bomberman. Guess it's time to start talking to Konami, Nintendo.

If we miss out on an important veteran because of this.. I am going to be pissed.

Ehhh. Sonic can bite a big one.

Now confirm Snake and I'll be a happy camper.

@sackferret The reason he was in Brawl in the first place was because Kojima and Sakurai are good friends, nothing else nothing more

Good to have you back hedgehog!

Yay! All my characters except Lucina are in!

@ShadowFox254
His final smash is what I meant, although I have always had particular dislike for sonic in SSBB.

I'm still holding out for Professor Layton in SSB. They teased it at one point and now I'm obsessed with it happening!

@VoiceOfReason yes, I agree about that one, but he is almost first party.

Yup, a lot of people expected him to make his return. I just thought we'd see him being revealed at or around the Lost World release date.

More importantly, this announcement (plus Toon Link's intro) break the trend of one character revealed every month. Here's hoping for many more and frequent character introductions!

Well this is AWESOME. I DO wish we had pokemon trainer though.

i wish they would add Goku from Dragon ball, for once on ssb!

Sonic looks like he has a giant moob on his chest. ol i was hoping for a classic sonic interpretation but this is good news! Altho smasg is centered around the games id love too see team rockets jesse and james alongside pokemon trainer to showcase nintendos reach outside games. And give us a pokemon villain.

Ah, another great announcement featuring a character I dominate with. Now all I need is that Lil Mac announcement and Ike in his Radiant Dawn outfit!

When are they going to confirm Jotaro and Dio?

Sonic's moveset looks the same other than a fancy new dodge. Even the speed of his attacks look the same, which is scary because Sakurai said the speed of the game would be increased, which either means he's lying, or Sonic will be even worse than he was in Brawl.

I fear for Smash Bros. Wii U.

This is a video of Sonic in Smash Bros. Wii U for people who have not seen it.

Can't say that I'm surprised. Sonic: Lost World is coming out so advertising the character in Super Smash Bros. makes perfect sense.

I would, however, like to know if this means that Archie Comics will get a deal to have Ian Flynn write a Super Smash Bros. mini-series.

That would be awesome.

Not surprised, seeing how cozy Sega and Ninty have been getting as of late.

I wish Shadow was confirmed too...but damn Sakurai is messing up the game

I expected a Pokémon fighter, but this is nice to know. I didn't care much if he was returning or not though. But please announce Ice Climbers soon. I need them!

The inner child in me is freaking out at the prospect of having a match between Mario, Link, Sonic and Mega Man. Now the true hero will finally be revealed!!! ^_^

Sonic in Smash Bros is so predictable that it barely constitutes as news. What I want to know is when is 3D Sonic The Hedgehog coming to 3DS eShop in NA????

Awesome! This is great news!! Glad he is back
@DarkKirby The characters have never been balanced. Let's wait till the game comes out and we can interact with it before we say anything. And thanks for the video.

@everyone These are just my opinions, please respect them.

The Wii U screenshots are great and the 3DS screenshot looks nice

And not a single ounce of 3DS footage...

And only one screenshot for 3DS?

SONIC!!!

@ednice Howso? Why would you overrun a Nintendo mascot fighting game with a bunch of Sega characters? One guest per non-Nintendo series makes sense to me given the theme of Smash Bros.

@SuperSah The 3DS footage and screens aren't as flashy or exciting to look at. Makes sense they'd show off the Wii U version more.

Give me Lucina, god dang it! I want to know who the Fire Emblem character will be.

I really hope they change his moveset a little, at least his Down-B.

Still, Mario vs. Sonic vs. Mega Man is gonna be sweet. There's still room for one more third party mascot!

@robertman2 I'm guessing Chrom. Seems like the obvious choice.

Personally, I'm more interested in a Golden Sun or Xenoblade representative.

@LeVideoGamer I would also like to see a Xenoblade or Golden Sun character.

@robertman2 Isaac/Matthew and Shulk would be awesome.

However, my most wanted swordsman is Takamaru. That would make my hype meter skyrocket.

@LeVideoGamer When was the last time he was in a game?

@robertman2 Last true game was Nazo no Murasamejo in '86, but he had a cameo in Samurai Warriors 3 and a themed minigame in Nintendo Land, so Nintendo haven't completely forgotten about him. I have hope.

Plus, there were rumours of an East vs. West scenario, where Takamaru would represent the East, and Little Mac for the West.

Ugh, I'd much rather have Snake return. He was a MUCH better addition than Sonic. I know Sonic's coming back because of Nintendo and Sega's partnership for Sonic games, but....meh.

@Koto Agreed, Sonic wasn't a good in Brawl and I doubt that will change in SSB:U, while Snake was a great in Brawl, one of the best in fact. I really hope they have him return.

Considering the recent contract between Nintendo and SEGA, I had been expecting this from the beginning. I'm sure he'll be more refined in this installment considering Sakurai has stated an increased interest in balance.

YESSSSS! I'm so pumped!

You're too slow

Let's go!!!!!!!!! So happy when I found out sonic is returning to smash bros

Best news of the whole presentation!

Still better than Mega Has-been.

This is good news. I loved using him in Brawl, so he may be my go-to-guy for the new game. I really hope Mega Man is good, as well.

I was really hoping this would happen! And it did.

Yay! I don't really use Sonic much at all, and so I hope that with his return he'll have a better moveset or at least get tweaked a little... but overall I'm excited because I just like Sonic.

He's sonic

That's cool, would be nice to have Snake back too.

Great to see Sonic in with Mega Man!

Dump Snake and put in Simon Belmont, please!

@thesilverbrick Ask for a Sonic fighting game then, something like Sonic Battle 2

JUSTICE!!!!!

I am VERY happy that he is still in!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Sonic model looks better than the last smash sonic model. He actually looks more modern than the last one.

Sonic is def one of my favs and im glad he is back but I didn't really like his moveset and he was kind of slow. But woo hoo! Hopefully Snake can come back..

OMG, YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Sonic, Mario, and Mega Man in the same game! I can now die in peace...
...But not until I play this game.

FINALLY!!!! Now we are one step closer to getting an official worlds collide game! Now that being said, can we please have Pheonix Wright as a playable character in Smash Bros. 4 nintendo?

Amazing news!!! I can't wait for this game any longer!!!

@shonenjump86 Who needs Snake? Sonic for the win!!!

I mean, with the 3 Sonic games announced exclusively for Nintendo consoles, it would seem quite strange not to add him.

I can forgive them for adding Toon Link now.

@Marr_the_Great
Given the outstanding job Archie Comics has done with both Sonic and Megaman so far, a comic book version of SSB would be the stuff of legends.

Why!? Why would they put Sonic back in? As far as I know everyone hated Sonic in Brawl. His moves were clunky and awkward and his final smash was over powered when wielded by a computer and nearly unusable when used by a human player.

Uugh, I hated Sonic in brawl! I hope they at LEAST remove his STUPID B move! That move was SOOOOOO annoying, people ALWAYS over use that move. (stupid cheap losers)

I'm so happy right now... I cannot even describe it with words... I have a huge exam tomorrow yet I'm at complete bliss right now... thank you Sakurai, thank you...

Wonder why they used they Sonic Heroes/SA1 style.

I'm the only one happy about this, huh?

Well duh! Glad to see he is back. Now let's get to new additions!

Really glad to see Sonic come back, I think adding him to Brawl was brilliant. Snake, not so much.

@mastersworddude They will use Sonic Lost World style, Stage on that theme included.

I hope he is not broken like in Brawl. Other than that glad he is back.

I crush with bowser, so no concerns here.

@CrabGats I think they need a sonic reboot like they did with Lara Croft. Make him more realistic with feelings and emotions. When Robotnik insults him he should shutter and perhaps tear up as his emotions take over. Nah, nevermind.

YES! (You might guess I'm excited by my profile picture over here. How you doing, Super Sonic?)

Now we have the trhee platform kings in the same dam game! COME ON! let me listen my loved "FREE FOR ALL" RIGHT NOW!

Can't wait! (That's almost all of my mains)

Sigh.....another character that was already in Brawl. This isn't surprising where's the new characters? I'm tired of all these old characters that was already in the game.

@rjejr to answer ur question, yes. It IS that big of a deal, a lot of ppl including myself were pretty worried sonic wouldn't make it since he's third party and we thought his appearance would be a one time thing. This is pretty huge news to me!!!!! Thank god SEGA allowed hint o be included again!!!

Now we need Shulk, Isaac, Tingle, and Little Mac.

@Murduskull - Well I'm happy for everybody, I'm just surprised people were surprised. Yes Sonic is 3rd party, but how many Nintendo exclusives has he been in now? How many Mario vs. Sonic Olympic games have there been? I guess it just seemed like a foregone conclusion to me that Sonic would be in it.

Can you imagine the uproar if he wasn't?
