Do you want the good news first, or the bad?
The bad news: Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii won't be released until February 10th, meaning it will miss the holiday rush.
The good news: Sonic the Hedgehog has joined the list of characters. The better news? He's not going to be the last character to hop on the Smash Bros. bandwagon.
Nintendo has also confirmed that there will be online multiplayer, but deatails regarding this feature have been sparse.
The official site (www.SmashBros.com) has also released a short movie clip featuring some of the characters and game play. You can view the video clip here.
