Sonic in Smash Bros. dream fading

The dream is slowly fading for anyone who's still hoping that persistent rumours of Sonic appearing in Smash Bros. Brawl were true. As the game's launch approaches he's still nowhere to be seen...

A new character has been unveiled today, but it's not the blue-spike hedgehog. It's a much less known character (on this side of the planet anyway) called Lucas; a young boy with psychic boy from the Japan-only Nintendo classic, Mother 3.

"While he is timid in nature, he fights splendidly. Is it possible he can surpass even Ness," says Nintendo.

But as the American release of the game draws nearer, and with the unveiling of a hedgehog-less box art (also below), it's looking increasingly unlikely that Sega's mascot is going to show up.

this is kinda dumb to post this. that news post has nothing to do with the lack of sonic its just a new character. but honestly I would expect nintendo to be unveiling that trump card close to the release date if not after its in stores. for shame who ever wrote this post.
