GameDaily recently had the chance to interview Sega of America President Simon Jeffery and Nintendo VP of Marketing George Harrison and talk about the upcoming historic team-up.

Perhaps one of the biggest questions that the game has spawned among gamers is whether or not Mario & Sonicat the Olympic Games is a harbinger of Sonic’s surprise appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Nintendo Wii. Harrison declined to reveal anything about this potentially huge surprise, though, saying that they “can’t really comment on any sort of hidden characters in Smash Bros. at this point.”

“At this point.” So maybe later? We’re keeping our fingers crossed. Oh, and one last thing. Harrison also expressed some concerns about the speed issue in the game. You guys know what we’re talking about. “I am a little concerned about Sonic’s speed when he’s racing Mario in a footrace, so we’ll have to see how we can equalize that,” said Harrison. Stay tuned for more details as they arise.
