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.
