A few things you should know about Sonic and co.

1) A new Sonic game featuring Mario called Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is being released for the Wii and Nintendo DS. Featuring...well olympic games. You'll be able to play as Sonic, Mario, Yoshi, Luigi and others, though it is not confirmed what other characters you can play as yet...

2) Sonic fans rejoice. Nintendo is contacting Sega to see if their spiny blue hedgehog will appear in the new Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Keep those fingers of yours crossed! If we're lucky, the blue blur will appear as a playable character( This isn't a joke guys, not like the April Fools joke to unlock Sonic and Tails in Smash Bros. Melee....)
