Sonic zooms into Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo’s Wii U and 3DS

Sonic the Hedgehog is the newest character coming to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS today, we learned during this morning’s Nintendo Direct press briefing.

Sonic first appeared as a playable fighter in the series on Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii. He was one of the brawling franchise’s first third-party characters, along with Metal Gear’s Solid Snake. He joins Mega Man in that role in the upcoming new installments.
