Yet another rumour about our favorite blue blur character has hit the net!


Taken from the Nintendo Forums:

"Nintendo hopes that Snake's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl will encourage other publishers to allow their characters to join the Smash Bros. line-up, and is already actively negotiating for the rights to include at least one other non-Nintendo character. Both Sakurai and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto have stated that Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog is the character that Smash Bros. fans have requested the most and... well, it's hard to type these words with our fingers crossed!"

I, for one, hope this rumor is true. I love Sonic and I am quite addicted to Super Smash Bros. I know Sonic would be a great addition to Super Smash Bros. Brawl!

Voting has opened for the Golden Joystick Awards 2006 and it's time to cast YOUR votes. TheSun.co.uk and Golden Joystick have teamed up to create their very own gong - The Sun’s Family Game of the Year Award.

And guess who is nominated? Nope, not Sonic the Hedgehog! His buddy, Shadow the Hedgehog steals the spotlight. Sonic should not be too sad, though, as he won an award back in 2004 for The Sun's Ultimate Gaming Icon.



So, now it's Shadow's turn to win an award!!



"This is the darker Hedgehog’s debut adventure that sees him with an arsenal of weapons and vehicles to destroy a bunch of aliens and the evil Dr Eggman.

Delve into the character’s Shadowy past as you’re caught up in the helter-skelter action.

As well as the PS2, it was also out for Xbox and GameCube."

Shadow is up against nine other games competing for "The Sun's Family Game of the Year Award". Those games are Nintendogs, KAMEO: Elements of Power, Super Princess Peach, Ice Age 2 the Meltdown, Super Monkey Ball: Touch and Roll, Pokemon XD, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Kirby Power Paintbrush and Spongebob Squarepants: Lights, Camera, Pants!

To vote, simply go to thesun.co.uk/gaming or goldenjoystick.co.uk and make your choice.

Win A Signed Copy Of Sonic R!

07-Aug-2006: Sonic R composer Richard Jacques signs a copy of the racer for one of you to win in the Summer of Sonic!



Richard Jacques is a composer for video games, but he's also much more than that. He's a legend. A damn nice chap. A true British gent. Etc. Sonic fans will know him as the composer for the music to Sonic 3D and Sonic R. The Summer of Sonic interviewed him a while back (the transcript of which will appear online this week) and he kindly signed a Japanese copy of Sonic R for the SEGA Saturn for us to give away! Not only is a Japanese copy of Sonic R pretty rare in the first place, the fact that you can own a copy that has been touched by the awesome composer is enough to get anyone going. And it can be yours.

Answer the question below, email it to the address stated.

---

Q. Richard Jacques composed the music for Sonic R, but name the singer that provided the vocals for all the tracks in the game.

---

Think you know the answer? Email Dreadknux AT THIS ADDRESS ONLY, and include your answer (obviously), real name, mailing address, email address, and any humourous messages that you think might help you win the prize. Just for a bit of comic relief. It won't matter, as the winner will be picked at random out of correct entries. The winner will be notified by email and on this very page. Good luck!

Closing Date: 12th August 2006
