Exactly two days from now... at this very time or an hour or so earlier... I will have in my hands a copy of the new Super Smash Bros Brawl.

But, like a loser, I completely spoiled the game for myself and know the whole event storyline and the characters which are available and unlockable.

I gotta admit... I'm pretty happy with the gameplay... graphics... online play... it's going to render Melee obsolete.

However, I do have two very understandable problems.

Problem 1. WHY THE HELL AREN'T MORE SONIC CHARACTERS IN THE GAME!

People whine and complain that since Sonic the Hedgehog has spawned some Nintendo titles and that he be put in the game... well, majority ruled and he's in it... but why isn't Dr. Robotnik [Eggman for all you newfags] or Tails or any of the others in the game as playable characters? Come on... I know that when all the non-spoilees find this out they are going to fall sideways and have to go see a Japanese falling sideways doctor. This disturbs me because everyone else get their counterparts that deserved them...

Mario -> Bowser
Kirby -> King Dedede
Link -> Ganondorf
and so on...

so why the hell isn't there an at least Dr. Robotnik...

Problem 2. WHY THE HELL ISN'T SIMON BELMONT IN THE GAME!

This is a character that should have been in Melee... he didn't show up then so I hoped for him to show up in Brawl and what did I get? A can of 100% Factory-Grade "Disappointment"

Come on... he's an Original Nintendo Character with an awesome moveset... and hell his ranged grab could be with the Hunter's Whip... there is no excuse for him not being in the game... Grand Cross could be his Final Smash even. But, as I said... disappointment all around... soak it up people because another really awesome character opportunity is passing Nintendo by...

Besides, the character issues, I think this is going to be an excellent game in which I will spend countless hours playing via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection...

See you all on the Battle Zone!!!
