I'm not honestly holding my breath for a third one at this point though.
This is interesting. He stated 1-2 more third party characters, but then interviews afterwards had several key Nintendo representives saying they were not contacted by Sega to include Sonic in Brawl...and the third parties must contact them was kinda implied.
So does that mean Sakurai wasn't including Sonic in that list? I would assume so. Specially, since he also made it sound in the update that Sonic was kinda a recent addition to the series and he is working hard to balance him into the game.
I believe we will see 1 or 2 more 3rd party characters still. One better be Mega Man, because I want some super Mega Man action, and it would be nice to have another range dominant character besides Samus.
Also, I still believe Bomberman can make a great Brawl combatant.
