Here's what's happening with that rumor to TRY to clear up everything for a least an hour. Yuji Naka, almighty creator of all that is Sonic(or most of it)noted that he has a close relationship(not in love,duh)with He Whose Nose We Are Not Worthy to Pick(I got that from an older EGM,it's Shigeru Miyamoto). Mr. Naka and Mr. Miyamoto both said this,or something like this: "It is possible, but not yet, we'd have to wait and see." There you have it. Strait out of a least 5 issues of EGM magaine.
All hail the almighty Oreo cookie master.
