Ninendo and Sonic pull a double

If your fetish is for small, blue spiky creatures, Nintendo will soon be your hook up. Sonic Team boss Yuji Naka has confirmed not one, but two games featuring the blue spiky one known as Sonic. The one-time Sega mascot is coming to both the GC and DS. Very few details are forthcoming, though Sonic Adventure is expected to be the vein of at least the GC title.

If you could go back in time, say, 12 years, I wonder what sort of odds you'd get betting on there being a Sonic title on a Nintendo console? Assuming they'd take your bet between fits of laughter...
