Soul Calibur's console exclusive characters are always cool, whether it is Link on the Gamecube, Yoda on the 360, or Kratos on the PSP - and it would seem that Sega agrees! Keep in mind this is all just a rumor at the moment, but it would seem as though Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing will have a console specific character for each system.

A leaked image from Sega Europe designer Chris Lewis' website reveals the box art for the Xbox 360 version of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. The juicy part, because you asked, is on the back of the box showing off Rare's famous duo Banjo and Kazooie!

Lewis’ website, featuring the leaked Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing box-art has since been killed — so it must have hit a nerve.

Why would Microsoft be the only company to get in on the frantic racing game, I mean Mario and Sonic seem to have been playing nice lately, so one would assume that Banjo and Kazooie are probably the Microsoft reps for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, leaving Nintendo and Sony with an open spot for other exclusive characters on their respective systems.

Though nothing has been confirmed, it would appear that it is only a matter of time before it is.

Who do you want to see representing Nintendo if these rumors are true? Who would you like to see representing Sony?

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing has a tentative release date of February 10, 2010.
