Basically in answer to your statements:

I saw the trailer video and it showed the playable characters waving to the screen. That's how both wikis know who's gonna be in it.

I'm sure this game will be all right if it's got some decent events, but without Eggman Nega it wouldn't be worth spending sixty bucks on when I've already got a perfectly enjoyable Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympics Games where I can play some fun events as Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Metal Sonic, Eggman, Daisy, and Luigi. The only thing this game really has over that for me is that Espio and Wave are in it, but it might still not be worth it for me, as I can already play as them while killing the Ifrit and Wave, as I own Sonic Rivals 2 and Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. It's not so much the game is terrible; it's that Nintendo and Sega made some bad decisions and the game might not be worth it. (I'd feel differently if I didn't have London 2012)

Fawful would have been cool too, he appeared in three games while Zavok and Zazz only appeared in one. And Nintendo could use Fawful if they wanted to, the Geno thing has already been explained here. It doesn't matter that he's dead, because so are Zavok, Zazz, Metal Sonic, and MAYBE Eggman Nega, and these games aren't in the continuity of the main story.
