Nintendo Power drops details on BioWare's Sonic RPG

[wraggster]

While the marriage of the story-heavy RPG architects of BioWare to Sega's speedy azure mascot may seem like a combination too oddball to believe, we assure you -- the same company who made Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic is in fact making a Sonic the Hedgehog RPG for the Nintendo DS. Need proof? French gaming site JeuxFrance.com has early scans of the next issue of Nintendo Power, including a few details about the game, and a handful of intriguing screenshots.

The game, titled Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, will feature eleven playable characters from the Sonic universe, as well as other mainstays from the series, such as chaos emeralds, rotund mustachioed antagonists, and rings. We'll have to wait to see whether the game will feature some BioWare mainstays, such as murderous robots, or opportunities to swap tartar sauce with a member of another species. Oh, wait -- we guess that's a Sonic thing, too.

I can definitely imagine this being bad... But I'll check it out. Hopefully I'll be wrong.

Since the Mega Drive/Genesis days, the characters (all of them) have been so unbearably awful that i cannot see how this will turn out to good.

Eh, a Mario RPG seemed unlikely but Square turned it into one of the greatest games for the SNES. It can be done.

BioWare haven't made too many bad games (if any) so this should turn out to be good.
