It’s a story almost too bizarre to be believed, but the rumors that Bioware are creating a Sonic the Hedgehog RPG for the DS are indeed true. The news was confirmed when a French gaming site posted some scans from the future issue of Nintendo Power.
The game will be titled Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood and will feature 11 playable characters from the franchise. News is that Robotnik, aka Eggman, won’t be the principal baddie. Your character will be controlled exclusively with the stylus (just like Phantom Hourglass) but it is yet unclear whether the combat will be turn based or live action.
That’s the extent of our knowledge at the moment, but judging by the screens we can’t wait for the game. Check after the jump for a few more screens.
It’s weird enough having Sonic in Super Smash Bros Brawl, but having both Sonic and Mario in a game developed by Sega where they don’t kick the crap out of each other is just blasphemous. Apart from the obvious moral outrage we haven’t got much apart from ambivalent feelings towards Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Unless they pull out something massive that isn’t in the video it looks like it’ll be a little dull. But do check out the above trailer for the DS version of the game to form your own (perhaps more optimistic) opinion.
A UK:RESISTANCE reader has managed to photograph yet another classic example of when cosplay goes horribly wrong - this time involving a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog.

First it was SEGA’s announcement of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, now we have Sonic appearing as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. How things have changed since I was young, when kids were throwing punches over whether the Genesis was better than the Super Nintendo.
Originally planned for release in North America on December 3, the Smash Bros. Dojo now lists the release date as TBD.
