A Bioware with Who on What?

Talk about a crazy mashup here.

Gamespot has information about an upcoming Bioware RPG. Okay, nothing out of the ordinary there -- definately what the company is known for. However, the game features characters from the Sonic The Hedgehog universe. Hmm... That's a little different. Now, imagine the platform. Surely it's for Xbox360? Negative. It's for DS.

I just don't know what to say, except I'm excited. Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood looks to be a colorful and lively RPG experience. I'm also greatly warming to the Sonic cast as I've enjoyed his dynamic, poky blueness on Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Initial screens seem incredibly detailed and utterly adorable.

With the talent behind the game, it holds much promise for a great experience on the handheld. The experiences to be had on the little DS have been superior, from Mario Kart, Advance Wars: Dual Strike, Zelda Phantom Hourglass, and Professor Leyton, the Sonic RPG may be another game that carves out a place among the great handheld games of this generation.
