The most recent issue of nintendo power offered up some new info on the upcoming DS RPG, Sonic chronicles: The dark brotherhood. The reasion you should care even if you dislike Sonic or haven't played the character since the Sega dreamcast days of yore, is because its developed by Bioware.
Bioware having brought us hit RPG titles Star wars Knights of the old republic, Jade empire and the recent hit Mass Effect, has the experience to make a high quality role playing game based on the sonci universe.
Unlike all the other Bioware games however you'll be allowed a party size of up to four different characters. The Sonic crew can be composed of Sonic (of course), Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, Amy and Big the Cat.
The Combat will be turn based with the controls being entirley stylus based just like phantom hourglass. This doesn't have me bummed since its after all a DS title and Bioware's turn semi turn based game KOTOR (knights of old republic), handled well gameplay wise. The jist of this infromation is that the comabt will be roughly the same as that of the final fantasy series or Blue Dragon.
Some attacks will be team based while others will be special attacks to be purchased and leveled up. The currency of the game will be Rings, meaning that all the rings he's been collecting since the 80's finally translate into bling.
The Story consists of two acts, the first being in the familiar sonic world while the second takes us to a darker one. In other words the difference will be night and day with the darker world being dreary and probably populated with generic bad guys.
The Sonic RPG looks to be well worth the cash. I'll post any additional info that pops up on the internets.
