[DS] Sawwwnik Chronicles

It's about time they released some information on this, all I knew for the last 2 or 3 months was that Bioware was making an RPG of Sonic for the DS. Now all I need is a release date or even a year as to when this would be coming out.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's also the possibility that IGN, like all other reviewers, are biased. Seriously, what's wrong with this game so far that's been mentioned? You have turn-based RPG, you can encounter minor foes if you choose like in Chrono Trigger, you can do dual-techs, and you can have up to four people in your party that you can switch around if necessary. I've probably left things out, but looking at those statements alone it seems like that's an alright RPG to me, Sonic or not. All it requires is a good story and awesome music. As long as you have that, how can you go wrong?

I guess they were expecting something groundbreaking from BioWare. Whether it's Sonic, Mario, or another RPG game, what exactly can you make on the DS that's "groundbreaking?" You'd expect that sort of thing to be more geared towards the home consoles since you have more to work with there.

Anyway, I don't know if I've mentioned this before but when I get this game it'll be my first BioWare experience.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Are you talking about more than four characters in battles or more than four characters in general? If it's the latter, then there are more playable characters unless it's been mentioned that you can only use those other characters at certain points in the game and they switch out, much like in FFVIII with Seifer and FFIX with Blank.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

But yeah, only IV characters in battle is too bad. I like a few more options in my battles.

Sorry, FF8 was the first FF I ever played. I loved it and it's one of my favorites.

Edit: Deni edited faster than I could post, but I'd still like to know the most characters you've had control over in a battle in a traditional RPG.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Gametrailers video of trailer

That's funny that they got the movie guy to voice the trailer. It could've been better and shown more gameplay, but it's not that bad of a trailer. The comic style story sequences will also be something new for me.

I was speaking idiomatically.
