Many moons ago, I posted about Bioware working on a Sonic RPG for the Nintendo DS. Certainly sounded great on paper, and I was certainly enthusiastic enough to believe Bioware can make it work. But by “work”, I meant the parts which required the button-input playing parts, hoping in some odd twist - making the whole damn thing unique enough to be remotely enjoyable. Plot-wise however, the Sonic series has been notorious for some of the most bizarre and melodramatic trite I’ve ever seen come out of the anthropomorphic animal kingdom. And I really enjoyed Kingdom Hearts! So I’m skeptical, to say the least, that Bioware can pull it off any better. Then this cute piece of animation came about… well, it’s not really “animated” per se, not in the traditional sense anyway. Regardless, it stands as a firm reminder. No matter how many gut-wrenchingly bad plots can emerge from the Sonic games of now, they can be a hell of a lot worse off. Like. A whole lot worse.

But then again! I’ve known to be proven wrong on countless occasions. Yes, there’s that too, isn’t that right, Sega? Effin’ Boneheads, man. I tell ya.
