Whirling to a DS near you, Nintendo Power has finally given up the goods regarding Sonic’s first RPG, originally reported back in August. Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, produced by BioWare (of Mass Effect fame), has finally been announced. It features 11 party members–all your favorites–including Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Big the Cat and, of course, the main man himself: Sonic. It purports to be a turn-based RPG utilizing the unique touch screen ability of the DS.

The story so far: Sonic is having a well-deserved vacation after scrambling Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik for the umpteenth time. Tails gives him a ring and lets him know that Knuckles has been kidnapped by a new group called the “Marauders.” The interesting twist is that this is not an evil scheme hatched by Robotnik, but the entirety of the plot remains a mystery.
