Sonic RPG from BioWare

Straight from the "weirdest marriages ever" department comes the announcement that BioWare is making a Sonic the Hedgehog RPG for the DS:

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (June 21, 2007) -- SEGA® of America, Inc., SEGA® Europe, Ltd., and Canada-based developer studio BioWare® Corp. today announced a partnership to create a new video game based on the classic SEGA flagship icon Sonic The Hedgehog. The exact name of the game is undetermined, and it will ship in 2008.

Based on the fact that just about every Sonic release since the Dreamcast has been utter crap, it's no surprise that SEGA had to do something drastic or risk having to take Sonic out behind the barn. I don't know if cascading dialogue trees with Knuckles will actually solve the problem, but it certainly sounds...interesting.
