A Sonic RPG?

Sega and BioWare have just announced that they are partnering to develop an RPG based on Sonic the Hedgehog. BioWare is among the hottest RPG developers around, creating titles like Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire and Mass Effect.

Little information has been announced about the game aside from that it will be an RPG for the DS and is currently due to be released in 2008.

Nintendo has been successful at creating RPGs about their flagship character, Mario. Can Sega do the same? Perhaps if anyone can help them do it, it's BioWare!
