""Hmm…" Said some bright spark from Sega, A rainy Wednesday afternoon, after one critical hammering of Sonic Riders -Sonia's attempt at Mario Kart- too many. "How about we rip-off Mario & Luigi as well? I hear Bioware are free…" Unfortunately, the other staff aren't listening, and decided they'll realise a Sonic version of Mario Tennis instead. Then a sequel to Sonic Riders. When… All of a sudden, Mr. Sonic RPG Charges in, flings his arms across the computers where SEGA Employees are lazily hammering away at the keyboards# developing a new Sonic game with a Sword or something#, and declares a halt. The tells them that Bioware want to make a Sonic game, and will me more then willing to let Sega help them. "It could be your annual Sonic game position taken! Honest! IT'LL WORK!!" This makes Sega commission it straight away, and so Sonic Chronicles takes form Mr. Bioware-"Heart"-Sonic=Game-Babies gets a place in history."

Despite the fame and popularity of both the studio and the IP in question, not everyone knows that Bioware developed a Sonic RPG prior to them being acquired by EA, Sonic Chronicles for the Nintendo DS, and it was recently detailed in a DidYouKnowGaming video that both Bioware and SEGA were down for a sequel, but it was ultimately canceled for a surprising reason: SEGA was sued for copyright infringement
to be fair tho, the rpg for the DS was a mess.
touchscreen-only was not a good way to make a game like this.
I wish Sega got together with Square and made a Sonic RPG for the Genesis I would have played that.
Just because the first one sucked, doesn't mean Sega should abandon the idea of a Sonic RPG.
