BioWare -- developers of games such as Mass Effect -- will be developing a Sonic RPG for the Nintendo DS in an attempt to improve the image of the 20 year old Hedgehog.

Sega President Simon Jeffery in a statement said, “Everyone at SEGA has huge confidence that Sonic is in the safest of hands, and that BioWare can create the ultimate handheld RPG experience for gamers of all ages,”

This is BioWare's first handheld game since founding its handheld division last year, which is eager to work with the Nintendo DS. The game is being aimed at a Summer 2008 release.
