Sonic Chronicles gets a Japanese Release Date

In case you might have forgotten, BioWare and Sega teamed up last year to make a Sonic the Hedgehog RPG, known as The Dark Brotherhood. Reception here in the West was, well, only okay. For BioWare, that's not very encouraging, but for Sonic, well, that's better than he's done in a while, so we'll let it slide.

Though the game hit our shores in September last year, Japan has only just got a release date for the little blue Hedgehog's first turn-based attempt.

Renamed to Sonic Chronicles: Yami Jigen kara no Shinryakusha (Invaders from the Dark Dimension), the game is set for release on Japanese DSes August 6, 2009. Wow, that's almost an entire year.

See? Sometimes Japan has to wait for RPGs too.
