Sonic Chronicles website releases new screens showing off battle system

April 04th, 2008 | Category: Nintendo DS

Sega has gotten around to launching the official website for upcoming DS title Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. And, most perplexing to us here at DS Fanboy is the battle system for the game. Since we have nothing but screens to look at, it’s kind of hard to estimate precisely how these new targeting rings (that’s what we’re assuming they are) will mesh with the turn-based battle system.

Sure, we’ve seen in-battle screens before, but none of them had these weird rings. We’re assuming they’ll work with the stylus (uh-duh), but wonder whether they’ll be anything like the

rings you must tap in Ouendan and Elite Beat Agents, or whether they’ll work in some other manner? We know the battle system for Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood utilizes combos, so perhaps the rings will work with that in some way?

Oh well, looks like we’ll have to wait and find out. In the meanwhile, see the new screens in our gallery below.
