In 33 years, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has somehow spawned just one official RPG, and it didn't even come from the Sonic Team mothership. That was Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, a BioWare game released on the Nintendo DS in 2008, and while you're recovering from the psychic damage of that information, have some more: Sonic Team lead Takashi Iizuka hopes to make a Sonic RPG of his own before he retires.
Iizuka discussed this particular dream in a recent interview with Good Vibes Gaming (thanks, Eurogamer), affirming that he's a big fan of RPGs and can't help but wonder, "'Why haven't we done a Sonic RPG in all this time? How have we gotten to 30 years with no RPGs?!'"
