Well, since they're 4.5 inches, they won't fit in the Lite stylus holder either. Lite styli are close to 3.5 inches.
Edit: Gamefly threw up a release date of October 2nd. Dunno if that was already previously announced or not.
Also, how about some new pix?
This game is gonna be the best thing to happen to sonic since he discovered caffine.
Seems to be from the PAL version, since there are screens in all languages.
The page after the one linked has translations for most of the items, except the Power Bonbon, which reads "A refreshing recipe, that strengthens body and soul", is usable by all characters and adds 5 PP, which I guess is how many times a move is used?
The chao look cute, I wonder if you can raise them or they hatch that way? Because that's the impression I get from the pics.
Also, I wish they'd get rid of the Sonic X artwork already.. -_-
...looks good, Those chow look interesting,
Rouge "If i knew if was going to be this cold i would have worn my other boots"
....So rouge gets cold in the mountain & is more worried about her feet freezing then her body....she's one zany bat.
New screenshots featuring Kron.
Edit- Apparently GUN commander get an update look yet Sonic and friends get Sonic X artwork. What up with that Bioware.

Actually, your feet, hands, and your head are the first parts of your body to get cold, especially hands/feet. If those become numb, you're in a lot of trouble. It makes sense to worry about your feet. My personal experience with cold weather goes along with the generalizations that are made about that.

Ducard in Batman Begins: "Rub your chest. You arms will take care of themselves."
So is that a dumb line, or what? 0o

E3 Demo of the of the game here(for those of you who missed the live demostration)

Cream is also confirmed as a playable character.
LOL. I like the mini game when bad guys tries to escape and you have to chase them down.
So I gather that Chao that are with you in battle are like PSO Mags. That pretty cool.
I haven't played any of the PSO games but 'mags' are like 'accessory' items in every other RPG, correct?
Mags help you in battle by healing you, giving you invulnerability and updating your stats. They can also evolve into 3 forms. The downside to them is you also have to feed them to keep them happy and helpful.
Funny enough there are Mags that look like Chao in PSO.
You can find more about Mags here.

I don't know why that's a problem. The Commander's new design looks like ass.

Bruce Wayne falls through the sheet of ice over a frozen lake thanks to his mentor, in the next scene they're sitting in front of a fire and Bruce is trying to warm up again.
Only saying because I'm interested to know whether they're right or not. 😛
Perhaps there's a difference between staying warm while in the cold, and warming up from the cold in front of a fire. But we digress.
No one has seem to noticed.

There is a part where it says:
The combat system in Sonic Chronicles
is an interesting combination of Sonic the Hedgehog-style speed and turn-based
combat, which takes a bit of getting used to. The basic concept is fairly
simple: Sonic and his pals have Health Points (HP) and Technique Points
(TP) and take turns beating down enemies. The major twist is that characters
in Sonic Chronicles have multiple actions in a single
round, depending on their speed. In the E3 demo, for example, my team
was made up of Sonic, his rival Shadow, Knuckles the Echidna and Cream
the Rabbit. Sonic, being Sonic, was blazingly fast and got three turns
in a single round. Shadow and Knuckles, which are not quite as fast as
Sonic, were capable of multiple regular attacks. Cream, however, was so
slow that she only got a single attack. Once you choose to attack, your
characters use up multiple attacks in a single round, and the same goes
for defending. Obviously, defending lowers the damage you take from attacks,
and it also regenerates some TP.
And yes, that part bolded said Cream.
But didn't Ashide just tell us that?
But didn't Ashide just tell us that?
I couldn't find that.
It's on this page. o.o
"About ten playable characters"
We have nine already (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, Omega, Amy, Cream, Big - that's Teams Sonic, Dark and Rose). Shade would make ten. Hopefully we'll encounter the Chaotix as NPCs. Maybe a subquest to help them out with their latest case?
The great variety of different available characters continued beyond the playable stars, too, as the in-game Chao Garden was also overrun with a vast amount of different Chao creatures. Chao characters function as equippable items in Sonic Chronicles, as you're allowed to assign one of the Chaos to accompany each one of your playable fighters. Doing so provides a variety of bonuses - a plus to strength or defense, increased speed, or the chance that enemies will drop more items after you complete a battle. There will be over 40 different Chaos in the final retail edition of Chronicles, and it'll be another element of the game that individual players who enjoy character customization should be looking forward to.
So the Chao are indeed like the PSO Mags. Cool.
Also the game website has been updated.
Big the Cat can poison foes.
o_0
Cream the Rabbit can heal her friends.
Meh, most figured she would be a healer
E-123 Omega can manipulate time itself,
Woah, an even bigger 0_o, where the heck did that come from? I'm glad to hear the game is getting better, but I hate to say it but this guy kinda seems like he was just trying to make it sound good. I hope that's not the case as I want other people besides me to like this game.

Basically what TTG said. Your extremities cool and warm faster on their own. That means less attention is necessary for them when you have a heat source, but the opposite holds true when you don't have one--unless we're talking about extreme situations where it's preferable to lose some fingers/toes/hand/foot as long as you stay alive.
Edit: **finishes reading hands-on article** Boo to Sonic always being the leader (re: in the party of 4) and needing Amy to get through some barrier when Knux was being used (shouldn't Knuckles have been able to take care of that?). Otherwise, nice. ^^
I have got to say that the video is making this game look even better. And TR, when gamespot was talking to the Sega rep, the rep said that you don't have to use Sonic all the time so I say that IGN article meant you always had to have Sonic for that particular demo.
<<and needing Amy to get through some barrier when Knux was being used (shouldn't Knuckles have been able to take care of that?).>>
I think it is because they are limiting one special move per character. Amy is mainly known for her hammer, and while Knuckles has the ability to smash things too, he also can climb walls. Supposedly, his special ability in this game is wall scaling.
I thought it was ladder scaling, there's a difference.
Great Vid, I just went to Gamestop yesterday & reserved my copy (wich means ill be getting the exclusive Stylus set yay!) anyway this Game is gonna Be that bomb. I find it funny that The DS is the only modern system to not have a bad sonic game (hope i don't jynx it.)
Well, the PSP hasn't had any either as the Rivals series has been generally well received.
^I thought they were pretty much ignored and/or received very average reviews.
Most people I see talked about it liked them, including people here; I think Wiki says they've been fairly positive. Of course, I don't think they've been lauded like the Rush series, but yeah.
I admit Rivals is ok but like you said razor it hasn't been lauded like Rush, well becuase its not really as good as the Rush series, don't get me wrong the Rivals games are fun ecspecially the 2nd one But I gotta say when it comes to Handhelds sonic fits the DS better then the PSP however i would'nt mind seeing a Rivals 3 if they added Blaze & Chaos as playable characters (But i'd much rather see a Sonic Rush 3)
I could take Blaze in a Rivals 3, but please, Chaos is a slow character, slower than even Silver, and to have him as a playable character in a racing game doesn't really make much sense. Anyway, I know of a guy at the GameFAQs board, I think it's Bendlin, who actually like the Rivals series better than the Rush series, which I don't really see why, but meh.
Official site was updated. Amy and a Chao egg are there. The other characters also have more info, and there's now 60 rings to collect instead of 45.

Link please?
Thanks, neat site...I wonder what Shade is though, could she some type of lizard, a rabbit, a demon, a goat? what? & i wonder if will get to see what she looks like without her mask/helment on?
Sonic Chronicles is GameTrailers best DS game of E3.
Which I find surprising...Rhythm Heaven is on the top of my list...
It won because of its "wtf" factor. all the other nominees were something you'd just expect on a hand held. Sonic. ok. RPG. ok.
Wait....Sonic RPG WTF?!?! Eventhough Just about anybody who cares to know about it knew long before E3. So they're probably STILL shocked by the concept. Or what they saw genuinly impressed them.
It won because of its "wtf" factor. all the other nominees were something you'd just expect on a hand held. Sonic. ok. RPG. ok.
Maybe it actually won because it is a Bioware made game because I sure as heck didn't expect Nintendo of America to bring Rhythm Heaven DS to North America. 
Its probably because E3 this year was a weebucket of fail. Especially for Nintendo and this was genuinely the best game for the DS at E3.
I'm still expecting this game to be alright to be honest. It has to be said its not meeting expectations. Lets put it like this.
Anouncement: Bioware are making a Sonic RPG for the DS.
Me: HOLY POOP! Bioware are awesome in everything they touch! Maybe they can add some quality to the brand!
Announcement: EA Buys Bioware.
Me: Oh dear. That cant be good for the game.
Then nothing until the first shots. And its steadily been going downhill since then really. If anyone could do a Sonic RPG and make it work it'll be Bioware I think. (Or Lionhead Studios >_>) I think trouble is we were all thinking of Mass Effect and KOTOR when they announced it and this game isn't going to compete with those.
and this was genuinely the best game for the DS at E3.
You doubt Rhythm Heaven, my good sir? Seriously, I'm anticipating that game more than Sonic Chronicles, and I love RPGs more than music games.
Best Nintendo DS Game
Sonic Chronicles - Winner
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Chrono Trigger
Puzzle Quest: Galactrix
Rhythm Heaven
No Retro Game Challenge, really? And Kirby is looking like a better remake than Chrono Trigger to be honest.
Just looking at Rhythm Heaven for the first time. Straight away I think "It looks like Wario Ware!" Then the announcer blurbed "...from the creators of Wario Ware..." and I laughed. It does look good and it probably will be good but it looks like Wario Ware. With rhythm action. I love Wario Ware. I just don't get over-excited when one is coming up.
Unless there is going to be a Sega themed one. I would wee myself.
Ecclesia looked pretty good. But then I didn't really like the first Castlevania on the DS.
I'm surprised Chrono Trigger didn't win it according to Gamestrailers. Everyone loves that game. Apparently. I dont know.
Judging from that video, I thought Castlevania looked better than the rest of the games on the video. But they all looked quite good.
Rhythm Heaven is more of an original rhythm-timed music game than a bite-sized mini-game fest like Wario Ware and its clones.
And Chrono Trigger winning "Best of E3" for GT? *Pppfff*, that's a port and I love CT.
Though, in the end these "Best of E3" awards really don't carry a lot of weight in the long run. Case in point, Blinx won Best in Show for E3 for some publication years ago, and look how that game turned out at the end. XD
Bunni is right Ryhtm heaven will rock, (& so will chrono trigger.)
but back on topic....SONIC CHRONICLES FTW!!!!
HELLO! is anybody here?
Don't double post just because no one has anything to talk about. >=
I hope somebody other than the main bad guy dies. Isn't th at like...a staple in RPG's?
Though if a character does die I bet it'll just be a Disney Death
