Sonic Team Goes Chu-chu

In our continuing coverage of Sonic Team's upcoming projects, GameSpot has learned today that the company's third project is an action puzzle game entitled Chu-chu Rocket. The game can be played multiplayer using the Internet capabilities of the Sega Dreamcast.

So what ever happened to the second project from Sonic Team? The NAOMI-based arcade game will be announced during the JAMMA show between September 9-12 in Japan.

Chu-chu Rocket will be available in stores in Japan on November 11, and it will be priced at 2800yen (about US$25). A limited-edition box set that includes a skeletal orange Dreamcast controller will also be available the same day for 4800yen (about $44).

GameSpot will bring you screenshots and details of Sonic Team's second project soon.
