Sonic Heroes Storylines Revealed in New Japanese Magazine Article

Some new information about Sonic Heroes' storyline has been unveiled in a new Japanese gaming magazine. Thanks to Nintendo Dream, we now know why each of the teams in the game are trying to stop Eggman from taking over the world, as well as the name of a brand new Chao character.

The magazine article includes five new screenshots of the game in action, too. Sonic HQ forum user manaita has translated the text to reveal the basic storylines behind each Sonic Heroes team. Team Sonic, for example, receives a letter from Eggman threatening to conquer the world with a new weapon. Sonic accepts the challenge and runs to danger. Eggman's letter reads:

Quote

Dear Sonic Heroes,

Guess what, Sonic Heroes? I've finally developed the ultimate weapon! In three days I'll conquer the world! Think you can stop me?

Sincerely,
Eggman

For Team Rose, Amy sees a photo of Sonic in a newspaper and decides to follow him, but Big and Cream are also looking for their friends. Big the Cat, of course, is looking for Froggy, and Cream is looking for the older brother of Cheese the Chao. 'Manaita' later revealed that the brother's name was called Chocolate.

The name of Chees's elder brother is "Chocolat".@(not Yoghurt or Mozarella or Fondu. lol)
Chocolat and Froggy appeared in a photo with Sonic on the newspaper which Amy was reading.

As for Team Dark, Rouge enters Eggman's base and discovers Shadow in a containment chamber. Shadow has lost his memories, and he teams up with Rouge and a robot called Omega who also holds a grudge against Eggman. So they go after the mad scientist for revenge.

Finally, Team Chaotix are a detective agency in this game, and "receive any request if there is an ample reward." A suspicious caller send a package with a request to complete a job. Although the request was anonymous, there was a big reward offered, so Vector, Espio and Charmy accept. Literally Dollar signs in their eyes.

Now we know the main stories behind all the characters, hopefully we get to learn more about the journeys each team takes along the way soon as well.
