Sister Sonic (シスターソニック) is a cancelled rebranding of the Mega-CD platform role-playing game Popful Mail announced in late 1992.

History

Originally, the plan was to replace the existing cast of the game with Sonic the Hedgehog characters, including another member of Sonic's family, the bounty hunter Sister Sonic.[1][2] Due to a large number of angry letters sent to Sega Falcom (the name which would be used for the Sega and Falcom team) by fans of the original PC game, it was decided to cancel this port[3] and instead settle on a more direct port of Popful Mail to the Mega-CD.[4]
