Official Nintendo Magazine to Announce New NiGHTS Game?

Post by **racketboy** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 10:00 am

Yeah I just played NiGHTS again last month and I was still really getting into it. I would just like a remake if nothing else so it looks smoother on a high-def display.
It's such a visual and imaginative game and I think it would be a shame not to have it upgraded.

I think his eyes are a bit freaky.
Plus his outfit looks more like a matador

It does look more suited for Dreamcast. But if thats real, then I'm sure it's in a very early state.

And we got one:

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (April 2, 2007) – SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. today announced NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams™, the long awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed NiGHTS franchise that gave gamers the freedom to fly in a world of dreams and imagination. NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is being developed for Nintendo’s Wii™ video game console and is scheduled to be released in Fall 2007.

“We plan to deliver a gameplay experience never before seen on the Wii with NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams,” said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. “The game takes full advantage of the unique Wii Remote controller enabling gamers to guide NiGHTS through spectacularly designed dream worlds intertwined with a story about hope and courage.”

As a fantasy jester called NiGHTS, players will fly through Nightopia, a rich and vibrant world where dreams come to life. With the innovative Wii Remote, gamers will experience a heightened sense of gliding, spiraling, and looping through seven mystical dream worlds packed with high-flying adventure. Players must find inventive ways to confront the “Nightmarens” from the neighboring dark world of Nightmare using amazing acrobatic skills, freedom of flight, and other special abilities to protect Nightopia. NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is an adventure filled with courage, hope and inspiration that the whole family will enjoy this holiday season.

Now I get to look like an idiot forever. I fall for the first 5 NiGHTS hoaxes, and then shrug off the eventual real one.

The real question is if this confirms that Sega themselves are working on it? Those rumors of a third party are dimming down now. If it's by Sega, I still wouldn't put much hope into this one.

Yeah, that's why I'm not bouncing off the walls.
When Destructoid talked about the news, they mentioned me specifically as probably been estatic since I had it on my "Games That Need A Sequel" article a while back and I'm always talking about it. But when I read their post, I couldn't help but have a nervous chuckle.
