Next PS2 Sega Ages installment: NiGHTS

Post by GagaMan »

So much for it being "imposible to port because of the Saturn's unique programming:

Appears to have Christmas NiGHTS in it as well, and the graphics look smoothed out, so it's probably been re-programmed from scratch.

That's nice, more people will be able to play those classics.

Personally I was expecting it to come just on the virtual console and similar release channels (the Wii is more powerful than the PS2, right? I'm guessing it is showing up there as well).

Now, I'm sure there will be people sad at this because it makes their Saturns less unique (and Radiant Silvergun may be getting re-released as well one of these days) - but I'm not one of them.

It will make the saturn less unique, but it will allow more people to play a great game that they probably never heard of until the wii version started getting some press. Personally I wouldnt really go for something like this anyway as theres nothing like getting some nice retro hardware and hunting out the original.

If I was lucky enough to own a copy of Radiant Silvergun I'd be pretty peaved at a re-release because it would surely devalue it

Nice to see, but I'd be surprised it it makes it out of Japan.
Just like the Panzer Dragoon one, once its released in Japan, you never hear of it again.

Good man! Don't support this crap this is the biggest betrayal in a long line of big betrayal from SEGA :cry: Needless to say I'm going to get my friend to pirate it so we can negatively support it.

nothing is imposable to port if you completely rebuild the code.
