NiGHTS on the Wii -- Look Familiar?

Check out these videos:

Doesn't the level design and bosses look a LOT like the original?
Not necessarily a bad thing as long as you aren't expecting a fresh game.

At least after seeing this multiplayer stuff, I'm intrigued

The music is doing nothing for me. That's for sure.

But honestly, who expects Sega to still have the creativity they once had? It's long gone.

Oh and for the last time, these graphics are pretty good. I can't understand why most sites and their users are still calling this game ugly.

^ It's the whole it's on the Wii so it must be bad graphically, follow the crowd coz they have no discerning tastes of their own. Some bits do look pretty crappy tho (A-life) but the main game is great.

I for one am happy it's so in keeping with the original, and I do quite like the music too. I can understand totally why others would want more of a change tho.
The one thing that worries me is the slowdown that I've seen in a few videos. I'm not a framerate whore by anymeans, hell I love Guardian Heroes which seems to slow down to a crawl on two player, but I think a smooth framerate is needed for the kind of smooth lovely flight NiGHTS has. Hopefully that will be ironed out.

Still gotta find a Wii to play it with too.

Ok -- so am I the only one that thinks the levels and bosses look essentially the same as the original (only look better?)

You're not alone. I think it pretty much looks the same. The music isn't so bad, but it could be better.

yeh Galaxy is VERY impressive looking

the other thing is that in the case of these over the top fantasy type characters, too much detail, grittiness and bump mapping would look stupid and take away from the imagination

Ren and Stimpy springs to mind.

I, like most other people I have experienced, am excited yet apprehensive that Sega could screw this one up. This round of videos makes me think that they are trying to put a little more polish on the game, especially after the release of SMG (mmm mama). However we will see very soon what the final product will be given that the game ships in a few weeks...

Wasn't the beach ball type boss in the Saturn NiGHTs a rabbit or bunny girl?

[elph]

Wow, that boss looks totally like the first boss in the original game, just touched up for the new game. As for the rest of the video: The sound is pretty rotten, if you ask me. Both effects and music. But the graphics do look very nice.
