While Sega's jester wasn't slated to appear in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, Sega and developer Sumo Digital took the heartfelt pleas from countless fans to heart, giving NiGHTS a very important role in the upcoming racer. More »

We've heard about Sega's NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams using the Wii weather channel to control weather within the game, but in an article on 1Up, Sega has revealed that there is some additional hidden content on the disc. In the "My Dream" part of the game, players can raise their own A-Life and the hidden content will allow them to have monthly celebrations. Using the Wii calendar as a time clock, the little AIs can celebrate various holidays each month including New Years, Chinese New Year, Halloween, Thanksgiving and even the Bull-Run. Make the jump to check out each month's activities. More »

Sonic and friends are taking to the court in a new tennis game entitled Sega Superstar Tennis. While sports games don't really intrigue me, I do like the collection of characters they've gathered for this game like Nights (from NiGHTS), Amigo (Samba De Amigo) and my personal favorite, Space Channel 5's Ulala. Of course Sonic and Dr. Eggman are on hand as well because after all, what would a Sega title be without Sonic. But this trailer really begs the question: Who would win in a tennis match, team Mario or team Sonic? More »

With NiGHTS into Dreams finally getting a Wii-bound sequel and a surprise remake for the PlayStation 2, what else does Sonic Team have planned? Gearbox Software is already hard at work on a Samba de Amigo follow up and no one actually cares if that furry Billy Hatcher ever shows his face again. But what about Burning Rangers, one of the Saturn's finest technical achievements? More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=327752&view=rss&microfeed=true Here we finally get treated to a nice lengthy NIGHTS trailer. This game from Sega is causing quite a stir and the lines to play it at TGS were phenomenally long. At least this trailer has some better music than the last one we saw. I know, I know it was the original music and everyone got in a tizzy because I said it was terrible. Well sorry, but nostalgic or not it was still terrible. One man's opinion. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=324097&view=rss&microfeed=true Here we have the Japanese trailer for the much talked about NiGHTS for the Wii. The video is a little pixely and the music is god awful but it's enough to give you a little taste of what the game is going to be like. Legions of NiGHTS fans have been eagerly awaiting this title's release, but if the game is anywhere near as bad as the music, I don't think I will be picking it up. As a matter of fact, just do yourself a favor and watch it with the volume down. Believe me, you'll be much happier. If only I had had someone to warn me before I pressed play... More »

Word has it that NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams isn't quite ready to wake up. According to NiGHTS fan site, the game is apparently delayed until Q1 2008. This holiday is jammed packed enough, so this delay could work out best for SEGA. The official NiGHTS US page shows the game is still on for this fall, but we're contacting SEGA to verify this rumor.

According to its own box art, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams will have Wi-Fi — whether that means is still anyone's guess right now. Fingers gently crossed that it's something like online versus play. Though, I've been burned in the past, so I'm not trying to get that excited about NiGHT: Journey of Dreams, which is out this fall. Still, it's nice to see a Wii game that isn't preceded by the word "mini." More »

Don't let the block letters fool you, SEGA can be slippery. Take Takashi Iizuka, for example. The NiGHTS: Journey into Dreams producer. You've got questions, he doesn't have answers! Well, he has answers, just not the ones you want to hear. Don't believe me? Let's dive in: More »

If you're a BioWare fan and fancy yourself a designer, this could be the perfect opportunity for you. BioWare is currently on the hunt for a world designer for their upcoming MMO that's being developed in Austin, Texas. To help them along in the process, they are holding a contest to see who can create the best module using the Neverwinter Nights 1 Aurora Toolset. But, there's more to world design than pretty scenery and cool characters, and you can bet Bioware will be scrutinizing every entry. More »

The wait is over! When NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams was originally announced in Japan, Sega said it hadn't yet decided on a Japanese title. It has and will be called NiGHTS: Hoshifuru Yo no Monogatari (AKA "Story of the Night of the Falling Stars"). Even in Japanese, that new surtitle doesn't really do it for me. At all.

French gaming site Jeux-France has posted scans from the Portuguese magazine Maxi Consolas, featuring exclusive images from the soon to be announced NiGHTS game for the Nintendo Wii that has fans of the original peeing themselves in delight. In order to understand the article I contacted Kotaku's French correspondent, Google Language tools. Google? More »

No more rumors. No more speculation. Swedish videogame mag GameReactor has released a teaser image of their upcoming April issue—they're quite serious, mind you—featuring their "exklusivt!" reveal of Sega's sequel to the Saturn classic NiGHTS Into Dreams. Funny that they don't actually mention the hardware platform, isn't it? Still, the fact that the Official Nintendo Magazine in the UK is running their NiGHTS issue soon leads us to conclude it's coming to the Wii. For now. More »

You know, the one in which Sega says they'll stop driving the Sonic franchise into the ground. Can't wait. Brian Ashcraft More »

The Official Nintendo Magazine promises they're not yanking our chain when it comes to the obvious NiGHTS Into Dreams teaser they've included in their latest issue. Regardless of whether the game comes to Nintendo's Wii or not, former Sega designer and Sonic creator Yuji Naka won't be on board. More »

Sega Saturn NiGHTS could be getting that long-over-due sequel gossips Famitsu. The game's creator Yuji Naka has publically stated he's against NiGHTS 2, TWO NiGHTS, Another NiGHT, NiTE NiGHT or whatever they're gonna call it. He told the a British Dreamcast mag in 2000: ""I know a lot of people love it and want us to make a sequel, but for us it's a really important game. Like the way Spielberg likes E.T. so much he won't remake it, I don't want to make another NiGHTS." Then, how about E.T. 2? More »
