@Xagest: Well, 1 of the publications put it on the cover, which is pretty rare i would think. And unless they are owned by the same company, which it does not look so, there would be a very small chance of the same April Fools joke. Sure, they could have been inspired by the "next month" blurb in ONM, but these seems true.

NiGHTS is a great game - I do have it (along with the Christmas edition) and it is one of the best games I have played - and it has a lot of replay value in my opinion. Whenever I go back to it I do feel a little let down by the graphics which to be honest are not great. but the flow of the gameplay is like nothing else. It's hard to explain. I think you either "get it" or you don't.

I cannot imagine a sequel on anything except the Wii... it really is an obvious, choice motion sensing aside. I think it would be too quirky for the 360 and PS3... they would get hung up on the purple tights.

I really hope that SEGA figures out how to bring some of it's great franchises back with a bang... NiGHTS, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shenmue etc all deserve more QUALITY games. A part of me doesn't want this sequel, I just want them to make something that gives the same incredible sense of gameplay I got when I finally got the hang of high scoring links and flowing gameplay.

if this is good, I will probably buy it, but I am really worried they will mess it up.

Please don't mess it up.

I've never played NiGHTS, but we have in the apartment and my fiancee loves it. This would be a great little early birthday gift for him if this were true. I have to say it LOOKS like a lot of fun.

But I have to say I'm surprised by some of the snide comments. I know Sega has killed pretty much all of their good franchises (Sonic, Phantasy Star, Shining Force), but it's not fair to assume this game will suck. It hasn't been beaten to death yet so who knows...

Nikolii — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 16:31:26 MDT

Since when was NiGHTS some revered franchise that people should wet themselves over? I don't even think it would make a top 25 list of best games in that gen (Saturn/PS1/N64). Hell, I'm sure some could rattle off 100 more memorable games, especially if you toss in PC gaming from the same time.

Shenmue fan and Kid Icarus fan thinks NiGHTS is obscure.

Hell, after suffering through every miserable gaming failure Sega's dumped out since the merger and--with very few exceptions--every gaming failure since they shifted to 3D, I'm not sure how anyone should care about this in the first place. While I doubt we'll see Sonic-on-Girl action in this, I can almost guarentee there's going to be something equally painful.

Modern Sega sucks, and all the nostalgia in the world cannot change that. It's a shame Sammy didn't just mercy-kill them ala One Flew Over the Cukoo's nest.

badasscat — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 15:43:25 MDT

Go back and read some reviews. NiGHTS was *intended* as the graphical showcase that would prove the Saturn was on par with N64 and PlayStation. It did things the Saturn supposedly couldn't do, like copious amounts of transparency and particle effects with no slowdown.

I'm not saying the gameplay wasn't important, or that it wasn't a fun game, but it was supposed to go head to head with Mario 64 and it didn't fare too well there. When the actual reviews came out, it got middling to good scores, but almost all reviewers called it shallow in comparison to the competition. (I'm saying this from memory; I do recall Next Generation's review specifically.)

It's been a while since I played the game but I first played it about 3 years after its release and I wasn't into it enough to really try to get beyond the first boss, which seemed unnecessarily difficult at the time. I thought it had an imaginative look but most of the game just involved flying around on rails. That can be fun - I mean that's the same mechanic as any rail shooter a-la Rez or Panzer Dragoon or whatever - but NiGHTS was trying to be a bit different and it just wasn't quite there.

Which means a new one *could* pick up that potential and run with it, but knowing the modern-day Sega, I'm not holding my breath.

But I still think the PS3 and 360 can still produce amazing gameplay without motion sensing controls.

I guess I'm not yet sold on the idea of controlling NiGHTS with the wiimote...and in 480p

I agree with everyone saying that NiGHTS should be on the ps3/360.

NiGHTS on the Saturn blew me away with its graphics and I don't feel the Wii can create that same feeling today. Yes, using the wiimote would be an interesting experience but I'd honestly prefer using a standard game pad...like the 3D controller the original game came with.

And just to get it out there: I own both a Wii and PS3.

No-one has mentioned what, to me, was the greatest thing about Nights - the music. Even though I gave away my Saturn and my copy of Nights (hand me down to a younger cousin), I've scoured the 'tubes looking for MP3s of the music - all to no avail. I'd be super curious to find out who is doing the music and whether it will feature as prominently in this new version.

As for the graphics - if this *is* for the Wii, the vids of Super Mario Galaxy seem to suggest that the Wii can do some pretty cool stuff, even if it isn't HD. I'm tentatively excited - this could be awesome, or it could be ass...

I'm really confused as to why everyone seemed to think the original NiGHTS was about looks...from what I remember everyone was going on about the addictive score-attack gameplay, the A-life system and the fluidity of the controls before they even started about the graphics. Those are the traits I hold dear about the game, and are the parts that will make the sequel good if they're enhanced properly.

Having said that, I'm not being overly optimistic about the game - I find it hard to trust Sega nowadays.

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live. — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 13:24:54 MDT

hey, can I join the " I wish this was Shem Mue 3" fanclub. A possible Nights for Wii makes me think "meh".

I actually still have a working Saturn and the original Nights. It was good for its time but it didn't age well. As many of you have already mentioned, Sega of today is trash. How else do you explain Sega releasing a more than capable console in Dreamcast with no Shinobi, no Panzer Dragoon, No Hang-On, no Nights, no Streets of Rage, no space harrier, no thunderblade. It's like Nintendo releasing the Wii and never making a Smash Brothers for it or no Zelda or Mario. it's ridiculous. The strongest weapons Sega had in the fight against Sony and what do they do...shelve them. Absolutely brillant.

With that being said I have no faith that Sega can make this game good. None. I don't even think Yuji Naka is even viable anymore. When was the last time he or Sonic Team made a good Sonic game that's not on DS...or a good game in general? It's supposed to be on the Wii too? Bad Idea. Even if Sega managed to make the gameplay good, graphically this game really needs to shine, so unless Sega knows how to really push the Wii, Nights would be better suited to 360 or PS3.

I can't be excited about this. Give me a Shen Mue 3 with AM2 developing and Yu Suzuki at the helm and I'd eat it up.

So I'd rather see a high end graphical version as well, since that was really its strong suit the way I see it.

And if everyone is salivating so much for motion controlled NiGHTS, why didn't anybody pick up SegaSuperStars for PS2's EyeToy?

Seriously, though, I don't know why, if anyone REALLY wants this games to come back, they'd want it ANYWHERE but on a Nintendo system. The PS3 and 360 core audiences aren't going to by a game like NiGHTS.

I don't want to create polemic or anything but I have 2 questions:

- How many of you actualy PLAYED nights? I see too many people hyping it without ever having played any saturn game (Nights included.)

- What exactly in the game make of it a great candidate for a "next-gen" game?

Nights had awesome graphics and production values back then, that deformable soft scene was awesome. But this values don't translate in a new version of the game .. done YEARS later with a totaly (or mostly) new team. Even the old team today could be outdated or something.

So we get the gameplay style.. (Which ironicaly mario galaxy took some of .. considering Nights was the Mario 64 Killer! LOL) and the character/background design ..

We love it that much? dunno ..

Let's see how they will bring this thing to life.

Why do I get the feeling most people who are wetting their pants in joy have only heard about the original title via second-hand info? The original was kind of neat for the time and was a nice way to show off the Saturn's new "analog stick included" pad, but the game was more about presentation than gameplay. For that reason, I'd much rather see it on a console that can push outstanding visuals. I've already experienced what will likely be the "motion control" for this game - it's called the paper airplane minigame in WarioWare.

Seeing that Super Mario Galaxy is going to be a flying game and so is Nights. Is this what we have to look forward to on the Wii? Mario sets the standard for a Nintendo system.Super mario was 2D sidescroller and most NES games folloed the same pattern.N64's Mario was 3d platformer and most games on N64 were the same. Now Galaxy in a flying/platformer game and now we have Nights. So will Wii games be all about flying from now on?

@Omikaru: "Hopefully this is the signal of a turnaround for the company in terms of quality and actual franchises".

Probably not,Sega released a bounch of games during March and February and all of them sucked.They screwed Full auto (Even more),After Burner and Virtua Fighter wasnt quite as good as VF4 Evo.

Modern sega sucks,the best you can expect from them is something decent that you will enjoy with really low expectations.

A NiGHTS sequel, eh? I really like the original, and I still pop it (and Christmas NiGHTS!) in my Saturn froim time to time. It warms my heart to see a sequel after so long, but saddens me that it could be a Wii exclusive. I'm not sold on the console just yet.

It's never been clear what part Naka Yuji truly played in the creation of NiGHTS due to Naka's constant boasting about EVERYTHING, but it is clear that the creative director and NiGHTS designer was Oshima Naota. I could care less if Naka is involved, but it'd be nice if Oshima participates in the project.

When do we get to see the main character firing a gun and driving a car? Those changes made the new Sonic games so much better.

akwinters — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 12:02:06 MDT

I have mixed feeling. On the one hand, it's a new NiGHTS game, on the other it's being made by modern-day SEGA.

Hopefully this is the signal of a turnaround for the company in terms of quality and actual franchises.

If the teams responsible for any Sonic game since the original Sonic Adventure get near this, I will find something important to Sega and burn it to the ground. So help me. I'm one of the few that actually played the original NiGHTS, with analog controller, on the Saturn. Sega, you've shit all over my pre-adolescence; please don't move into my adolescence as well.

withaneight — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 12:01:28 MDT

I'm excited. The original title has eluded me for quite sometime. Back when the first one came out on the Saturn I just couldn't justify buying a Saturn to play one game... since then well, other things have kept me from getting it. I hope I haven't built this up to much in mymind... its possible that I already have, and will now be let down.

Count me among those who are completely confused about why this is a classic. Even for it's day, it seemed like the controls were kind of random.

An updated version will probably be better on the Wii, though, since now we can render 3D environments much better, and it would probably cut out a lot of frustration.

They'd be smart to cut the ground-pounding kid sections, though. I don't know anyone who actually played this game for anything but the flying parts.

Sega had BETTER not screw this game up. I still love the original Saturn game and play it quite a lot (and I bought it on release). Despite being really really worried about the game, I can't help but be really excited at the same time...PLEASE be good!!!

Boner get!

The fact that there's a giant render of the NiGHTS character on the front really squashes the April Fool's rumor. And I really don't see why they wouldn't. And since when do Swedes and Nintendo magazines form alliances? NEVER. They're moral enemies.

The original was not on the Dreamcast, but on the Sega Saturn. One of the main reasons to own a Saturn. It came packed with a special controller.

My main concern is not if this game is going to be good or not, but rather, where can I play the original? I'm one of the few it seems that never had an opportunity to play the original game and I'd like to play it through before worrying about a sequel.
