NiGHTS Wii confirmed again

By Tom Bramwell Published 3 April, 2007

And no returns.

Following weeks of speculation and yesterday's Japanese unveiling, SEGA Europe has finally owned up to NiGHTS' existence - with the Wii-exclusive sequel to the Saturn classic confirmed as due for release this autumn ("fall") in the US and winter in Europe.

Players will use the Wiimote to fly through Nightopia, gliding, spiralling and looping through seven mystical worlds according to their gestures, and coming up with various ways to confront the pesky Nightmarens.

Expect the game to take "full advantage" of the Wiimote and tell a story of "hope and courage". Don't expect to see any screenshots on the Internet not of the magazine born, though, as those "exclusives" have still to hit.

"NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams takes full advantage of the innovative Wii Remote by letting gamers fly through breathtaking dream worlds," says SEGA Europe's marketing director Gary Knight.

"NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams brings an exciting and unique gameplay experience to one of SEGA's most cherished franchises and is sure to attract a new generation of fans." A bit like Take That.

    I don't think Take That have *new* fans, they're the same ones, just older, with kids, mortgages and bingo-wings.

    what are bingo wings? like buffalo wings?

    Is Yuji Naka working on it? If not you hope they don't balls it up.

    I hope this becomes the Wii version of Halo3 news. Weekly updates that announce that "NiGHTS has had it's 47th weekly confirmation!" etc.

    That would be great.

    now can we have a new jet set radio for the wii?

    \o/

    As far as I know, Yuji Naka is off doing his own thing with a team he's putting together.

    I reeeeally hope that Sega don't fuck this up. Not meaning to be negative, but I'm not very confident in Sega nowadays. This should be the best Wii game upon release, but... with Sega's track record recently (except AM2)... I can't be optimistic.

    +where are the comments?!?!? No-one knows of Nights then?

    Does Wii's virtual console cover Saturn as well? If so, it would be great to release them both, so that those who missed the original first time around will get to experience both.

    Now all we need is a Jet Set Radio and Panzer Dragoon Saga. Hell, imagine ordinary Panzer Dragoon played on Wii controls!
