NiGHTS is finally back after an overdue dream! http://www.1pstart.com/nights-confirmed-for-wii/

This isn't 90's Sonic Team though, this is MODERN-DAY Sonic Team. IE: Sonic 360, Shadow The Hedgehog, Sonic Heroes, I can go on and on...
If they somehow manage to NOT f*ck this up, then we will be experiencing a MIRACLE.

There is a big difference between a hugely popular mascot and a video game that hasn't gotten a sequel within a decade. When you have a character as popular as Sonic, it's easy to whore him out to make as much money as possible. I don't think this will be the case for NiGHTS, but we'll see.

Yeah, this is definitely a "wait and see" game. I wish we could have a version with some nice grafx though. Wii's grafx are sooooo 2001.
Title: Re: NiGHTS sequel coming to Wii!
Post by: Kitsunexus on March 28, 2007, 03:15:50 PM
Yeah, and I'd actually like to play with a gamepad. Let's hope it comes to 360 if it's good.
If it sucks, SEGA, f*ck YOU.

If the graphics are anything like the Sonic game for Wii, I think they'll turn out nicely.

I thought Sonic for Wii was decent. The whole style to it was mega gay as usual, but compared to the previous recent Sonic games, it's a big improvement. I think the new control scheme for Sonic on Wii worked out quite well.
But this ain't Sonic, damn it, WE TALKIN' BOUT NiGHTS INTO DREAMZZZ HERE!

Let me reiterate: SEGA, DON'T f*ck THIS UP.

I think NiGHTS would be okay on the Wii, if it controls similar to the original. All you did in the original was just move the control pad in circles anyways!

Before this game was confirmed, a lot of people were saying how perfect the Wiimote would be for NiGHTS. Not that I wouldn't want to see NiGHTS on Wii, but I don't quite see what would make the Wiimote so special for NiGHTS since you just moved in circles like you said. I guess using the Wiimote as a pencil or something to sketch circles would be kinda cooler.

I hope Rob Zombie does the music. "Dragula" is in a lot of games already. But it should be in EVERY game. Whatever the case, I hope they license some music to put in there. Licensed music is the way to go! Look at EA games. Ever notice how great EA is? They would never dream of hiring a musician. Even Sonic Wii tries to imitate licensed music by creating horrible, unlistenable music themselves.

It's not a "so called" magazine. It's a real magazine, and the only one I actually read. It's free too, and can even be downloaded in PDF form from their website. This particular issue will be out april 10th, and you can download it then to see for yourself.

I sincerely hope you're kidding. The original's amazing score by Fumie Kunatami, Tomoko Sasaki and Naofumi Hataya was AMAZING (My favorite track in the entire game: http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/627/14).
Here's hoping THEY do the soundtrack again.
And Seldane, man, go back to troll school...

For matter why u.s mags didn't even know about it.
I also wounder why, Sega them self's never made a official statement... about making a sequel to Nights.

Yeah, Yuji Naka isn't with Sonic Team any more so that would be a cause for concern.
Best of luck to sega trying to do it but it's wait and see for me.

I don't think it's too big of a deal that Yuji Naka isn't on the team, he designed the first one and that's all the inspiration another team is going to need to make a sequel. Also I don't know what kind of stuff Yuji Naka has done lately, I hope he wasn't incharge of any of the modern Sonic games.

I know you've played a Sonic game recently, and the same principle applies here.
I'm not too optimistic about this NiGHTS sequel being any good.
Title: Re: NiGHTS sequel coming to Wii!
Post by: Keranu on March 29, 2007, 05:15:01 PM
But once again, I think NiGHTS has a much better chance of getting a good game since it has not gotten any sequels before and is not whored out like Sonic is. Also a NiGHTS sequel would definitely be targeted more toward a "hardcore gaming base", rather than Sonic which is designed for money and kids. Of course I think it could easily be screwed over too, but I wouldn't compare it to recent Sonic games.
Title: Re: NiGHTS sequel coming to Wii!
Post by: Kitsunexus on March 30, 2007, 04:10:44 AM
Wha makes you think that because a game hasn't had a sequel, that it won't be whored out? What about all those whored-out retro remake games that suck, like Sinistar Unleashed? Sinistar was a great game, never had a sequel. Then they made the shit Sinistar Unleashed.
So I don't think you thought your cunning plan all the way through.

Post by: Necromancer on March 30, 2007, 05:15:24 AM
Keranu's correct: NiGHTS has a better chance (not a guarantee) of being good since it will be the first sequel. I don't think that NiGHTS will sell well simply because it is NiGHTS, unlike Mario or Sonic. NiGHTS is not that well known with younger gamers and more casual gamers, so Sega will need solid game play to attract a wide audience. Of course, Sega can intend to do a quality sequel, but intentions and reality don't always coincide.

Sinistar Unleashed has fancy updated 3d graphics with faithful action, sound, and story. It's buggy, but it ain't 'shit'.

It's driving me insane, the more I read and see of this game (and revisit the old one) the more I think it's going to be the greatest game ever, at the same time I'm almost near;y choking myself to keep a grip on the reality that it's being made by the director of "Shadow The Hedgehog" and that this game has a HIGH probability of being dog shit and crushing my memories.
Yeah I guess I'm going emo for NiGHTS. :roll: :lol:
There's also the realization that the first NiGHTS was AMAZING, and that in all honesty, no matter how good the sequel can be, it will probably never be AS good. :(
Let's hope they include the first game on a second disc. And no matter what anyone says, I don't think NiGHTS has aged that badly, sure it looks crappy in screenshots, but running on a REAL Saturn, it still looks great.

This isn't Shadow the Hedgehog, this is NiGHTS. This is geared at a completely different audience and isn't based off a huge gaming icon :) . I wouldn't be so worried about it, it's just a video game ;) .

But, to me, it is:
1. Memories of a better time in my life 2. A fantasy world that resonates with me profundly 3. A legacy of gaming that deserves respect, both as a milestone (the first game to use the analog stick (suck it Mario!), and a game that was arguably responsible for most of the Saturn's sales).
So to me, it's more than a game, and it's something to be worried about the success of.

Well since this game already exists, you have nothing to worry about :D . If NiGHTS 2 sucks, so what? You still have the original to play that can relive all your fond memories.

More NiGHTS information (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/02/nights-journey-of-dreams-confirmed-for-wii-this-winter/) . Looks like it's going to be called NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams and confirmed for a winter Wii release. I think Journey of Dreams is a pretty decent title name for a sequel, though maybe a little cheesy.

Have you tried Thunder Force One? I've always wondered if its any good.
Although I can see how most people would consider the sequels to Shinobi to be better than the original, I don't consider them real sequels(to Shinobi One, not each other), since they're so different from original the Rolling Thunder'esque gameplay.
I think you mentioned in another thread that you prefer the first SMS Fantasy Zone to the sequel. But FZ2 is my favorite, although I haven't really tried Super' and haven't played enough of the Game Gear game.
I think Keranu was talking about direct sequels though... which still doesn't change the fact that sometimes developers don't get a game right until they've ripped off millions of 'fans' with a few experiments (I'm still waiting for the first good game from many hit series).
Virtua Fighter 2 is a great example. Its still my favorite VF game.
Wrath of Khan is an easy one, since the original wasn't very good in the first place and there's no 'magic' to try to beat.

Although Duke Nukem 3D is a better game than the side scrollers, its like comparing Mario Kart to SMB. [/QUOTE]I gotta disagree, I thought the original run n' gunning Duke Nukem games were good already. 3-D was good too, but like you said, it's not so comparable to the originals.

I just think that if I was forced to compare them fun-wise, I'd probably go for '3D.
A proper sequel that could improve on the 2D games, would be cool if it was "Legacy of the Clash at Olympanadu" 'ish.
I'd just say more like NES Rambo, but most people don't get that game and too many people only respond positively if you use one of those retard mash ups of the few 'that type of game' games that we're told are okay to like.

All the Dukes had good gameplay, albeit in different styles.
Duke Nukem 3-D though, had personality, humor, great technology for the time, and the most intuitive editor for any FPS ever.

Duke Nukem's quite entertaining in all his forms. The much anticipated release date for Duke Nukem Forever has been set..... August 12, 2032. :^o Has any other game been f*cked around as much as DNF? It's been ten years since it was announced, and still no solid info. on where the project is going. Sadly, I quit caring a few years back and won't buy it unless it's phenomenal (if it actually does get released). I hope that Sega doesn't pull this type of shit with NiGHTS. I'd rather see a mediocre sequel than get jerked around for a few years. <-- Hey look, I found the topic again!

Tengai Makyou III took a good ten years to get released and was cancelled on at least 3 different consoles.

New NiGHTS interview. (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=162369&site=ngm)
Though not a whole lot of new info, but it's sounding like a very promising game. Like I mentioned before in my debates, it definitely sounds like this sequel is more towards the NiGHTS fanbase rather than a crappy sellout sequel like for Sonic. The option between the classic controls + new controls sounds like a good idea.

According to nightsintodreams.com (the creepiest fansite ever) they are making a remake of the original game for PS2, as a Sega Ages thing. Unfortunately, it's still only for release in Japan, and until that changes, SEGA is still dead to me.

Ya dude, sega has really screwed us on the ps2 releases. I'm still upset over it. There is a local import store that sells them for $30 and up each. That is a bit much since you know that they would probably be 19.99 if released here. Plus I have to use that bastard slide card :x

bump! :) Well I was at the local import game store today and I saw the jdm Nights for wii there for $65. I would've grabbed it, but, well, I don't own a wii, haha.

Smart move, especially since it is available for $50 in the US right now (and worth much, much less).

After seeing the way the kids (and other people) look, I really don't want it at all.
I REALLY REALLY WANT the SEGA AGES PS2 remake, though.

Why would the way "kids" look effect the game? Are you a big fan of the ground parts of NiGHTS? :mrgreen:

The button layout on the GC controller is pretty bad, but the analog stick is the best (not the yellow one).
the analog stick rocked, but i always felt the d-pad was patheticly small.

Playing Nights 2 currently.
Man the graphics are totally weird!
Sometimes it looks like pre-dreamcast graphics and then it looks amazing in game. I would compare the special effects in game to Panzer Dragoon Orta.
So far got through the first stage, pretty excellent, a little too much storyline for my taste, but the gameplay is VERY faithful to the original.

Man, everything turboStar said applies to me! My bro bought the game for Christmas, mixed graphics, only played through first level, story line is too damn long and unskippable, and gameplay is very true to the original (I also love how faithful the sound effects and music are, even a lot of the graphics). Look forward to playing more of it as well as Mario Galaxy.
