Sega Confirms Wii NiGHTS For U.S. This Fall

Following a flurry of internet reports and speculation over the past week, Sega of America has confirmed the upcoming release of a new NiGHTS game for the Nintendo Wii, with an expected stateside release window this fall.

While little else is yet known about the title, known as NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, Sega has promised "a heightened sense of gliding, spiraling, and looping through seven mystical dream worlds," presumably featuring much of the same aerial platforming style gameplay exhibited by the original, now through the use of the Wii's motion sensitive controls.

According to a number of Japanese reports, the game is being created by SonicTeam USA, with Takashi Iizuka being charged with producing the highly anticipated follow up to the Sega Saturn clasic. Released in 1996, the original told a story of two children who enter a dream world in order to combat demons and prevent the real world from being overrun with the help of the jester-like flying acrobat NiGHTS.

"In 1996, we created the NiGHTS character to achieve a concept of 'being refreshed from being able to fly in the sky'," commented Izuka in a statement made to Japanese press. "11 years later, at last, we have broken our silence. NiGHTS will now fly in a new dream world: new stages, new story, and on the new Wii platform."

can't wait for this :)

but sonicteam's working on it, so i'm a little skeptical. i'm hoping for the best though.

it depends what sonic team they are mentioning there. AM8 The original staff lead by "YU2" or Sega's new guys who did STH for the PS3 and 360.

I'll be worrying about this games quality like crazy until it comes out. I just can't trust sega anymore. They need to get their act together. The 3 different mask concept (mentioned on ign) in particular is horrifying to me. It sounds too much like switching characters in sonic heroes. I detested that clunky game to no end. So any feature that I see resemble it makes me wish sega wasn't in charge of franchises I love. I can only hope that this turns out as good as the original and lacks the glitches, horrible camera, clunky horrible gameplay, poor poor poor production values, etc that have been the staple of sega games. Also, until they reveal the motion controls and prove that they aren't a horrible gimmick I will not be happy. Even if they are creative and great uses of the motion control I still have faith that sega will botch the implementation.

Ack, I sound like I hate sega. I really just want them to try harder and make great games again. As it is right now I kind of wish the gameplay was the same as on the saturn (the same evolutionary approach ssbb appears to be taking).

      Would be good to see Google also being forced to do the same. No promotion of Chrome on Google search. Stop installing into the app data of a locked down machine, etc

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough" by Usama Jawad We have seen Microsoft resort to questionable tactics in the past to get more customers to use Edge, such as "bribing" people to use Edge, testing new behavior so that Edge loads automatically on startup every time, and pressuring OEMs to exclusively bundle Edge in Windows PCs. However, the company often receives pushback not only from customers but also from the Browser Choice Alliance (BCA). Now, the collective has penned an open letter to the Redmond tech firm to highlight its dissatisfaction with its practices. For those unaware, BCA is a coalition that touts several browser vendors as its members, including Google Chrome, Midori, Opera, Vivaldi, BrowserWorks, and Wavebox. Its latest open letter to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella emphasizes that "enough is enough" and that user choice on Windows should be respected. It claimed that the company is abusing its dominant position in the PC space to push customers to its first-party browser, even if they don't want to use it. To do this, it resorts to shady tactics, some of which we highlighted at the start of this piece. It says that Microsoft is making it very difficult for users to set their preferred browser across all touchpoints. This is problematic as PCs are becoming even more prevalent in the AI era, so user choice is being restricted across even more devices, further frustrating users (and competing browser vendors). As such, BCA has urged Microsoft to take the following actions to level the playing field: Allow browser suppliers to compete for preinstallation and default deals with Windows PC manufacturers End dark patterns targeted at users seeking to download and effectively use other browsers (including as system-level default) Bring back the ability for users to make switching default browsers simple and transparent with a “single click” change for all relevant file types and apps (including PDFs) Open all web links in the users’ selected system-level browser of choice Eliminate manipulative Microsoft-exclusive banners pushing Edge in Windows, including when users are searching for other browsers Stop using operating system updates to push users back to Edge Remove the restrictive configurations of existing S mode devices that block the usage of third-party browsers. It believes that all browsers should compete on merit, as this will drive innovation and healthy competition. Despite its strong wording and publication of the letter openly, it's unclear if Microsoft will pay any heed to the BCA and if this will result in any tangible downstream benefits. We'll likely find out in due time.
