Confirmed? NiGHTS to appear on the Wii photo

Back in March 06, Famitsu noted that "A Game creator who recently went solo is developing a [Wii] action game featuring an evil-spirit that looks like a pierrot clown flying through the air.”, which doesn't exactly leave a heck of a lot suspects. The NiGHTS appears to have been further confirmed by SPOnG, who noted this:

Speaking to representatives close to the project, we were told in no uncertain terms that a new NiGHTS game is about to be uncovered. NiGHTS will launch exclusively for the Nintendo Wii platform.

“Yes, there is a new NiGHTS coming, and coming quite soon actually,” we were told today by a representative close to the project who agreed to speak with us under terms of strict anonymity. “It's a full game too, not a rehash of old NiGHTS for Virtual Console as some have said it might be lately. It's a whole new game.”

Many would agree that NiGHTS was a fantastic game that defined the Saturn, and many more will say they'd seen it around but never played it because they never had access to a console it ran on.  We wouldn't be surprised if we see the NiGHTS Into Dreams pop up on the Virtual Console, too. I know one guy who's jumping up and down right now -- Racketboy called Nights the #1 game franchise that needs a sequel.

Interestingly enough, SEGA isn't developing the game. Sonic's not looking so hot lately, so I'm somewhat uncomfortably happy to hear that.

We were just talking about this in the forums. I think it's a pretty sweet idea. I was one of those who played only a little of it, but I enjoyed what I did play and wanted to play more. By the time I had enough scratch the Saturn was on it's way out.

If it's as good as it's predecessor I'd at least rent it if not buy.

YES! I played Nights for the first time about a month ago and I loved it. I'm all for this.

A news story with SponG as the confirming source? Uh oh.

@ subnet6:

Exactly. SPOnG is notorious for starting bullshit rumors to get hits. I don't even know why they're still taken seriously by anyone. I'll wait until a real site confirms it as true before I get my hopes up.

I loved my Saturn and Nights was one of the reasons for it. The gameplay was fun and there was some beautiful animations... for its time in it.

There was also a comic book... never read it...but it was there.

A nights game gives me some more reassurance on my purchase of the wii. I just hope they dont ruin it...

The SINGLE reason to have pwned a Saturn (the pun was intended).

I loved Nights when it came out, it was one of the reasons I owned a Saturn. I wished and wished it came out on the Dreamcast and after that I wished and wished it would come out one day on anything.

But now over 10 years later, I don't care. Why? Because I'm 10 years older now!

Note: If you played Nights in college then you're in your 30's now.

Reminder: This makes you an adult nerd. No offense.

This story was over at Kotaku yesterday. It seems for the first time this whole NiGHTS 2 business could be kosher.

If so, I will have a massive ejaculation of love.

I still play NiGHTS to this day. A true gem of a game. :D

I don't trust Spong either, but considering Spong and LiveNintendo were not the first to report this, I'm pretty sure this story can be trusted.

Anyway, fantastic news! I'm interested to see how it'll play, and whether or not you need just a Wiimote, or a Nunchuck, too.:D

@Lethal Dosage

As far as I know, Spong is the first site that claimed they had "sources" who were "confirming" Nights on the Wii.

We don't have to wait much longer for official word of what exactly that star cluster form ONM represents. I don't trust Spong at all, and they're notorious for just making shit up. This time, I sense they're taking a risk on Nights being officially announced. If it is, then they look like gold. If its not, then they'll once again look like frauds.

NiGHTS was a great game and I would love playing it again on the Wii on VC or a new game altogether. We'll see if the rumor is true though before I start getting my hopes up.

yay, it would make perfect sense if it does come out on the wii. With the controls and all. Maybe they were just waiting for a console like this to come along. This would definetly be a must buy title.

That article is shit old. They call it the Revolution ffs.

I won't be surprised though if it does happen. NiGHTS plus the Wiimote go hand in hand to me.

I am soooo relieved SEGA won't develop it. They have a tendency of crapping on all things that made them great lately...
