Quantcast


New NiGHTS screens, courtesy of Famitsu photo

It's been a while since we last saw anything of the Wii's NiGHTS: Journey Of Dreams, and it's safe to say that back then things were certainly less than arousing in the visuals department. Well thanks to the omnipresent Famitsu it's time to check in again, as a couple of new scans have wound their way over here, after a brief fuel stop at JeuxFrance.

After the last set of shots turned out to be slightly less attractive than an amorous sumo with a body odour fetish, these new ones brought with them a huge stinking black cloud of trepidation, but the truth is, they don't actually look too bad. Some of the textures are still a little flat, and a few places could do with sanding down some sharp angles, but overall, things look noticeably better than they did in  May. There's still a way to go until the winter release, so cross everything feasible body part that Sega uses that time to keep on thrashing this one with the pretty-stick. 

[Thanks Dan

Sorry Epitaph. We got a few people sending this one in, so I had to go for the one that came in first. Thanks though. :)

Would love to be optimistic about this, but I just have no faith in Sega, theyve been terrible since around 2000.

I quite like the colour scheme and the tone, but the human characters are very forgettable.

I really wanted to play the original but I didn't have a Saturn ...hopefully this one lives up to it, but the way Sega has been making games I won't count on it

Every time I see new info on this, it makes me want to sell my Wii a little less. NiGHTS, and the promise of Neo-Geo on the VC are the only two things keeping me attached to it at this point.

Ok, those kids look freaky. As in porcelain doll come to life freaky.

NiGHTS looks like it's going to be at the very bottom of Uncanny Valley.

It looks like a dreamcast game, but hopefully it gets better!

Eh, I thought the original Nights was boring and uninteresting really. It's basically a flying game on rails where you have fly through hoops along the way. This game has no value to me, as I really couldn't see anyone interested in this game without having been a fan of the first one.

I would absolutely love it if they threw the original Saturn game on here as a bonus.

Agreed.

Original NiGHTS included would own. I've only placed it once and I didn't know what the hell I was doing but I still had a good time.

The most important factor is Yuji Naka isn't working on this. Thank fucking goodness. He might've ended giving NiGHTS a gun and have him swear every 5 minutes.
