That being said, it does look a hell of a lot better, and now, for the first time, I am actually a little excited for it.
Seriously, I know this game has awesome lineage, so I can't wait.
SEGA just butchered the trailer is all.
Of course there is the fact I usually poopoo on most Wii games just because they are on the Wii, so maybe that is what it is holding my excitement back for this game... /shrug, then again maybe not since I bought a Wii a month ago.
Wow.
The game looks good, practicly a straight remake of the original, which for those that don't know is a non-exploring, 2D with 3D graphics game that was all about skills.
I played the free Christmas Nights game for probably +20 hours just to unlock all the stuff. Even though it only had one level and two boss fights, it didn't get old because there was always a way to try to beat a level a little bit faster, with a little bit more stuff collected.
If you can spend hours trying to beat your fastest time K.O.'ing Gabby Jay in Super Punch Out, or will replay a level in a good Sonic game just to try to beat it with out losing any rings, then this game is for you.
This though is a slight graphical improvement with a bland watered down version of a game that has had it's edge knocked out of it through a medicore design team - think Mariokart 64 compared to the Super Famicom classic.
"It has been said before, but the visuals aren't a huge leap over the original Sega Saturn version"
I hope that was a joke... similer in style yes but it looks way better than a saturn game :/
that fuckin voice over though, how does that sort of thing get past its first audience? i mean. for fucks sake.
Say, the voice of Richter Belmont from SotN, perhaps.
Well any-who, I guess my not being familiar with the original resulted in my rather lukewarm attitude toward the new NiGHTS... I mean, it looks fun, but is it really all THAT great?
Actually, that would be kinda awesome. And check out Justice's blog for a gameplay trailer, good looking stuff.
I guess to appeal to the modern hardcore audience, they could have added some decapitations, a cover system, and made it a free-roaming crime sim.
