New NiGHTS Sequel Confirmed!

It seems that NiGHTS for the Wii can officially be taken out of the rumor bag and into the confirmed bag. As you can see from the magazine cover, Swedish publication Game Reactor has an article in their April issue revealing NiGHTS and making sure to state that this is not an April Fool's Joke.

This game has stuck in my head for years and hopefully part 2 will live up to part 1! I don't know if bringing it to the Wii will serve this game right because of the system extremely poor limitations but I guess we will see!

"Extremely poor limitations" is a little harsh, don't u think? What exactly are these limitations that would hinder a NiGHTS sequel on the Wii? If you're referring to graphics, the artistic style of the original NiGHTS was never dependent upon photorealism. I think the Wii is more than capable of rendering the type of graphics that would suit a NiGHTS sequel, and that the artistic style of NiGHTS is actually a better fit for the console than either the PS3 or Xbox360. I'm more interested to see how a NiGHTS sequel would utilize the Wii's control scheme.

I just hope the game will be good. Games from Sega in the last few years are crap. So I hope this will not be a crappy game.

I wonder if there will be any chance the game will have online play and co-op play. If So I think that will be cool.

I really hate to burst your guys' bubbles, but let's remember that this is April, and an April issue. I wouldn't get my hopes up. (Considering that I want a new NiGHTS so bad, this hurts me too.) =(

Drew read the article - it states several times about how it is not a hoax. Then again, who knows what the truth is, Sega should take notice however for the demand for this game and franchise. Considering Sonic crashed and burned on the previous gen and current gen consoles (though I've yet to play the Secret Rings), Sega really needs to come up with something to make some cash.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆

Redgrave43d ago

Because it is.

Please re-release this.

SimpleSlave43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.

Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.

Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.

As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
