NiGHTS Into Dreams Remake Now Official

Posted by Zonk on from the must-be-dreaming-need-to-wake-up dept.

The classic Sega Saturn title NiGHTS Into Dreams is finally, finally, getting a sequel. Joystiq reports on news at Famitsu, saying that a NiD sequel will be coming to the Wii this winter. "Takashi Izuka of Sonic Team USA is Producer of NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. He leaves Famitsu, and the rest of the weeping-with-tears-of-joy world, with this comment: 'In 1996, we created the NiGHTS character to achieve a concept of being refreshed from being able to fly in the sky. 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.'"

    Dude, seriously. If you won't read the article, at least read the summary:

    Why should he bother reading the summary. When the headline calls it a remake and the summary calls it a sequel, I have to wonder if even Zonk opted to read it.

    NiGHTS was an awesome idea and felt new because of the (analog) controller, it being on any other system would be cool, but definitely a cop-out in the control sense.
    The Wii will offer a potentially amazing new control method, and I'll buy it, but I think that NiGHTS would really shine on the DS. The stylus would work perfectly.

    Anyway, wonderful news. Hopefully it will live up to the original and sell well.
