Trailer

Gameplay video thing

E3 demo has no music, and the boss battle looks about as fun as cancer. But aside from that! :] Hey this thread's a mess!

That game looks pretty standard graphics-wise but man... It's fucking NiGHTS~

It's also amazing how dull it feels without music. I'm still stoked about this and really wanna get a Wii because of games like this. I still miss the original BADLY and I've been jonesin' for a sequel for well over 10 years so I definitely want to play this game if ever there's a demo available; WITH MUSIC, THIS TIME.

Is it just me or do the links both bring up nothing? I went and searched youtube and found two other links, so I'm not sure if these are the same as what is (was?) on Gamespot's page:

Looks fairly good so far

I guess this would be more exciting if I had some idea of what it is you DO in Nights. I hear an awful lot about how good the original game was, but I'm pretty well mystified about what the game was actually about. I guess you fly around and pass through rings or something?

My cousin had the original on Saturn and I remember playing it once and not getting it. I must say that the narrator in the video Kaelin put the link could start quite the cult. His voice is hypnotizing, its nuts! The levels do look very open and the game looks light hearted and fun, could be a rather relaxing game to play

Famitsu review showed up.

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams (Sega) - 8, 7, 7, 7 - (29/40)

Ouch.

Probably mostly due to the game being short and there seems like there's a lot of recycled material from the original, cept higher res. Like that fat boss that rolls areound, he was in the original.

Or at least I'm hoping that's all it was cause that's what I'm prepaired and expecting to happen. Hopefully there's no performance issues or something.

Pretty excited. New title keeps the aesthetics and charm of NiGHTS into Dreams. Some good music in them there videos, too. Only problem is that it looks a little slow, but that could be blamed on how far zoomed out the camera is compared to the first game.

Honestly, I'm not that surprised. When the original came out, only Saturn/Sega magazines praised it, multiformat mags pretty much trashed the game with "pretty but very basic and repetitive".

Also Famisu doens't strike me as the be-all end all, I meen sure, FF 12 is good, but perfect 40 good?

No one got it.

Will probably be a redux of 1996 all over again.

Aren't the best game simple and repetitive, though? I'd hit up Pac-Man over FF-whatever anyday.

"The Japanese version of NiGHTS for Wii has 6 languages to choose from, Japanese, English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian."

Time to find out if this is true.

Got it and played for a half hour. The Famitsu rating seems on-par thus far. I'd recommend renting this one first.

Considering I like RPGs and I played FF12 a good 20 minutes before deciding it was garbage... (well the story and battle engine couldn't grab my attention) and considering I'm playing this more than I've ever played FFXII... I have to disagree with Famitsu's ratings :P

Yes, but they almost always have some never-before-seen twist. Pong was simple too but it rocked cause there was nothing like it. Nights didnt bring anything new other then the "dreamlike" scenario, which quite honestly looked like a big pile of pixelated turd.

What other games were available where you fly around through hoops/collecting orbs as a purple transvestite in 1996?

I bought this game last week, really wish I hadn't though. Everything other then the graphics of this game are totally dated.

The fact that this game doesn't have checkpoints between stages is lame. And that it doesn't have checkpoints between the beginning of a stage and the Boss battle is what made me take it back to the store. I really wanted to like this game and I did when I started playing. But as soon as you have to actually play the game it all goes downhill from there.

I'm going to stick with my Saturn version and use my credit from this to get Zack and Wiki which is a killer title and the most underrated game of the year (consumer wise).
