True, but it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for an 'enhanced' remake to appear on the Wii later. Like Okami, the gameplay just seems very fitting for the Wii's motion sensing tech.

The PS2 is probably so that more people can see the game period, as its one of the most widely distributed systems to date, so there's a good chance someone who wants to check out the game will be able to. I don't know anyone who doesn't either Have a PS2, or at least has played one.

I think there might be one or two people on here though, but I'm not sure.

I'd wager it's more like Sony and Microsoft sneering at the idea of putting such an old game on a next gen system. "Looks like crap on HD!" or some nonsense like that.

Never expected Nights to be ported. My guess is Sega is trying to get more people in the Nights series because of the Wii game coming out. I'll certaintly import it if I can pick it up cheap enough.

I'm surprized that NiGHTS is getting any recognition from Sega at all. It was a bit of a cult hit, at least, that's what I've heard of it. But, now, not only is it getting a long awaited sequel, but also a port of the original? I just hope Sega doesn't mess it up.

Of course, getting excited about the port wouldn't matter much... If it's really part of the Sega Ages series, then it's doubtful it'll hit Stateside, at least, in that form. There's always the Virtual Console, though.

Of course they'll mess it up. Who do you think this is? Old Sega? It's new Sega, baby! There'll be a new exclusive level set in a warehouse or something, and flying is out, jeeps are in. Cruise dreams in style!

Don't forget the innovate new lock-on system for use with the 16 different varieties of guns that you can acquire now.

Christmas NiGHTS confirmed for inclusion on the PS2 remake.

Apparently the limited edition will include.. a picture book. Not really worth it, although it's only $10 more. :[

Bumping this to push NiGHTS 2 Journey of Sega's Rape off the planet. The official site's updated with things. Things and stuff. They'll also be including the original untouched Saturn NiGHTS on the disc. Just because, I guess. COMPARISON TIME.













They removed all the polygons from Claris' skyscraper forehead and put them into her chest. Emotion Engine, 1999, so forth.

Well, from those screenshots, it looks like the game's already almost all in English, so even if it doesn't get confirmed for the US or Europe (or Australia, Infernal), we can always import/download it.

Being as I had the Japanese import, there were no Japanese characters in it, so Im sure the game will be all in english no problem. The Screenshots look great though, and as long as the music stays intact and/or sounds better...I think i'll be all set there. It comes out in Feb. right?

The Wii version is a sequel, the PS2 version is a remake, you realize this, right?

Well, the original version was also completely in english, except for speech and minor crap like that nobody cares about.

Now that I think about it, is the storyline actually explained in-game?

Yay! I have Christmas Nights, and it's a very cool part of the game. I don't really think of it as a separate game, more like an... expansion pack, or something.

I don't see how I could be any more happy.

Unless this game is just coded so badly it is unplayable, this is amazing, incredible news, and the decisions they are making along the way are all the right ones. I just can't wait to get my hands on this game!!

Why is there no emoticon for :nerdgasm:.

You said you "had the Japanese import". This game isn't out yet and the only Japanese import of NiGHTS which is in English is the Wii version so you were obviously talking about it.

Anyway, I'll wind up importing this if it's good. I'll wait for reviews though. The NiGHTS for Wii is just average.

He might mean the Japanese Saturn version, Lix.

That might be possible. I don't know whether or not the Japanese Saturn version of NiGHTS was in English or not though. It probably doesn't matter regardless, I mean it isn't as if this game has any text past menus and introduction screens.
