According to Official Nintendo Magazine, an old series is going to "make it's return"

Now, look at the box art for NiGHTS Into Dreams.

Put them together, and...

Perfect fit, isn't it? For once, I'm not just trying to freak everyone out with lies.

That IS strong evidence.
Wow.
I still don't know what the smurf NiGHTS is, but I'm very happy for you Blue Bear.
My Pink Platypus is so ignorant about classic games.Quote:

Heresy! The time doesn't matter, only the life counts *at this point we insert a Milla Jovovich nod from the 5th Element*, and CDs are not living organic beings. The good ol' tape-driven computers are... possibly!(especially if some stupid insect gets squashed in them, thus messing up the whole tape)Quote:

To me, this actually sucks, as I have no intention to get a Wii, and need more than one game to justify the price (Snatcher 2 please!).
I also find it strange that it fits exactly with that specific boxart to the original game. As I don't remember that particular image being very wide-spread, and I don't think the European and American boxes even used that image.
But I guess the way they match up perfectly is hard to argue with.
Also, the state of the game has to be taken into consideration. Does Sega or Yuji Naka own the rights to the series. If Sega, is Sonic Team really fit to do this game justice at the moment?
EDIT: Also, when is the next issue going to be available?
If you say 'in a months time' I'm going to have to hit you.
Oh
snap.
I do believe I called it.
Hm. Hmm.
Please, Sonic Team, make this one not suck. It's your chance for redemption. Try to remember what the 90s were like.
Hmm i remember NiGHTS...do't see what the big deal is though...what make this game so classic that it tops the most wanted sequel lists and classic all time great lists so often? I mean wasnt it just a action game? Its not even an RPG yet it garners so acclaim...
I don't recall genre invalidating a game's status as "Absolute Manusing classic".Quote:

Since when are RPGs the only good kind of game?
You misunderstand what i'm saying is that puzzle games often lack longevity and story (just like FPS games lack character development) so what makes this one so special?
... Wow.Quote:

Another thing, a game doesn't need a good story to be awesome.
Yet another thing, a game has as much longevity as it has replay value (which good puzzle games have in spades, by the way). Would you say that Tetris isn't a classic game? How about Mega Man?
Personally i cant play a puzzle game for long enough to call it a "classic" if it doesnt have a good story or something that makes me determined to play...as for Tetris it sucks...always has, always will.
The only puzzle game ive ever spent any real time with to bust a move 2 (lol popping bubbles is just SO much fun...*sarcasm*) but thats only on 2 player...
Well that's your fault for having a crappy attention span.Quote:

Maybe this is that big surprise Sega was mentioning earlier. This is fantastic.
Thats the thing it isnt Sega anymore its Nintendo as they are the ones who bought Sonic team...
What?Quote:

I could of swore that I heard that Sega sold Sonic Team due to the resounding loss of money incurred from the "dreamcast incident"...
EDIT: I've done a little trawling on the net and i cant find anything on Sonic Team being sold...man i feel like an ass right now...

Everyone hold on a moment.
Before you get your hopes up, take a look at Mushroom Kingdom Hearts.
Different magazines, yes. But they are both the APRIL issue. This is potentially an April Fools joke.
Potentially.
Regardless, I wouldn't be worried about any 'traditional' game coming to the Wii. Wii has 'normal/traditional' controllers as well. I would definitely be concerned about the further burial of the Shenmue series though.
If it is an april fools joke it's a pretty smurfing sick one.
It does, because he's right and you're wrong. A game can be a classic because of a plethora of reasons. You not liking a few of those reason doesn't change anything. Tetris is a classic. Mario Bros is a classic. Neither of these have a particularly awesome story, and I personally find tetris lame as smurf. However, that doesn't change the fact that it's a classic.Quote:

Tetris is a great game if implemented properly and absolutely awesome if you don't have anything else to do. I mean, alone the title-midi is worth a fortune.:p
You do sound like an ass. Especially when everybody knows that your wrong, but your to busy arguing to notice. Quality puzzle games have longevity. Tetris, Lumines, Meteos. And sweeping generalizations about genres will get you nowhere in an argument.Quote:

I admit i'm wrong about the whole Sega thing but there is no need to throw it in my face like that, have some civility for god's sake! As for what you guys call "classic" i call a pointless and genuinely boring piece of software so get over it. Afterall not EVERYONE in the world is going to share the same opinion as you and you should respect that! You make it sound like im insulting your mother or something which really makes you look pathetic for caring so much about a game that's over a decade old.Quote:

Also, I really wanted to play NiGHTS back in the day. I hope this ends up being real so I can finally find out what the deal is.
I never said people are pathetic for liking game's that old i said people are pathetic for having ago at someone who doesnt like them. People who are obsessive over something as small and as old as Tetris needs their head examined.Quote:

Have you actually played it?
No i havnt played it i was just wondering (originally anyway) what the big fuss was about...
I dont think a game is bad for being old i just dont think people should be crazed and obsessively protective over a game that's time has passed!Quote:

Roto, I swear, if this turns out to be another one of your little, "LAWL SEE LOOK AT THE PICTURES OF NIGHTS AND PISS YOUR PANTS, CIMANIM" endeavors I'll find you.
FIND YOU!
find you
This is going to get you a warning. Do not speak to anyone in this manner.Quote:

Just play the smurfing game and you'll understand.
This is wondrous news or a very, very sick joke.
Agreed, and if it is a sick joke, I'll still hunt down Roto just for posting it, even though he wouldn't have known.
Joking about a new NiGHTS game is almost as bad as shouting 'fire' in a movie theater.
Everyone hold on a moment.

It's not a joke. Proceed with the hype.
They mention in the article that a source has told them that "NiGHTS Wii has been in development for six months already." There was a poll on Sega.com a week or so ago, asking which game/character users would like to see. NiGHTS won (Shenmue wasn't on the list). The 'source' said that the poll was to reassure Sega that their decision to work on a new NiGHTS would be well received.
I just hope they don't kill another good franchise.
*licks Cimanim*
>< OMG!
Thanks! :cD
Anyway, *in a voice that a child would use when scolded* I'm sorry for not believing you Roto.
