Oct 1, 2007 We'll admit we were more than a little excited when it came to our hands-on with NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. After all, we've only been waiting eleven years for it, since the original came out in 1996. "Do you want to watch the intro sequence?" asked the Sega rep. "Yes, please." The game revolves around two children - Helen and Will. The CG sequences are very high quality, looking like something out of a Kingdom Hearts game. Will is a football fan, but his dreams are haunted by the ... » Read More

"Bizarrely, tellingly and somewhat amusingly, the Tokyo Game Show demo of NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams makes no use of motion controls whatsoever. The analog stick on the nunchuck controls movement, the A-button speeds you up and.... well, that's pretty much it."

Sept 17 2007 NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, the motion-sensitive Sega dreamworld adventure, will feature a two-player mode and online play from the day it hits shelves. It'll also revive the Artificial Life system, last seen in the original NiGHTS on Sega Saturn, enabling you to capture, raise and combine creatures. Our Sega-obsessed staffer reckons that NiGHTS would work best in two-player as a score-hunting race through the game's many levels. As opposed to, say, the face-off multiplayer in the ... » Read More

Sega announced today that their upcoming cult-revival NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams will feature a two-player mode and online support. Though neither has been outlined in detail yet, the combination of announcements would seem to indicate that the two-player mode will be online.

September 7, 2007 Sadly for gamers with Xbox 360 and PS3 shooter The Club on their Christmas lists, the game has slipped to early 2008, Sega confirmed today. We must admit, when we last saw the game in action it didn't look very near to completion (although that was a few months ago). Still, 2007 is already looking like having the most expensive tail-end of any year ever with so many great games coming out, so this will at least give us a chance to fill our pockets again before The Club opens ... » Read More

Yes, despite the awful Disney-style voiceover. Check it out here.

Wednesday 4 July 2007 GamesRadar forumites have unearthed a scan from a Japanese magazine which gives more clues as to the plot of the new NiGHTS game, Journey of Dreams, headed to Wii later this year. From the scan (which is almost entirely in Japanese), it appears one of the two children to feature in the game is called Helen Cartwright - a girl with an obvious love of music. She can be seen playing her violin with an older girl in a still from a cutscene and can also be seen sleeping with ... » Read More

Takashi Iizuka, a designer for the original 1996 NiGHTS, and designer of the upcoming Wii sequel NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, is about as interested in things like "motion control" and "gameplay elements" as he is in "Carl Jung" and "archetypes." Earlier today we relived our introductory psychology classes as he discussed the game's inspiration, which, if you hadn't guessed, is the world of dreams. His goal is to give us the feeling that we're flying, and to amplify our personal dream ... » Read More

New screens of NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams have emerged, showing the little jester's Wii outing to be every bit as dream-like as his Saturn outing some 11 years ago. Check out the screens through the Images tab above. The screens show NiGHTS paralooping through a water-themed level with the classic floor/ceiling floor weirdness of the original in full effect. We like the way the fish and bubbles seem to be flying in the air and not in the water - anything can happen in a dream, right? Only last ... » Read More

Yesterday we brought you the first screens of NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams - today we've got a slew of new info that sheds new light on this ethereal sequel. For the full scoop, head over to site-in-arms CVG. Most of these tidbits reference the classic Saturn prequel, so if you're new to this whole NiGHTS thing just bear with us. First, there are three mask power-ups that give the eponymous NiGHTS new abilities. Cramming a dragon mask over that fluffy jester hat, for example, imbues him with ... » Read More

We've been waiting a good 11 years for any NiGHTS info at all, so it's easy to consider 2007 a pretty fulfilling year so far. First were the rumors that gender neutral jester extraordinaire Nights was coming to Wii. Then kinda-sorta confirmation appeared in magazines across Europe, and finally a full disclosure earlier this month. And now, after sifting through magazines trying to find screens to gawk at, we have the first wave of images ready for your perusal. Just hit the Images tab above to ... » Read More

We've been speaking to the man in charge of NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, Takeshi Iizuka and, while he's still keeping his cards held firmly to his chest, he has let slip a few interesting titbits. Firstly, Iizuka explained how Sega is going for the nostalgic appeal with NiGHTS on Wii. It will "keep the game concept fundamentally the same as the original so that it would be a reminiscent return to their past NiGHTS experience." Unlike the original game, which he said, occasionally, wasn't very ... » Read More
