I never played the original NiGHTS, but I definitely want to try this new one out.

I'm glad some of these games with cult followings are coming to Wii. It makes be hopeful that if a sequel is made for Beyond Good and Evil, it will come to the Wii.

Also one of the greatest and underrated games ever made. I loved Beyond Good and Evil.

Do you have a Sega Saturn still? I highly recommend getting a modded Sega Saturn and getting hooked up with games. It's a great system.

Gah! I though you'd finally shut up about that.
Kidding, obviously. I want a sequel too.

This certainly looks interesting and I'll keep an eye one it. Any more then that I cannot promise.

Don't make me sticky this topic to prevent it from getting buried..

I swear I'll ban everyone that doesn't promise to buy it when it's released.

Skulkraken 25 Sep 2007, 08:28

I can't make a promise like that... (I don't own a Wii, and I don't have enough money to get one by the time that game comes out)

Can I at least promise to consider buying it?

I'm getting it, but only at chirstmastime, when I get my Wii.

Good enough for ya?

*goes to play SRB2 version of NiGHTS meanwhile.*

Seconded. All I needed was to watch the trailor, and it instantly snapped right into place as #2 in my "I vow upon my very soul not to put off getting this game" list, which only consists of two games. Brawl, and Nights. Metroid Prime 3 can wait until its first drop in price.

Nights will be an experience to bring tears to an old dreamer's eye.

... ... ...

... EDIT ... ...

Wow. I am apparently incredibly easily moved, as although this is indeed quite a bit of "Oh good good..." contained within the same five minute timespan, I have just risen to a new peak of awe.

It's being released on my birthday.

Too bad I have a math final on that day. Oh well. Easy stuff. I'll stop by at the GameStop on my way home to preorder it soon.

ShadowTiger 02 Nov 2007, 10:55

Aye; It's cool like Twilight Princess. Great for a once through; Maybe another; but then you've done it all. =/ Nights has online play, a sandbox mode, and you can fly. The flight alone is worth anyone's fancy. I predict myself playing it at least nightly, what with my bedside Wii station and all. I play from my bed. 😛 How appropriate.

...lol, ST.

:P That's pretty funny. I wish I had a TV in my room. Would really make my gaming easier. No more running up to my computer from the basement whenever I need an FAQ because I'm hopelessly stuck.

And dammit, they'd better still be selling this game when I get back from my Winter vacation (when I'm getting my Wii).

ShadowTiger 05 Nov 2007, 14:48

To be honest, I really didn't like hearing that it would be played "On a rail." Can it still be considered flying if you only have control out of a fraction of the total directions you can "fly" in? :shrug:

It's obviously a terrible thing to go into an idea with expectations higher than can be conceivably expected. :-/ I'm only now slightly more reluctant to get it due to the inherently high pricetag of newly released games.

"Sandbox" mode looks interesting though.

Holy crap, I can't even remember the last time I heard someone reference "timeline." Wow, that takes me back.

ShadowTiger 19 Dec 2007, 03:00

Today was the supposed release date. Didn't see any in stores, but I haven't really been keeping track of it at all.

A 7.0 is not that bad of a rating, and the average user rating so far on 1up is an 8.1.

Really, I don't look at the number much anymore (unless they're really low). I like reading reviews for details about the game that general descriptions/summaries just don't mention. It sounds like that game doesn't stray too far from the original's formula, which is good for the fans, but maybe bad for newcomers.

UPDATE: Eh...IGN's review was not too good 😞 they go into a lot more detail about the game.

Right, I was more talking more about the actual review. It's pretty negative.

Breaker 20 Dec 2007, 03:19

I bought it, but I haven't played it yet. I've been too caught up in Mass Effect. I'll reply with a little review later after I've had some time with it.

Breaker 20 Dec 2007, 05:15

I've played the game and it's awesome. The cutscenes and voices leave a lot to be desired, but once you get past that and into the actual game it rocks just as much as the first did. It's very fast paced and looks beautiful. Rent first if you're skeptical about picking this one up. It's a different kind of game than you're probably used to and not for everybody.
