April 1, 2007 - It took over a decade, but we're finally getting our Nights sequel! Following a report last week out of a European print publication (http://wii.ign.com/articles/776/776220p1.html), Sega Japan finally got around to properly announcing the sequel to the 1996 Sega Saturn classic. The game is tentatively titled Nights: Journey of Dreams and is set for Japanese Wii release this Winter.
Aside from the logo and single piece of artwork of the Nights main character, Sega has provided just a handful of details about the sequel. As with the original, players take control of Nights and attempt to save the strange world of Nightopia from the Nightmaren demons. The Wiimote is used to provide a better feeling of control. In addition to his characteristic loops and sudden rises and falls, Nights will have a number of new special skills.
In an official statement made to the Japanese press today, Nights: JoD producer and Sonic Team veteran Takashi Iizuka said, "In 1996, under the concept of 'a refreshing feeling of flight,' we created Nights, a character of the world of dreams who dances through the skies. Eleven years later, the long silence broken, Nights will soar through a new dream world. A new stage, a new story, and a new plaftorm, the Wii. Please look forward to the new adventure of Nights and friends."http://wii.ign.com/articles/777/777522p1.html
