That's why I thought we'd never see it again, although I guess Naka did produce and was the main programmer.

Is the new Naruto DS game like the first 3 sidescrolling games? I assume so since it's numbered 4, but what did they say about that game?

hmm.. i know more people that disliked or even hated the game than I knew that loved it..

for me, it was the reason I bought a Sega Saturn and still have it hooked up.

Would love it if they released a graphically upgraded NiGHTS 1 with Christmas NiGhts included *AND* the lost levels that were to be included in NiGHTS PC but was cancelled.. I think that would be a better game/package than a new nights, personally, but have confidence they'll be able to make a new nights, and make it good.

burning rangers rocked, would love eto have that on a virtual console too...

wha, wha, what?!

Probably that it's too much of a rehash.

A movie for those who never played it.

Huh. Never played NiGHTS, and that was the first time I actually watched any footage of it despite hearing the GAF splooge fest for it. Seems like a cool game... just watching that video I got a very ethereal, dream-like quality to the gameplay (which I guess fits considering the name of the game.) I'd check it out if it came out for Rev.

I always dug the way Pachinko machines and Pinball machines influenced Yuji Naka's design sensibilities. NiGHTS was alot of fun (totally dug the flying mechanic) so I will be looking forward to his Revolution adventures.

Exactly. There's no game like it.

I bought a Saturn for the first time a few years ago just to play NiGHTS. I'm glad I did. I'm very excited if this rumor is true, and I can only imagine the excitement of people who have been waiting, what, 10 years since the original?
 
i dont really have anything to add. i just keep feeling the urge to open this thread up over and over today. If a NiGHTS sequel actually came out, i hope for the best and expect the worst. :)/:(

Redeem yourself Sega!

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
I once played NiGHTS for about 20 seconds at a Blockbuster kiosk.

Ohshima also created Sonic, though Naka always gets credited.

Artoon is made up of mainly former Sonic Team and Team Andromeda staff... they have an amazing pedigree (Sonic CD, NiGHTS, Panzer Dragoon, Burning Rangers) which makes their crappy track record all the more baffling (BLiNX, Pinobee, Toshi Topsy-Turvy). Here's to hoping Blue Dragon breaks the trend.

I've heard Naruto 4 is kind of different, with being more missiony than the first three were.
It looked more like a JSS/SSB clone than the last games, which seemed to be more scrolling beat-em-ups.

Anyways, I think that Famitsu is one of the most trusted source in the WEB; so, probably, the development of a Nights sequel for Revolution is true.

It's not NiGHTS unless Tomoko Sasaki is on the project. I just beat Ristar and I thought the music sounded familiar. Same composer did both.
