Last month, NGamer said they were previewing Mario Galaxy (which they didn't, and I think apologised for) but when the previewed it, they did so with a picture of Mario. They also have Galaxy down to be in the next issue at the bottom of that preview for the next issue.

The SS games on GameTap are the PC ports Sega did back in the day, though. They aren't really Saturn games running on PC or anything.
I'm going to just come out and say that unless Sega's finally worked on the problem themselves in a meaningful way, I don't think the Wii has the power under the hood to emulate Saturn to the extent needed for a retail product.
I would love to eat those words though.

Copyright infringement may occur when a copyrighted work is copied by another without the copyright owner's permission. Copying does not need to be a direct word-for-word copy of the work. It can also occur when the author of the allegedly infringing work had access to the copyrighted original, and the allegedly infringing work is substantially similar to the original. Once copyright infringement is established, the owner of the copyrighted work can obtain an injunction against the infringer to prevent further copying and also obtain damages to compensate him or her for the copying.
United States copyright law has long recognized that some copyright infringement acts are defensible as fair use. That is, under certain circumstances, copyright infringement is permitted without liability. The scope and limits of the fair-use doctrine have been codified in section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act. This section does not directly define fair use; instead, it lists four factors to be considered in making the determination of whether copying the work is fair. These four factors are:
*The purpose and character of the use.
*The nature of the copyrighted work.
*The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole.
*The effect of the use upon the potential market or value of the copyrighted work.
:lol

Well, NiGHTS did cameo on that Eyetoy PS2 Sega Heroes game or whatever it was called. Plus they remade stuff like Golden Axe in 3D on PS2 recently.

Yes BUT... what if the Starfox game is actually good like the first two? Hm? Hm? Not that I'm implying that I think it will be (Starfox has went down the road of Sonic the Hedgehog where new, lame characters and the failure to understand what makes Starfox WORK is prevalent) but miracles have happened.

What is Startropics? Sounds like a lame shooter like Parodius/Graduis. :-/

There's something wrong with the title. If it IS NiGHTS, they're fine. And that's good. But what if it is NiGHTS for Virtual Console? Hmmm? How about... if that, the entirety of Future gets banned. AND YOU DON'T WANT TO GET EDGE BANNED, DO YOU?!
You know, I've seen that teaser image going on two days now, and until I saw this thread, I didn't put two and two together and realize that this was ONM. The same ONM that pulled the Batallion Wars shit. The same ONM that pulled the Resident Evil shit. That teaser image LOOKS like a NiGHTS game, and once again ONM is hyping up a "big exclusive" within their magazine. Twilight Rockstar is on here doing preemptive damage control, strangely enough. I haven't said anything about this yet because it's seemed pointless since everybody knows about their bullshit already, but I'm hoping that Twilight Rockstar reads this:
Your "magazine" should be banned from GAF already. It's some kind of unholy heathen god miracle that it hasn't been astericked out by now. Frankly, I don't care if it IS NiGHTS at this point. Your magazine is using the shadiest of the shady techniques of getting people to buy it, no matter what the cost to your reputation is. In fact, with the other huge letdowns, I'm not an expert, but I'd say that there's some pretty decent cases for false advertising claims. Even if I'm just being silly with thinking that could happen, you should be embarassed by these things happening. I find it ironic that the GAF terms of service don't allow me to post scans of your magazine. It's not like it was worth anything to begin with.

In recent memory, they've revived Altered Beast, Golden Axe, After Burner, OutRun, and probably others that are escaping me at the moment.
I just hope there are enough original NiGHTS staff left at Sega to make it worthwhile.
I dunno, if I'm claiming "WORLD EXCLUSIVE" and then "it's this smaller little bit in the magazine," I'd feel a little conflicted.
If SEGA gave this magazine the story, I can't see why they'd pull it back like this. But...I don't work in publishing, so whatever.
It's probably Electric Boogaloo 3.

Hm... I don't see why he would make this up... meh. Really, I can't imagine how Sega couldn't atleast be planning on developing a NiGHTS sequel at this point...

Ugh, Twilight Rockstar. "Not a big feature?"
This either means:
1.) Nintendo's stock thingy will end, they'll announce some shit.
2.) ONM being its usual self.

Startropics is the NES version of NIGHTS - pure awesome and fun in a little cartridge of joy.

Or 3) Another even BIGGER game will be announced in a multipage feature, which by its awesomeness reduces the NIGHTS announcement to a mere sidenote.
Well, to add fuel to the fire, this was one of the interview answers from the Alien Syndrome team in Nintendo Power:
NP: What led to the decision to revive this particular franchise after such a long absence?
AA: Sega, right now, is reviving a lot of the old franchises. After Burner's coming out, Golden Axe, a few others I can't tell you about. Totally Games wanted to do something that was a shooter, arcade-style game, and this was the game that they came to us with. Going through a lot of iterations, the RPG aspect came up, and then when Totally Games found out about the Wii, they were totally excited about it. And here we are. It was the combination of a frnachise, a gameplay idea, and a console. They all work together.

Naja, klingt nicht übel. Mal gucken.
Anyway, ok, but why such a name? Startropics really sounds rather like a simple shoot´em up than a Action-RPG with a, supposely, good story?

Probably just a note in the Operating Guide you can access in the Home Menu. Failing that, editing text in an NES game isn't unheard of, Nintendo did it for the Zelda Collector's Disc to fix "Gannon" to "Ganon," change references to buttons in Ocarina of Time, etc.

So when do the new issues of both ONM and NGamer come out?
