NiGHTS sequel coming to Wii!

[CrackTiger]

Well since this game already exists, you have nothing to worry about . If NiGHTS 2 sucks, so what? You still have the original to play that can relive all your fond memories.

Try telling that to people that wind up hating rehashers like Capcom. 

[Keranu]

Hey I've never liked Capcom! New or old .

Seriously though, your 'since the original already exists, you have nothing to worry about' philosophy is how I approach sequals, remakes, etc of any kind. 

Which is why I can live with an adult Valis game existing.

[Kitsunexus]

2000-era Capcom = SHIT.


And Journey Of Dreams is an alright title by me. Just don't make the MUSIC sound like Journey.

[TR0N]

2000-era Capcom = SHIT.

Only shit i've find in capcom is they gave up on 2d fighters.

I've like there games from old to new.

[Kitsunexus]

I DESPISED RE4.

I love RE4 it's so easy a caveman can do it.

LMFAO, that caveman looks like my neighbor.

[Kitsunexus]

Actually, that caveman looks like the horrible HORRIBLE trance DJ Paul Oakenfold AND Jack Black. See thread for details

I'd also say Jesus, but I don't know what the majority religion is on this board, so I'll hold my tongue.

Sounds like some one woke up on the wrong side of the rock.

[Kitsunexus]

I've seen the commercials and love them. However he still looks like the people I've mentioned.

Same here, the hentai Valis game isn't going to alter my opinion on the previous games. I think one important game to me is the original Sonic the Hedgehog game. That game holds special nostalgia to me and is one of my all time favorites. Even though there are a lot of craptastic Sonic games now, it doesn't change my feelings towards the original game one bit. Of course there are times where a sequel can prove to be even better (though I am having a hard time thinking of one at the moment, but I assure it's possible!).

[Kitsunexus]

The hentai Valis game is offical? Why don't they do this with more games?

StarFox...

Have you seen screenshots of that Valis porn game?  The amount of disgusting fetishes it has in the game is staggering.

Like I said in that other thread, it still gives me nightmares.  Thanks, Hyperguy!

No, that's just exploratory freedom.

Ahh, great examples.

[Joe Redifer]

Here are awesome examples of where the sequels are better than the originals.

-Thunder Force 2 (they just kept getting better and better)
-Revenge of Shinobi (most people prefer it over the original Shinobi)
-Shinobi III (ditto)
-Super Fantasy Zone
-Castlevania 3 (I pretend that part 2 does not exist)
-Super Hang-On
-Virtua Fighter 2
-Super Mario Bros 2 (US version, I do not enjoy the original SMB)
-Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Have you tried Thunder Force One? I've always wondered if its any good.

Although I can see how most people would consider the sequels to Shinobi to be better than the original, I don't consider them real sequels(to Shinobi One, not each other), since they're so different from original the Rolling Thunder'esque gameplay.

I think you mentioned in another thread that you prefer the first SMS Fantasy Zone to the sequel. But FZ2 is my favorite, although I haven't really tried Super' and haven't played enough of the Game Gear game.

I think Keranu was talking about direct sequels though... which still doesn't change the fact that sometimes developers don't get a game right until they've ripped off millions of 'fans' with a few experiments (I'm still waiting for the first good game from many hit series).

Virtua Fighter 2 is a great example. Its still my favorite VF game.

Wrath of Khan is an easy one, since the original wasn't very good in the first place and there's no 'magic' to try to beat.

GTA III, Duke Nukem 3-D, Super Smash Bros. Melee...

Although Duke Nukem 3D is a better game than the side scrollers, its like comparing Mario Kart to SMB.

Yeah I was mostly referring to direct sequels, but it's ok.

I gotta disagree, I thought the original run n' gunning Duke Nukem games were good already. 3-D was good too, but like you said, it's not so comparable to the originals.

From what little I've played and seen others play of the good ole 2D'ers, I don't think they're bad at all. I just think that if I was forced to compare them fun-wise, I'd probably go for '3D.

A proper sequel that could improve on the 2D games, would be cool if it was "Legacy of the Clash at Olympanadu" 'ish.

I'd just say more like NES Rambo, but most people don't get that game and too many people only respond positively if you use one of those retard mash ups of the few 'that type of game' games that we're told are okay to like.

[Kitsunexus]

All the Dukes had good gameplay, albeit in different styles.

Duke Nukem 3-D though, had personality, humor, great technology for the time, and the most intuitive editor for any FPS ever.

[GUTS]

NES Rambo had really good art.

[NecroPhile]

Duke Nukem's quite entertaining in all his forms.  The much anticipated release date for Duke Nukem Forever has been set..... August 12, 2032. 
Has any other game been fucked around as much as DNF?  It's been ten years since it was announced, and still no solid info. on where the project is going.  Sadly, I quit caring a few years back and won't buy it unless it's phenomenal (if it actually does get released).  I hope that Sega doesn't pull this type of shit with NiGHTS.  I'd rather see a mediocre sequel than get jerked around for a few years.  <-- Hey look, I found the topic again!

Tengai Makyou III took a good ten years to get released and was cancelled on at least 3 different consoles.

New NiGHTS interview.

Though not a whole lot of new info, but it's sounding like a very promising game. Like I mentioned before in my debates, it definitely sounds like this sequel is more towards the NiGHTS fanbase rather than a crappy sellout sequel like for Sonic. The option between the classic controls + new controls sounds like a good idea.

[Keranu]

New NiGHTS screenshots.

[Turbo D]

Bump! There is an add in the new Nintendo Power this month advertising the upcoming wii Nights 

[Kitsunexus]

According to nightsintodreams.com (the creepiest fansite ever) they are making a remake of the original game for PS2, as a Sega Ages thing. Unfortunately, it's still only for release in Japan, and until that changes, SEGA is still dead to me.

[Turbo D]

Ya dude, sega has really screwed us on the ps2 releases. I'm still upset over it. There is a local import store that sells them for $30 and up each. That is a bit much since you know that they would probably be 19.99 if released here. Plus I have to use that bastard slide card 

[Turbo D]

bump!  Well I was at the local import game store today and I saw the jdm Nights for wii there for $65. I would've grabbed it, but, well, I don't own a wii, haha.

[Joe Redifer]

Smart move, especially since it is available for $50 in the US right now (and worth much, much less).

[Kitsunexus]

After seeing the way the kids (and other people) look, I really don't want it at all.

I REALLY REALLY WANT the SEGA AGES PS2 remake, though.

[Keranu]

Why would the way "kids" look effect the game? Are you a big fan of the ground parts of NiGHTS? 

[Kitsunexus]

Nah, it just shows the whole art style as being kinda creepy. Kinda sorta Uncanny Valley.

I don't think the game will play all that well either.

[JoshTurboTrollX]

Well I got the game 'for my kids' lol, so when the little angels open it tomorrow morning (christmas) I will chime in.


Hopefully its faithful to the original, from what I've read from others, it should be an excellent game.

I'm kinda wishing I had a wii now. I was a big nights fan in the saturn days!

I have a suspecious feeling that my brother bought it for all of us nerds in the family to play too.

[Joe Redifer]

Be sure to use the Gamecube controller and not the Wii Remote.

[JoshTurboTrollX]

I personally hate the GCN cantroller!!

What's wrong with gc controller don't like the button layout or some thing ?

[Joe Redifer]

The button layout on the GC controller is pretty bad, but the analog stick is the best (not the yellow one).

[JoshTurboTrollX]

I don't like the button layout.  Its odd.

One little period red button next to a GIANT Green one with little lima beans around them?   


Its a terrible pad.  I can get used to it, as I do enjoy many many GC titles.  But the layout was terrible!

I figure as much granted i feel it is too arkward for it's own good.

Still i've gotten use to it pretty much i use (Wavebird) a good deal,on the cube or playing games through the vc with it.

the analog stick rocked, but i always felt the d-pad was patheticly small.

[JoshTurboTrollX]

Playing Nights 2 currently.

Man the graphics are totally weird!

Sometimes it looks like pre-dreamcast graphics and then it looks amazing in game.  I would compare the special effects in game to Panzer Dragoon Orta.

So far got through the first stage, pretty excellent, a little too much storyline for my taste, but the gameplay is VERY faithful to the original.
