I have just discovered from a reliable source that NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams will be delayed till at least late January; Europeans will have to wait till late Feburaray. This means two things
Bad: For you NiGHTS fans, or people just wanting to pick up a copy of the game, you will be disapointed not to find it under your christmas trees this december.
Good: They are ironing out some bugs and making the game more complete.
They are delaying like a wild Twilight Princess game.
EDIT: NiGHTS is not delayed after all. Seems there was some bad information in the mix there.
Never played it, but it’s what got me into LDing in the first place. You see, in Sonic Adventure DX there are a bunch of references to NiGHTS, like NiGHTS pinball, the flying type chao looking similar to NiGHTS and the dark flying chao looking like Reala, and a couple more references. I looked up some info about it on google out of curiosity, and found out about lucid dreams. The rest is history.
What’s really strange about the fan community is that they are also into LDs. You should pick up a copy of the game (and a sega saturn) if you haven’t already. Trouble is, they are EXPENSIVE. Togheter with a sega saturn, the controller, and NiGHTS, it can cost you up to 60-70$ on eBay, and even more on Amazon. I really hope we get that NiGHTS remake for the PS2 over here in the U.S.
Ah NiGHTS… This is the game that got me into LDing in the first place. I’ve actually been playing it since I was very young and still do from time to time. It was an amazing experience the first time I popped it into the Saturn and began Spring Valley, the music, the colors, the break-neck speed in which NiGTHS zipped through the dream realm of Nightopia, it was all so surreal and breathtaking…
I really hope Sonic Team does it’s fans proud with this one. I’m really pleased that it’s delayed as it shows that Sonic Team knows just how important this title is and that they know it’s in everyone’s best interest if the game was not a rushed quick-cash title.
not sure if ya’ll figured it out yet, but im a huge NiGHTS fan. i think its the second best game of all time and i enjoy it a lot. i play time to time on my saturn as well as on my saturn emulator. the reason i play it on the emulator (i use a disc not an iso btw) is i can use my xbox 360 controller. its very nice and feels more fluid and comfortable. plus its all widescreen with better sound, less glitches and easier saving.
i dont believe this delay stuff. it aint official until sony says it is. gamespot still lists it as a december release. we’ll see but sega would’ve announced it by now. to me it seems things are going really smoothly.
I figured. I was wondering why you hadn’t spotted this topic.
Second best? Which do you consider first?
The delay is real, unless the sega official got it wrong. I got it from nightsintodreams.com, pretty much the ultimate fansite. They took a trip to sega (not sony, sony doesn’t own NiGHTS) and the PR representitive told them about twenty times there was a global delay. I’m curious as to whether this is true or not now, but still, time will tell.
Will you pick up the NiGHTS remake if it comes out on PS2 in the west?
best game ever is mario world. and yes i would definantly get the NiGHTS remake if it came out in the west. heck im tempted to mod my PS2 so it can play japanese games now that it’s coming to japan just to play it.
