NiGHTS for Revolution as Naka Goes Solo
Best. News. Ever!
20th Apr 2006

In its latest issue, Famitsu claims NiGHTS Into Dreams is being re-worked, ready for exclusive release for the Nintendo Revolution, meaning that we'll be able to smile for minutes at a time without the aid of benzodiazepines for the first time since 1996!

The mag made no mention of what we can expect, though twisting the Revmote through endless groups of rings while being hypnotised by the best game music ever is a tempting thought.

As you'll know, re-makes of NiGHTS have been the stuff of Internet legend for a decade, with rumours cropping up of a Sonic Team update on one platform or another every six months or so. Given Yuji Naka's open praise of Nintendo's direction of innovation over raw power, the DS and the Revolution have long been the frontrunners in the race to make Sega fans the world over stop bemoaning the downfall of the Dreamcast.

Famitsu's claim also seems to confirm Naka's long-touted departure from Sega, a development that - if it should prove to be true - has been smothered by the firm since it emerged some weeks ago. The rumour in Famitsu reads, “A Game creator who recently went solo is developing this. It's an action game featuring an evil-spirit that looks like a pierrot clown flying through the air is coming out for Revolution.” If that's not Yuji Naka setting up a new studio and re-making NiGHTS, we'll eat two hats.

As soon as we find out more, it will be published on these pages in minutes. Stay tuned.

And nobody mention 'dual-wielding' - it's probably for the best.

Man, here's hoping though! This alone would sell me on the Revolution...

Cheers,
Ben

Holy crap I'd buy that in a second.

I loved NiGHTs. It was one of my favourite Saturn games, despite how short it was.

Hehe. Naka obviously paid attention to my comments in the "Revolution controller unveiled" thread here a few months back ;)

If this gets confirmed, I'm gonna be making my first-ever launch-day console purchase :)

Hell yeah! It's so perfect for the Revolution, and it's about time. Sounds very promising, thanks for the info!

Count me cautiously optimistic, it is Spong, after all. They haven't been the most reliable. E3 is pretty soon, so I guess we won't have long to wait. I was preordering a Revolution anyway, so if it's true, this will make it all the sweeter.

This is what I call the first reason to buy a Revolution.

They got the lead from Famitsu... Famitsu has a knack for hitting spot on as far as rumors go...

Revolution on launch is now MANDATORY people! :D






At least for me...

Sounds too good to be true, but it's as perfect a fit as anyone could ask for. Guess we'll find out next week, eh?

Nights for Revolution.
This is a return of the other character created by Yuji Naka for the Saturn?

This is a reborn of a forgotten hero in the Wii, the new Nintendo system?

Asks will be answer in the Wii release.
