MoFo, I return to you now to deliver the Good News!
Official Nintendo Magazine of the UK has released this teaser for their next issue telling readers to "step back in time as a classic game makes a long overdue return.
This is the image:
Do you see it? Let me help...
There's talk that this is simply a release for Wii's Virtual Console, but I don't think this would merit such hype.
It would appear that SEGA has finally heard the cries from its fans. NiGHTS has returned!
*falls over*
...
This is either a hoax, or this person should be hugged and this topic stickied o_o.
OR this has nothing to do with NiGHTS >_>
*falls over dead*
wait, the poll! the poll on the sega site, thats what it was all about! im smart!
Holy cow you kids are quick... I wanted to be the first to post the news =
I was like "What the hell is that?" when I clicked the first link.
But when I looked at the second link VERY closely...it's hard to describe this feeling.
If this turns out good then considering the quality of Secret Rings the Wii could end up being labeled{not to mention actually being..} our salvation.
All the pieces fit so it's probably true, but don't get carried away. This is the April issue, after all. Right?
Edit: I hope this is a sequel and not just a port. This post was made with a sequel on mind, just for clarification. Or a sequel with an updated original onboard...Mmm.
Anyone else realise what month that mag comes out in? ;P
Edit: Ah right, HSW does. ^^;
It may be a renovated version.
Like the same as the old one only shinier.
Seeing how lame Sonic Team is, I'd put money on it.
lol Sonic Team.
I'm wondering how they're planning to run this franchise into the ground if they do carry on with this thing.

your french too? im not alone!
Gale, do you remember the LAST TIME you were enthusiastic about a Sega franchise? 
It didn't quite work out, did it?
ZUT ALORS! dude be positive, this is virua console were talkin' about not a sequel or a certain evil hedgehogs solo game, if nights is gonna be on virtual console it will be the same old awsome game, just with a weird controller itll be allright, trust me!
Yeah but Sonic Team my just puss out and not do it altogether o_O
Alright, so Secret Rings and Sonic 360 weren't that great...and PSU was a bit of a letdown...but there can still be hope!
Right, Psx?
...right?
secret rings next gen were good.
But it wasn't THE SECOND COMING like many had hoped Sonic Next Gen would be. However, plenty of people have commented that Secret of the Rings was a step in the right direction.
Alls I'm saying is... let's not get our hopes up. Though a NiGHTs DS is fine, too.
Bah, NiGHTS on the DS would just be Starfox Command without blasty things.
Why do I get the feeling that this an April Fool joke like this year EGM's Mushroom Kingdom Hearts which a lot of people fell for.
Thats exactly why I'm not paying attention to this unless its still floating around for a while.
thats what wonderbrat was saying,....only in french, but yeah it could be a hoax but maybe not, like i said before only time will tell.
I think this rumor worries me more than excites me...
Yeah, let's wait a bit and see if any new information sprouts up. I hate this time of the year....
Well, we at least know that the starry image isn't an April Fool's joke; it, at least, is genuine.
Thing is, we don't know for sure that it's NiGHTS. You can fit many things into that image (although not all as cleanly as NiGHTS fits); what's to prevent them from being those things?

To keep in line with the /b/ fads, I'll only say that IT'S AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWRIGHT
Mushroom Kingdom Hearts?
^ They thought that SQUARE would switch their partnership with DISNEY to NINTENDO and release a new KH game on the Wii with characters like Mario and that-whore Zelda helping you out.
I never believed it - it was too f*cking stupid.
It's no joke.

Some gamers burned by magazine April Fools' jokes in the past have pointed out that the teaser in question comes from the April edition of the Official Nintendo Magazine, an assertion a moderator at the magazine's official forums has flatly denied. "We do have respect for our readers and we don't set out to purposely mislead people," the mod's post reads. "This is not an April Fool."

ya but that doesent explain the sega of america poll.
If it is a sequel i'm hoping for a 360 release also.
i wish they could port it to the dreamcast... A man can dream though. A man can dream.
Ok, this is getting pretty redundant. Can one of the forumers get rid of one of these Nights sequel topics, please? Or combine somehow (though I don't know if that's even possible)
Abac, there's a video of the rumored sequel with the ending including a 360 logo at this topic: p072.ezboard.com/fsonichq...5042.topic
But again, it's a rumor.
Oh, I must have skipped that. But it looks awesome!!!!
But I do think we should scrap one of the topics, I geusse the one that was here first should stay, which is the other one
yupyupyup come and visit my topic and discuss there, i dont bite!
Um...I'd hate to be a pessimist, but assume for a second that a NiGHTs sequel is being made by Sonic Team...do we really want them to do it? The Sonic Team of today is not the Sonic Team of 1996...they're not nearly as competent when it comes to game development. I don't think the sequel would be anywhere near as good as the original...in fact, it may end up sucking.
Sonic Team making it is the only way I want it.
It's time for them to make a come back. I have faith in them this time. They just better not screw it up.
:">
Heh, I DON'T have faith in them this time, because the last several attempts deliberately failed. If I were to imagine how this game would look like - a rushed, botched, glitchy game that stars NiGHTS instead of Sonic.
If they actually take there time for this then I see no reason for it suck.
When they start rushing is when they begin to screw it up, as long as they're not rushing than it should be fine.
The current Sonic Team? Taking their time with a game and not rushing?
If that happens, I'll probably start listening for hoof beats.
have faith.
Sonic Team lost the proverbial benefit of the doubt when they promised Sonic 2006 would fix all the woes we're had with 3D Sonic...and then the finished product turned out to be the worst 3D Sonic yet.
When you think about it, all the major Sonic games were left incomplete and shipped as is. Its too bad the Sonic Team can't pull a "International Edition" or a "Lock On Technology" anymore.
I blame Christmas.
please you guys, can you do any better? no you cant,
sorry but i find it quite annoying when people critisize something they couldent do themselves.
sonic 360 was good and nights will be to.
You blame Christmas...I blame the suits at the top of Sega, and the stockholders who demand the games be out for Christmas. If only games were seen more widely as art, and less as a business, a game would never ship unfinished and unpolished.
that makes alot of sense, a game is art but sega has kinda always rushed that art, but still those sonicteam employees work hard and every body rants just because theres a little glitch...sigh...
Chu Chu, some of these guys here may be to tough on Sonic Team, but you are way to easy on them.
No Sonic 360 was not good. A few bugs? yeah...
Why are we so hard on Sonic Team?
Because Nintendoes what Sega can't.
Sonic Team wouldn't be doing this. Prope (Yuji Nakas side company) would, assuming Naka still holds the rights/Sega give them to him to use, of course.

Sonic 2006 was so bad that I am confident I could design it better than they did.
