IGN gets their hands on the news.
Apparently...
1. Game Reactor had to change the cover, showing only the silhouette of NiGHTS, probably because of Sega.
2. It's on a japanese Wii release list.
It still looks cool with only night's sihouette.
Nights look cool. I wonder if his change of clothes mean anything? Like he is now a high ranking Nightmaren or something.

Maybe it's just an "upgrade" like Sonic received for Sonic Adventure waaaaaay back in 1999?
I have mixed feelings about the ruffles.
Eagerly waiting for April 10th, when that Games Radar thing comes out. Man, I can't wait to see the screenshots.
God, why is it that Sega has to announce NiGHTS 2 (well, okay, they haven't yet, but they've as good as done it with all these magazine previews) and this Olympics Mario & Sonic game, but not follow through with any media? :
To make us play with ourselves?
...excessively. >_>
So, do you supposed Sega released news of Sonic and Mario to overshadow the news of Nights 2? And when Nights 2 is officially announced by Sega do you think it will overshadow S&M?
It will easily over shadow sonic and mario. That's a no brainer. We've been waiting ten years for a sequel and have just recently found out about sonic and mario
I don't know, Ray's got a good question. Surely Nights... fans have been waiting for ten years, but exactly how many people would that be as compared to Mario/Sonic fans. Nights sequel will gain much buzz fom critics and websites, but actual gamers I think S&M will be the big thing.

O.O I have no earthly...are you talking about the fans, SH? lol
According to the article:
- Iizuka said that a NiGHTS sequel wasn't made on, for example, the Dreamcast, because they weren't looking for just a graphical update, but for a way to make NiGHTS have a more surreal feel, something that is possible due to the Wii's control system
- Nightopia will have its look changed
- there'll be multiplayer and some kind of online mode
- new acrobacies to be made with the Wiimote
- more impressive enemies and bosses
- greater liberty of movement in the air
- possibly more human characters other than Claire and Elliot
- Iizuka wants this sequel to make NiGHTS fans feel proud
- upon being asked, Iizuka answered that this is the only sega classic they are planning on bringing back
Couldn't read some parts of the article due to it being cut out in the scan.
Wow...sweet. I gotta get my hands on the original. Hmm..
Reading Iizuka's name made me turn my eyebrows upside down. I don't trust him for some reason, but we'll see.

Now thats what I'm talking about!
EDIT:
Wikipedia now has an article over the game. On wikipedia its called nights wii. It had this also
It looks O.K. to me.
I might just take back what I said about Iizuke by a little bit. The scans look great!
I posted the scans several posts back. Wasn't stretching the tables with them, either. (I mean, they don't on MY screen since my monitor's widescreen, but that's a technicality.)
Also, Abac, Wikipedia having an article on this game isn't really newsworthy. After all, it's not a news site; it's an encyclopedia, nothing more.
The boss dude looks awesome. I like the looks of the levels, with a cloudy sky and everthing. Looks like you can go through the water again. It looks like it's just coming out for the wii 
Now I'll have to do the impossible: find a wii.
I'm gonna be the first to say that I'm not all that impressed with how Nights himself looks in the game. His sleeves are six-sided. But the levels look nicer/prettier than the Saturn's did.
Darn...that game is going to be colorful...hopefully they turn those colors down...or maybe it's just me.

No, you didn't. Go back and check your post; you forgot to actually include the pictures.
Nice pics. That boss in the background look awesome. Nights model isn't perfect thought. It look weird expecially the head.

Uh, no I didn't.
Then something's preventing your pictures from showing up on my screen, and judging by HyperSonic's response I'm not alone in that.
Mmm, I see why; Internet Explorer doesn't accept resizing by percentage, whilst Firefox does. Thus, it shows up in the latter, but not the former. Stupid IE.
I'll resize it via pixels, then.
I hope Sonic the Hedgehog into Dreams makes an appearance!
jk... maybe
Two words for you all.
Oh.
Yes.
*Reevaluates his life*
Finally, a chance for me to see what all the fuss was over Nights in the first place.
Maybe.
Am I the only person who is getting freaked out from the new eye design? It's crazy. I liked the old style.
He had the creepy cat-eye in his old design also.
I guess it's because the eyes seem to be more detailed than before.
Apparently the game's title is (tentatively) NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams (source)
Someone care to update the thread's title?
Sure.
I spy Hotel Dusk in somebody's avatar... shame I never played it.
Nice logo. According to Joystiq the game coming out in the Winter.I hope they include Christmas NiGHTS with it
.
It's good to see it coming out in winter. I don't have to worry about the whole I don't have a wii thing for a while.
I'm starting to get really pumped up with the sega of america page!
Oh man. I just can't shake off the feeling of dread. I have a feeling that Sonic Team will be making it's 3rd epic-failure game, for the 3rd year in a row. First, Shadow. Second, Next-Gen. Third, this. I can't be optimistic anymore, because whenever I'm thinking positive thoughts, it ruins the result.
Ha! ST knows what is at hand with this daring idea. This is pretty much it. They can either regain respect or lose it entirely. I'm placing this game on a prayer list. *executed*
'Persona' masks open new possibilities
Three sets of masks give the player new shape-shifting abilities and more ways to explore the world.
Dragon mask: Transforms NiGHTS into a huge dragon and makes him resistant to wind effects.
Dolphin mask: NiGHTS can change into a dolphin and explore under water.
Rocket mask: NiGHTS takes the shape of a rocket and travels at supersonic speeds.
Wii connect 24
Exchange items with friends via the network and change the scenery according to real-world seasons using the Forecast Channel.
Damn. Now I have to consider buying a Wii sooner than expected...
You could just do all the things in the first game that those masks do now... wheeee for new gameplay mechanic.
still stoked though.

Is it the ingame eyelashes compared to the nongame NiGHTS eyes?
Sound like Sonic Team being playing Majora Mask 
.

Look at the eyeballs. (The new eye-lashes aren't exactly helping either). The old version just had purple and black. This new one apparently has (judging from the sketch on another scan, and the images) purple, blue, and black going on.
What kind of substance do you think he's using in this nex-gen game? I wouldn't be surprised if a druggie started visualizing this game.
Sorry, I'm still getting over Sonic with the green eyes. I cannot accept change.
I never noticed how gigantic Nights' pupils were orginally. But yes, the fact that his eyes are actually two colors is a bit weird now.
his eyes are rather creepy
Wow! We're complaining about the freaking eyes. This game could be perfect in all other aspects, but will still be hated on because of an asexual's eyes. =
In my opinion this topic needs to be stickied >>

We're just running out of things to talk about. All we can do is speculate on most things about this game considering the bits of info we're being fed. I'm not going to shun a game, because of how the main character looks. I mean I played Wind Waker for goodness sake. 
A simple mode they could add to Nights would be a Time Trial mode, or even Tag (but not like the 2 player mode in the first game where you had to make circles around the other player; simply just hitting them). Or maybe.... collect all the blue balloons!!!
