March 31, 2007

Care of some very nice Portuguese NiGHTS fans, we were able to obtain information about Sega‘s NiGHTS into Dreams… for the Wii. Portuguese mag MaxiConsolas interviewed designer Takashi Iizuka. Here are some snippets of info regarding the game from the interview.

Takashi relates that he’s particularly enthusiastic about Wii’s new motion-sensing technology and as a programmer, he’s interested in making a game that a few years ago he only got to dream about. He says NiD will take advantage of the Wii controller’s potential. For now, also, NiD is a Wii-exclusive.

Moving on to NiD gameplay, Takashi says that there will now be a two-player mode, as well as certain special online functions. The charismatic character NiGHTS will also be able to do a considerable amount of never-before seen acrobatic movements. He cannot disclose more about ir for now, but he hints on lots of loops, spins, and other maneuvers that the rebellious Nightmaren can do.

Takashi shares that the new NiGHTS happens inside a dream world, just like the first game’s story. NiD for the Wii will follow the adventure of Claris and Elliot. The game designer hopes to disclose more info about the game in months to come, but he suggested that he’s confident about attracting more new players on NiD to the Wii version of the game.
