Sigh...
Sega has been remaking classic games on the PS2 for Japan only for years. Sega has a fund set up meant to remake certain franchises to "keep them alive". These games are Japanese only. NiGHTS is being remade because of high demand in Japan, but it is, in the end, a budget title. Localization in other regions will take the project over budget.
I don't really see what the big deal is...when it's been going on for years. Plenty of companies have Japanese only games because they don't do well in the west. NiGHTS simply isn't really in demand in America, regrettably.
I'll be importing this, although frankly, I'm more excited for the sequel. JoD is looking great.
PS: We're getting Yakuza 2.
