There is an interesting read on IGN about NiGHTS. It covers history of the title and possible outcomes for the future of Sega and Wii third parties. It's two pages, so I'm not copying it here. Just click the damn source and read it.

Having not read the article yet, I'm going to say that it probably matters to Sega.


Ok. I read it. It gives a nice history of the Sega Saturn and NiGHTS.

Then they state that NiGHTS will have to do more than just cash in on nostalgia. It will actually have to be a solid game to bring in new fans if it wants to be successful.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I didn't know Nights was Saturn's best selling game! Thanks, superchunk and IGN.

I've been looking forward to this since it was announced. I wonder what Segata Sanshiro thinks about this? Good article, thanks SuperChunk.

NiGHts should be an important game for sega, they've already scared away some of their fans with their new crappy sonic games, and only a few games stand out that are good since they went 3rd party, most of them mentioned in the article. If Sega can't turn this into a good game people will completely lose faith in them as a developer.

NiGHTS is an important game because it will inturn bring a huge installed cult following over to the Wii. But I myself am not so intrested the days of rail based games is long over and I don't find them appealing in the least anymore.

FreeRoaming and massive enviroments are the way of the future and rail games are best left to the arcades. In my opinion NiGHTS will push a good 300K this fall and early next year. However in its lifespan I expect it to fail to break the million mark with far superior competition I don't see NiGHTS being nearly as big as anticipated!

 There no such thing as a huge cult following ;)
