NiGHTS producer Takashi Iizuka has hinted that the new title for the Wii could feature online play.
Iizuka has been quoted as saying, “Currently, we are investigating a number of features that will utilize the Wii network capability.” He was elusive about the exact details, saying “...we have not decided on any specific functionality yet.”
Encouragingly, however, he added, “Ultimately, we would like to have multiplayer functionality as well as a way to tap into the Nintendo network where players could share their game experience on a world-wide level.” Dare we hope that this means full open online play? We can dream, but it will more than likely mean some form of online scoreboard.
Iizuka also dished out a few morsels of information on how NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams will use the Wii's control system, stating:
He's a lovely chap, Iizuka. He recently got us feeling all loved-up with his heart-warming thank you to all the patient NiGHTS fans out there.

Iizuka also dished out a few morsels of information on how NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams will use the Wii's control system, stating:
“Initially, we envisioned using the Wii remote as sort of a "magic wand", where NiGHTS could be directed simply by movements of the controller. But with any new input device, we were finding some limitations using just the remote. That is why we are also designing the game to be played using the remote with the Nunchuk for a more "traditional" control configuration. Our goals are two-fold, one to create a brand-new gaming experience with the sequel as well giving the player a choice to play NiGHTS like before.”

Well, we're the first to comment here. I guess that means the red-haired whale didn't get here before us. xD
Tell the old Trip-ass that if she's gonna take information from spong, then give spong proper credit, and pleeeeeease, don't make up lies about having internal contacts with sega, It's embarrassing (Like sega would *ever* affiliate with a delusional whale.)

An online scoreboard? ^_^ Great. I don't have to video record my link attacks to post off to CVG Magazine....
Awww...NiGHTS is magic. I'm a proud owner of a Sega Saturn, but haven't bought a next-gen console yet. NiGHTS could decide it for me. =)
=P Unless they screw it up.
But, fingers crossed they don't, ^_^, and the magic remains!
I still think Christmas NiGHTS is better than normal NiGHTS, so here's hoping they take inspiration from that too [link attack, time attack, etc, ]
