Iizuka spills NiGHTS Wii beans

We've been speaking to the man in charge of NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, Takeshi Iizuka and, wh💎ile he's still keeping his cards held firmly to his chest, he has let slip a few interesting titbits.

Firstly, Iizuka explained how Sega is going for the nostalgic appeal with NiGHTS on Wii. It will "keep the game concept fundamentally the same as the original so that it would be a reminiscent return to their past NiGHTS experience." Unlike the original game, which he said, occasionally, wasꦏn't very "user friendly," he explained that "the sequel is built around a dramatic storyline that will engage the player and guide them intuitively through the adventure."

He went on to talk about the controls. "Originally, NiGHTS (for🅺 Sega Saturn) was released with a very special 3D controller that intensified the flight experience. With the Nintendo Wii, I thought it would be a perfect chance to attempt to recreate that innovative flight experience once again.
