Recently, NGamer got an exclusive interview with the man behind NiGHTS Journey of Dreams, Takeshi Iizuka. The interview itself is short but sweet, and by sweet, I mean it’s got some good new info, if you couldn’t tell.

First of all, just to relax the diehard fans, will the Wii version of NiGHTS be following the fundamental game mechanics of the original?

Takeshi Iizuka: For those loyal fans that have waiting 11 years for NiGHTS to return, I felt the need to keep the game concept fundamentally the same as the original so that it would be a reminiscent return to their past NiGHTS experience. This way, I could extend my thanks and appreciation for all those fans that waiting all this time for the sequel. To them, I want to say “Thank You” for without their support this project would not be possible. Additionally, we are planning expand on the original to include a variety of new gameplay mechanics that I hope fans new and old will enjoy.

And heres another

Will the music in NiGHTS still change based on the mood of the Nightopians?

Takeshi Iizuka: We are very fortunate to have Mr. Hataya, the original music composer from the first NiGHTS game aboard creating the new soundtrack. Since the game structure is completely revamped as we added a lot more game volume, we realistically didn’t expect to do the same things we did in the original NiGHTS. We like the mood-enhancing soundtrack feature very much and want to do something very special collaborating with Mr. Hataya. We promised that there will be a lot of new and exciting ideas for “Journey of Dreams”.

In fact, the rest interview is a MUST READ, so go forth my Segalings and read
RIGHT HERE!
