5 questions asked, evaded concerning NiGHTS

Posted by Hudson. Filed under News. Tagged with NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, Unreleased.

Of all the news to come out concerning NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams since its debut, this is probably the most evasive. A new interview with Iizuka about his current spotlight project has hit the web, and he couldn’t be more vague in his answers about the upcoming sequel that just might [rock your ugly face/suck hardcore]. Interviewer Phillip Levin puts up a good fight, but Iizuka dodges the questions as deftly as NiGHTS him/her/itself. Really, though, it’s comedic gold:

Question #1
AMN: How has the development team made the transition from 2D into 3D with NiGHTS? Can you explain to us exactly how the game is played?

Iizuka: We originally designed the gameplay around the joy and freedom of flight system which has made NiGHTS a unique gaming experience. The sequel will embrace the same unique gameplay experience while adding a variety on new game ideas and mechanics to expand on the original. The sequel is being designed to fully utilize the Wii remote so that the player can intuitively execute a wide variety of game actions being designed for the sequel. We also are creating a brand new story surrounding two new characters and the challenges they overcome with the help of NiGHTS.

Bravo, sir!
