Sega Deals: NiGHTS: JoD, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity price drops
Posted by Chris. Filed under Chris, Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 2. Tagged with NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, Sega Deals, Sonic Riders.
With all the great games Sega’s been throwing at us this month, we don’t know if anyone has enough cash left in their wallets to afford much else, but there are a couple deals to be had if you can spare a bit more change.
Gamestop is currently offering NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams for $30 brand new. Add the coupon code FREESHIPALL, and you get free shipping on top of the $10 price cut.
If you already own NiGHTS: JoD, Amazon is selling Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity on both the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 2 for $30 and $25, respectively.
This is probably the cheapest we’ll see either of these titles for the foreseeable future, so if they’re of interest to you, you should hop on them now.

Sega officially reveals NiGHTS: JOD bonus content
Posted by Chris. Filed under Chris, Nintendo Wii. Tagged with NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams.
A few days ago, word slipped out revealing the bonus events in NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams‘ My Dream portion of the game. Today, Sega officially revealed that NiGHTS: JOD owners can expect special events each month that includes seasonal decorations and more.
The My Dream mode is an online virtual world that allows gamers “to create their own dream world using elements from the NiGHTS world,” according to Sega.
We here at Sega Nerds think this is an excellent way for Sega to extend the life of NiGHTS: JOD and will be sure to pop in each and every month to check out the events. Read on to see the full calender of events.

Just over a week ago, we announced the New Years Nerdaway, our special giveaway for the start of 2008. Featuring 4 great bundles of gaming goodness.
So far we have been inundated with scores of entries, but the contest is not yet over. No sir!
The closing date for the contest is on January 31st 2008. Which, at the time of posting this article, leaves anyone who has not yet entered, with exactly 1 week (7 days) left, to try and win these fantastic prizes.
For full details, follow this link.
Finally! The New Years Nerdaway!

Finally it is here! Apologies we had planned to hold it sooner, but… well I won’t fob you off with any excuses, it was held off, it’s here now. That is what matters!
Previously we had teased you with the outline of prizes we had on offer, and now I give you the rules, regulations and (most importantly) the questions, with which you will need to win.
Rules: We have 4 seperate bundles of prizes to give away. Each bundle has a question to go with it. All you need do is choose which of the prizes bundles you would like to try and win, and answer the corresponding question, and then send your answer(s) to us (contact info coming up).
You can enter to win as many of the bundles you want to, however, we will pick the winners for each bundle in order (starting with 4, ending with 1), and should your name be chosen for Bundle 4, you will not be eligeble for any of the other bundles.
So if you really want to win Bundle 1, it could be wise not to enter for all 4 bundles, in case you ‘accidentally’ win a different bundle. But, then again, if you just want to win some Sega gaming goodies, then go ahead and enter for all the bundles!
The full list of prizes and questions coming up after the jump.
Sega confirms UK release dates
Posted by Graham. Filed under Europe, G, Microsoft Xbox 360, News, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, PC, Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with Condemned, Ghost Squad, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, Phantasy Star Universe, Sonic Riders, The Club, Universe at War, Viking Battle of Asgard.
Sega has set out several release dates for upcoming games, in Q1 2008.
On the cards is NiGHTS Journey of Dreams, for the Wii (Finally!). Which is now set for a January 18th release, although several online stores, including GAME, still date it for release on the 25th. Also set for January 18th is Ghost Squad.
Yet Universe at War: Earth Assualt, has been pushed forward slightly, to a January 25th release, which is actually in place of PSU expansion, Ambition of Illuminus (originally scheduled for 25th), which is now confirmed for a week later.
Released on Febuary 8th, we should see the highly anticipated The Club, plus the DS version of Mario and Sonic Olympics.
Bad news is that Condemned 2: Bloodshot, has been pushed back by two weeks, originally set for a Febuary release, it is now due on March 14th. Also the game has undergone a slight name change, and the subtitle, “Bloodshot,” has been removed.
PS2 and Wii racer Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity follows on the 22nd, and February 28th sees Bleach hit Wii and DS.
Dated for March 28th, we have Viking Battle for Asgard, and also Sega SuperStars Tennis.

Future NiGHTS games to remain Wii exclusive?
Posted by Graham. Filed under G, News, Nintendo Wii. Tagged with Fan Stuff, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams.
In a recent interview with German site, G-Wie-Gorilla, Takashi Iizuka (the man behind NiGHTS), has let slip that any future NiGHTSgames will most likely be kept on the Wii.
Iizuka-san believes that the Wii was, and is still, the correct choice of platform for our androgynous flying friend.
“When we decided to finally make a sequel to NiGHTS, we didn’t know which console it would be for,†he recalled. “We only decided later on that we would develop the game for the Wii. But I think it was a good choice – should we make another instalment, we would make it for the Wii.â€
Well that could worry some Sega fans, who feel that the Wii was not the right choice of platform for the game, (personally I like the Wii outing), and many were hoping that Sega has a Xbox 360 and/or PS3 NiGHTS title in the works. But it seems that Iizuka-san has quashed any such dreams.
Of course, this information is only a concern if Sega does decided to make another NiGHTS game. It took a good 11 years to make the first sequel, most likely by the next one comes out, we will be on the Wii 2 - which has us controlling games with thought power alone. Either that or the space-ants will have taken over.

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is not a terrible game.
Japan gets a neat NiGHTS doll

It’s no secret that most Western gamers envy the Japanese. Not only do they tend to get some amazing games that don’t make it our way, but they also get really cool bonus content, too. Take for instance, this cuddly little NiGHTS doll available there.
All we got was that crummy bonus DVD. :(
