A new Skies of Arcadia and NiGHTS could be on the way from Sega, according to a tentative list from the company's upcoming Gamer day.
According to Sega site Sega Nerds, the company may be showing some interesting surprises during the upcoming Sega Gamer's Day in May.
- ALPHA PROTOCOL
- BEIJING 2008
- EMPIRE: TOTAL WAR
- GOLDEN AXE BEAST RIDER
- NEW ETERNAL ARCADIA (TENTATIVE)
- NEW NiGHTS (TENTATIVE)
- SAMBA DE AMIGO 2008 (TENTATIVE)
- SONIC CHRONICLES: THE DARK BROTHERHOOD
- SONIC UNLEASHED PREVIEW
- SPACE SIEGE
- STORM CHASER
- SUPER MONKEY BALL FOR iPhone (TENTATIVE)
- THE CRUCIBLE: EVIL WITHIN
- THE INCREDIBLE HULK — THE VIDEOGAME
A new Skies of Arcadia would be just swanky, given the large fan-base over the Dreamcast original in 2000, and the enhanced remake in 2002. As for a new NiGHTS, could the lukewarm reception for the Wii sequel see a 360/Playstation 3 version instead?
The line-up also includes the likely appearance of the upcoming DS Bioware-developed Sonic RPG, The Dark Brotherhood, and the already-out-there-but-still-denied Sonic Chronicles.
Sega's event will take place in May 2008.

As for NiGHTS, who knows.

If you are one of the many complaining about lack of great Wii games, and you don't own Okami, then pipe down and go buy it.

7292 783 15.02.2007 LinkyshinksI have to agree with the big block of text above. If SEGA are serious about wanting to tackle their current financial situation they need to put out games like that.

Unless they're porting the PS2 NiGHTS remake to Wii. That would be amazing.( Edited 30.03.2008 17:27 by Ikana )

Why would that be better? I don't have, or intend to get a 360. I do have a PS2, though.

11601 1480 11.07.2005 noneBecause it would have online leaderboards and you don't have to put a disc in and would be really cheap and look lovely.

6616 729 05.09.2004 nonethe main sticking point for me would is that I don't have a 360, and thus, would not be able to experience NiGHTS. I do have a PS2 though, which NiGHTS is already out on, just not in my region.

1326 149 07.06.2006 IkanaI'd rather NiGHTS were on XBLA than PS2...for the reasons Crumbley said, plus I can't be bothered with Swap Magic...though a PAL release would be great for anything.

1520 81 08.05.2006 noneSkies of Arcadia was noch bad. But it was extremely boring when sailing in the heavens, because of the HUGE HEAP of random battles. That killed the game for me. It lies around being played just a third of it's content. Yes, the GC-version!
But it would be sweet to make a new one, a... 'port' or something like that.
By the way: With the cheap crap SEGA is throwing on the market, I do not doubt, that they have problems staying 'liquid'...

I find your lack of faith disturbing!
