D-Pad: Same as Saturn, control NiGHTS direction and movement

i would much prefer if the analogue was used for control of NiGHTS. the tilting for stunts sounds like it could be good, but the wiimote and nunchuck could both detect tilt so why not use that combo.
 

[the1st_fret]

Of course, the controls could be done completely stock without using tilt but using the Wii remote and nunckuck.

C and Z for stunts. Nunstick for NiGHTS movement, and A button for drill. B could also be a stunt button.

This wouldn't be great use of the Wiimote but who said that every game has to use motion sensing? If NiGHTS 2 were to play the same as the Saturn, this is the way i'd want to play it.

Something I was going to bring up on the forum was how I wish developers didn't feel like they had to make use of the motion sensing in every game when a button press would have done. Especially when they've programmed the game to lack responce to the Wiimote or it just doesn't feel right at all. Like in Red Steel, the Grenade throw. If I did an overarm thrown, my character would either do an underarm, or just not throw it. In fact, just about every gesture in that game failed.

More games like Excite Truck please, where the motion sensing 'works' and you don't have to move around too much. Or if you do, at least you know it's gonna pick it up.

I'm sure NiGHTS 2 will use motion sensing, but i'm baffled on how it will.

Any ideas on how to do stunts with motions sensing if you were using the Nunchuck too?

[Ceric]

I think it should be like conducting a symphony.

I think all movement could be programmed to the nunchuck (motion-sensing, of course), while the Wiimote is used for some other new addition...Perhaps for manipulating objects in the environment like in Mario Galaxy?  Of course, the game could easily work with just the Wiimote, so I'll root for that... =3

[Innotech]

well, in Nights2's case, Sega was going to make a motion sensing version anyway on DC.  those hopes were obviously dashed, so when Nintendo came up with the wii, Im sure Sega's eyes lit up at the sight of the wiimote and said "thats it!"    So this isnt one of those cases where they are shoehorning motion controls for the sake of it, it was planned that way to begin with.

[the1st_fret]

Well i'm very interested to see how the game will control. Hopefully it'll keep all the same pace and precision the first game offered. I was worried at first about the Wii's motions sensing when I got my hands on games like Red Steel and even Warioware. But Excite Truck's controls have been pretty tight and haven't let me down. The controller's always responded to my turns perfectly, which goes to show its down to the developer's efforts.

From German gaming magazine 'Game Reactor'



nothing more to say, that is all. carry on.  

[Bill Aurion]

[KDR_11k]

That's not German. .se is Sweden.

[NWR_pap64]

But for which system?

And I say that's a prank.

Whatever... foreign gaming magazine 'Game Reactor'

[BlackNMild2k1]

Hmmmm... double post.

European gaming magazine then?

I can't be bothered to dissect Europe into different little sections, so I'll just group them all up into one.

[Ceric]

It is the April Issue.

[Bill Aurion]

A prank on the front cover?  Yeah, right... =|

[Adrock]

Still skeptical...

I'm curious as to why that cover doesn't specify a platform. If true, this might not even be Nintendo related at all (though chances are it would be).

[BlackNMild2k1]

Adrock, this whole thread was started by a cryptic picture that was featured in The Official Nintendo Magazine of the UK aka ONM. So if this wasn't coming to atleast Wii or DS I don't see why they would care.

[Adrock]

ONM is also known to be full of sh*t.

Look, I admit that the chances of the game (if this is real) being for Wii are higher than they are for competing platforms, but I won't celebrate until there's some concrete info. A picture of Nights playing an imaginary flute on the cover of a magazine that's printed in a language I don't speak or even vaguely understand doesn't actually mean anything to me. When I know the gaming is coming, I'll be the first to say, "Oooh, NiGHTS."

[ShyGuy]

So was the creator of Nights lying about his involvment or is this going to be the Shadow the hedgehog of NuGHTS games?

[BlackNMild2k1]

Adrock, I'm not even trying to push that this cover may be real, as its supposedly only a preview cover, as in not yet available, and could still be an April Fools prank. But if it does turn out to be real, I doubt ONM would tout its "World Exclusive" for a PS3, PSP or 360 game.

And now 2 other magazines are trying to cover the same story(one of them also being a Nintendo mag. - Ngamer), so I doubt they are all trying to pull off the same AF joke.  

[Adrock]

Well, my point is, because of ONM's sheer crappiness, their world exclusive might not even be NiGHTS at all. I distinctly remember that Leon Kennedy silhouette...

And aren't ONM and Ngamer published under the same company?

I simply want to wait for some confirmation. These stupid little teasers mean nothing to me.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I'm with you on this, as I don't even care for NiGHTS anyway. I've never played it and only seen it on video..... not impressed.  

Besides I posted a link to the Leon Kennedy thing earlier in this thread and was the one to tell everyone not to take ONM's hints as fact(don't want to see everyone possibly dissapointed later). But unless Game Reactor is also published by the same company, it would be a little wierd for 3 seperate magazines to have the same exclusive and one of them is willing to put it on the cover.

p.s. A subscriber to Game Reactor said that the magazine could arrive sometime this week, and he would confirm the cover wen it does. So I guess all we have to do it wait till then.

[nitsu niflheim]

If the Sega that first made NiGHTS were the same Sega around today, then it would be megaton news, but since Sega of today is really worse than a bastardization of Sega from before, then this is only lukewarm news.  If we also got a perfect port of NiGHTS without any changes then there might be something to really go crazy-murder-wild about.  

[Bill Aurion]

"I distinctly remember that Leon Kennedy silhouette..."

I believe this ended up being RE: Umbrella Chronicles news that they ended up not being able to print until everyone knew about it...

Oh brother... *rolls eyes*  

[BlackNMild2k1]

What can I say? I haven't played it and I wasn't impressed by the gameplay video.
I hear it just like the Wii, you have to play it to fully get it. I hear its fun, but the video looked quite boring. I would give it try, but as far as what I've seen on Youtube, I was not impressed.
No offense to anyone that enjoys the game, I just couldn't simply see whats so great about it without having ever played it. I'm not trying to put the game down in anyway, but I'm also not gonna hype a game that I don't really know anything about gameplay wise.

I'm all for Sega releasing this game as I know lots of you would LOVE to see a sequel or even a remake. The more games the better, especially when they are games that the gamers themselves are asking for. I don't feel I have to be a fan of this game to bring the rest of you info on it and hope that you all get what you want gaming wise from it.

But I have no idea why I'm getting defensive over this, as it doesn't really matter anyway.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Frankly I don't care!

I knew posting crap about this would cause people to explode!

IMAGINE ALL THE AD REVENUE I'VE GENEREATED!!

"What do you guys think?"
this is the GoNintendo way
