    Never played the original.
    I hear good things, however, it is very kiddy…

    Never played the original but that was a great video.

    Looks a lot better than the screenshots lead you to believe. IGN’s Nintendo crew pan the game week after week, but the game actually looks really interesting.

  5. greatslack says...

    Looks like this game is mainly about flying through rings…

  6. Sharp says...

    I loved the original, even though I was too dumb at that point for games and had never made it past the first level.

  7. Andrew G. says...

    I’ve never played the original, but this looks very promising.

    I must say, after seeing the first screenshots for this game, I was generally unenthused. But this has made me think twice. It looks quite beautiful. Cant wait!

    It does look beautiful, but I just can’t shake the feeling that it’s a Rayman or Spyro minigame stretched out to several hours.

    Never played the first one but if the gameplay is as good aswell it looks it will be a hell of a game..

    Graphics look amazing with gorgeous environments ….

    “Graphics look amazing with gorgeous environments.”

    I was thinking the exact opposite. Some of the character models look nice later in the video, but otherwise, I thought the visuals looked really bad. Especially those textures, mainly in the watery caverns…terribly blurry. The gameplay looks kinda shallow, too…like a demo trying to pass itself off as a full game.

    Here’s hoping we NiGHTS detractors will be wrong, though.

    I gotta say that game looks pretty repetitive, not likely I’ll pick it up.

  12. ResidentialEvil says...

    The visuals are pretty subpar IMHO. After playing Metroid Prime 3 and now knowing what the Wii is capable of, seeing this makes me frown. Plus the jump in quality from the cutscenes to the actualy gameplay is really PS2-like.

    The game might end up being fun (though I also agree it looks pretty repetitive) but I can’t say it looks like a AAA title and more than likely I’ll pass.

  13. Jack says...

    Why did I start thinking about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Gene Wilder version) while watching this?

    Also, I had a flashback to a past Disney World trip.

  14. Awol says...

    Wwere you on acid at Disney World too? Right on, maaaaan!

  15. BlockSS says...

    @Derek,… I got distracted too much looking at the cutscenes..
