It's the start of a new year and we find two big rumors floating around the net, surprising us out from the left field. They might not be as big for some of our readers, but for those who have played the concerned video games before (both of which come from the Sega Saturn), the prospect of a possible new installment/remake/sequel to the said games is exciting enough. These rumors were already hinted at before, but for them to suddenly resurface right now comes as a bit of a shock.

Radiant Silvergun 3?


A list of Japan releases came up at G-rev and soon enough, Siliconera sniffed it out with translations of the games. The first is Treasure's Radiant Silvergun 3 as part of the side-scrolling shooter series that came out originally for the Sega Saturn. It's on the Xbox 360 list, and pretty much possible since we already heard of Treasure supposedly working on a shoot-'em-up title for the 360.

NiGHTS?


The second surprise title appeared on the Wii list, and the reason why we're surprised is because the last we heard of this rumor was way back early of last year when the Wii was still called Revolution. And to think, at that time, the rumor was based on hearsay of a drunken conversation. G-rev has listed a NiGHTS Into Dreams game from Sega, but whether or not this is a remake of the original game for Sega Saturn, nothing has been confirmed yet.

It's only the first few days of January, and things are starting to heat up already. Will these rumors be doused to ash and coals? We'll keep you guys posted!

 » Remake?

I think it's unlikely to be a remake for the Wii... If they don't go the Virtual Console route, it'll be a sequel/whole new game with the same basis.

Dude, I would kill to have Radiant Silvergun for the Wii...or even my PS2 ...hell...for my SATURN even! Damn!

Oh my god!
I want both of these ASAP, I hope they're just straight ports to the VC, I wouldn't want Sega to 'improve' NiGHTS. I'd surely buy some Wii points for those!

I like the Wii, and everything, but why is this posted on the 360 site?

It is related to the 360 because it says that Radiant Silvergun 3 may be coming to the 360. Did you not read the article?

 » Sure it wasn't Sega but

It was Sonic Team who did Nights. And have Sonic Team not released several Nintendo games like the Phantasy Star Online series? The various Sonic games etc.

I don't own a Wii but i will buy one if Nights turns out to be a Wii exclusive. Hell, i bought a second hand Saturn and a copy of Nights last year after remembering how great it was first time round. Not managed to track down Radiant Silvergun tho as i don't think a PAL version was ever released.

Now all we need is Panzer Dragoon Saga and our lives will be complete.

 » Nights on Wii would suck

Just to ask you guys, serious answer please...


If the new nights game played anything like the Saturn version, how do you expect the Wiimote to make the game that much better?

All you'd be doing is holding your arm out to the right and occasionally moving it in a loop to do flips and stuff.

The Wiimote wouldn't make it THAT much better, and if anything, would just give you an arm ache.


I'd prefer it on 360 with HD visuals by 110%.
