Takashi Iizuka wants to make a third NiGHTS

It's in portuguese from Eurogamer.pt
It's not up in the english site yet.

Takashi Iizuka, director da Sonic Team e produtor do Nights original, revelou o desejo de desenvolver um terceiro jogo da série que foi lançada originalmente na Sega Saturn e que teve uma sequela para a Nintendo Wii com Nights: Journey of Dreams.

"Pesoalmente gostaria muito de fazer um terceiro jogo de Nights, mas a decisão irá depender sempre da SEGA," disse Iizuka.

A respeito de Journey of Dreams, Iizuka comentou que, "Com a versão Wii introduzimos gráficos que não eram possíveis nos dias da Saturn, pelo que nesse sentido o objectivo da equipa foi conseguido. Ficámos realmente contentes com o resultado."

O director da Sonic Team falou também do seu interesse por outros jogos, desta vez relacionados com Sonic, mas cujo o futuro parece mais complicado. Quando lhe perguntaram sobre um título dedicado exclusivamente a Tails ou a Knuckles, ele afirmou que, "Já pensei em ambos no passado, e actualmente até considerei fazer um jogo tipo Knuckles Chaotix, mas infelizmente a SEGA não me deu luz verde."

Actualmente Takashi Iizuka encontra-se a trabalhar em Sonic The Hedgehog 4 e Sonic Colours.
He says that "personally I'd really like to make a third NiGHTS game, but it all depends on SEGA."

He was really happy for NiGHTS on the Wii cause they managed to generate graphics that were not possible in the Saturn days.

He also commented on Sonic games involving secondary characters, stating that "recently I considered making a game like Knuckles Chaotix, but sadly SEGA didn't give me a green light".

More on this once the english article is up maybe..

I'd take another NiGHTs under some strict conditions...
1) NiGHTS itself should NEVER talk... NEVER.
2) No non NiGHTS gameplay
3)Bring back the ability to go around a track multiple times to improve score.

With that, I would welcome more NiGHTS. JoD had brilliant level design and music so it is all very possible.

I really enjoyed the one on Wii, and would definitely be up for another one.

The level where you hit the notes to play Dreams, Dreams really did it for me.

Dear Sega,

Please lock this man in the basement and don't let him ruin any more series to the point where they can never be saved.

Thanks.

It's great news Journey of Dreams bombed so hard. He won't be allowed to touch the game anymore. Bastard.

Found out the original source at gamesTM!
As it turns out this is week-old news. How this wasn't ravaged about everywhere I have no idea.

So if Sonic Colours turns out to be a good Sonic game can I stop having to see this crap multiple times in every Sonic thread please?

I did post that Sega Neptune, at the time I thought that was the big Sega news that they were announcing on Twitter.

I guess, it might be OK if Takashi Iizuka was only the producer and not the director. He's peaked at Sonic Adventure 2, then never reached the same heights.

Does he really deserve all the blame for the failure of NiGHTS2?

Sega made the executive decision for the game to be released for the Wii, and the team wasn't allowed an extension, they had to make the dead line.

The terrible ideas that are the core gameplay of the game certainly aren't the executives fault.

Nor the deadline, something simple as removing the score attack of the previous game is not something caused by executives or deadlines. I would also not place the blame for voice acting with unskippable cutscenes at either's doorstep.
