The Sega Saturn's most successful game, NiGHTs Into Dreams, has created a lot of anticipation for its sequel scheduled for this winter on the Wii.

In addition to the variety of interesting features announced so far for the upcoming NiGHTs: Journey of Dreams, such as two Wi-Fi multiplayer modes, usage of a "persona" mask system, and the original game's "Artificial life" mode, the game has another surprise in store for us.

In N:JoD's A-Life feature called "My Dream," the Wii's Weather Channel will come into play. So if your Wii is set to your corner of the world, your weather will be reflected in My Dream. If it's cold and snowy, that'll be the mini-game environment too; pretty neat use of the Wii's features, eh?

My Dream mode is a feature that is separate from normal gameplay in which you can raise pets.

The NiGHTs sequel will debut to fans around the world in December and January.

I was hoping the A-Life would make a return, and the implementation of changing weather seems like a enjoyable feature that will make the play experience feel different each time you play it. It would be interesting if hey took it one step futher and caused the layout of the levels to change too. Now we just need the adaptable music, and we're sorted.

By: ApplesauceNinja On: 09:03 Nov 9th, 2007 Offline	Hmmmmm...what an interesting and original concept...except they totally jacked it off of Madden O8, which has the same feature, if your console is connected to the net. If it's raining in your area, it rains in your game. If a player goes down in real life, he's down in the game. Still, good for Nintendo! They're finally taking a page from a more successful playbook.
By: Dragonfly On: 03:56 Nov 10th, 2007 Offline	ApplesauceNinja;36382 Still, good for Nintendo! IT'S A SEGA GAME! -_- Madden can do that? That's pretty damn impressive, although I doubt either of the games were influenced by each other. It's probably just chance (lol) that they revealed similar concepts at the same time.
By: ApplesauceNinja On: 06:43 Nov 10th, 2007 Offline	Yeah...NINTENDO sure did a cool thing with this, I'll tell you what. It's about time NINTENDO did something like this. I'm sure glad NINTENDO is finally utilizing the wonders of the web in their games. Perhaps NINTENDO will do this with other games as well. Who knows? Maybe this type of NINTENDO game will justify owning the NINTENDO Wii. :lol:
