Sega has offered up some more juicy details on the upcoming NiGHTS sequel for Wii:

A brand new NiGHTS for the Nintendo Wii

The fan-favourite game that introduced the innovative sensation of flying on the SEGA Saturn comes to the Wii in a brand-new adventure. Take advantage of the unique controller to enjoy a whole new experience of flying.

‘Persona’ masks open new possibilities
Three sets of masks give the player new shape-shifting abilities and more ways to explore the world.

• Dragon mask: Transforms NiGHTS into a huge dragon and makes him resistant to wind effects.

• Dolphin mask: NiGHTS can change into a dolphin and explore under water.

• Rocket mask: NiGHTS takes the shape of a rocket and travels at supersonic speeds.

Seven fantastical dream worlds to explore
The seven unique environments of Nightopia introduce an extraordinary, magical world unlike any other.

Wii connect 24
Exchange items with friends via the network and change the scenery according to real-world seasons using the Forecast Channel.

Looks like NiGHTS will take advantage of both WiiConnect24 and the Forecast Channel! :) Way to go Sega! Looks like they’re putting forth the effort to make a great game.
