NiGHTS: Journey of a cheap game

Posted Jun 12th 2008 6:00PM by Candace Savino
Filed under: Sales

If you're buying a GameCube controller at Amazon, why not buy a cheap Wii game to go with it?

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is now marked down to $20.09 at the online retailer, which is a hard-to-resist price for an unused copy of Sega's game. Although it didn't get the best reviews, twenty dollars isn't a lot to ask when it comes to reliving a beloved franchise.

Does anyone who owns NiGHTS want to make a recommendation for or against it?

Cheap prices are buzzing around GameFly

If you're one of the cool kids that visits Wii Fanboy often, you probably know that we love bargains. Even more so, we love sharing them with you. We thought we'd tell you, then, that aside from Circuit City having some sweet deals this week, GameFly is also looking to take money out of our pockets.

From today to the 19th, GameFly is having a storewide sale, which means cheap games galore. The catch is that they're used, but that's not a big deterrent since the game conditions are usually tip-top.

Some highlights include:
We also found some other nice sales over there, so it's worth checking them out if you're craving a new (yet used) Wii game.

Another week in Japan: Hardware and software numbers 12/10-12/16

It's that time of the week again when we find out how the Wii and its games sold in Japan. While we really have no need to be worried about the hardware, certain unconfirmed numbers earlier this week did raise concerns about third-party software sales.

So, how did the fair Wii fare in the land of the rising sun this week? Regarding hardware sales, the Wii just barely eked out in front of the PSP to take second place with 168,000 units sold, jumping up over 50,000 units from last week. As for the software, there's some good and bad news. Check after the break to see the numbers.

Rumor: Wii games face disappointing first day sales in Japan

Posted Dec 16th 2007 3:04PM by Candace Savino
Filed under: Rumors

This seems to be becoming a trend, but the handful of Wii games that were released this week in Japan are reported to have had poor first day sales. They were all third-party titles, which is also somewhat worrisome. Here's a look at the numbers:
  • Chocobo's Dungeon (Square Enix) - 30,000 (30% sell through of initial amount shipped)
  • NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams (Sega) - 7,000 (10% sell through)
  • Soul Calibur Legends (Bandai Namco) - 5,000 (10% sell through)
  • We Love Golf (Capcom) - 4,000 (10% sell through)
  • Shikigami no Shiro III (Arc System Works) - 500
Granted, these are only rumored first day sales, and we'll have to wait until later in the week to get a better grip on the situation, but as of now it doesn't look good.

So, what do we make of these numbers? If they're correct, is it bad news for the Wii and third-party developers, or just more evidence that Japan is shying away from console gaming? While the latter is certainly a factor, third parties certainly can't be happy to see low numbers. However, it's way too early to ring a death knell for any of these games, even if these numbers are correct. We'll just have to wait and see how these games perform in the next few weeks.

NiGHTS: Journey of Spoilers

Posted Dec 5th 2007 7:00PM by Candace Savino
Filed under: Video


It was bound to happen, but some videos from the end of NiGHTS: Journey into Dreams have found their way onto the internets. The quality of these videos is very poor, but since you can sort of make out what's going on despite the talking in the background, these videos should definitely be considered spoilers. From what we could tell, they don't show the very end of the game (although, since we haven't played it, we could be wrong), but just events near the end.

Anyway, there are SPOILER VIDEOS after the break, consider yourselves warned!
