SEGA REVEALS NEXT-GEN FEATURES FOR NiGHTS: JOURNEY OF DREAMS

SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that NiGHTS™: Journey of Dreams

for the Wii™ video game console will come complete with a variety of

next-gen features that tap into the system’s hardware including “Weather

Channel" support, a Wii-first! This feature enables the game’s “My

Dream" area, a customizable sand-box environment that allows gamers to

capture, raise, and even combine the inhabitants (A-Life) from the world

of Nightopia, to generate real-time weather effects specific to the

territory players previously registered with on the Wii. For example, if

the current weather forecast is clear and sunny in the players’ resident

territory, the “My Dream" environment will be clear and sunny as well.

The game will also feature an online-enabled two-player mode allowing

gamers to race and battle against one another via Wi-Fi connection at

launch on December 18, 2007.

Unlike any other game available today, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams will

deliver the feeling of flight through the innovative Wii control

system. With the help of Persona masks, players will glide, spiral and

loop through a variety of mystical dream worlds packed with action and

adventure as they dive and blast through rings, gather orbs and come up

against fantastic and unforgettable boss battles. Anchored by a

storyline about courage, hope and inspiration, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams

is the most unique and experience on the Wii.

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams unfolds in Nightopia, the spectacular dream

world of two young characters, Helen and Will. Struggling to overcome

the every day challenges of growing up, these two 12-year-olds find

their real life experiences spilling over into their dreams. As Helen

and Will fall into a deep sleep, they are greeted by NiGHTS, a fantasy

jester, who leads them to explore the rich and vibrant land of

Nightopia. Along the way, NiGHTS helps the youngsters bravely face

their fears by finding inventive ways to confront, outpace, and outwit

foes -- such as the villainous Nightmarens. Through the freedom of

flight, execution of stunning acrobatic moves and tapping into special

abilities, gamers can overcome obstacles and restore peace to Nightopia.

What is A-LIFE: A-LIFE are creatures living in the world of dreams.

There are 3 types of A-LIFE: "Nightopians" who reside in Nightopia,

"Nightmarens" from the world of Nightmare, and "Mepians" who are a mix

of the two creatures. A-LIFE live freely in the world of Nightopia and

they multiply, learn, and evolve as they transform with generational

changes.

What is "My Dream": "My Dream" is a customizable "sandbox" environment

where players raise their A-LIFE creatures. By using NiGHTS’ ability to

para-loop in the single-player game, the A-LIFE creatures can be

captured and transferred to a player’s My Dream space. The My Dream

world evolves dramatically depending on how the player nurtures the

A-LIFE activities and the various objects that the player drops into the

environment, creating a truly personal experience.
