January 18th, 2008. That’s the day when nearly twelve long years of waiting come to an end, and NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is released on Nintendo Wii.

I’m sure it goes without saying I’m incredibly excited about getting my hands on it, despite some of the things I’ve heard from people who’ve played it illegally (you know who you are!). To say that a year ago, the mere prospect of a new NiGHTS game was impossible, it’s incredible to think we stand less than two weeks away from a genuine, bona fide NiGHTS 2.

I will, of course, be posting my impressions as soon as I get my hands on the game, probably in pictorial form: expect either the anguished, contorted features of a man crushed after a dozen years of optimism or, for the first time ever, the purest essence of joy distilled in photographic form.

In the meantime, look out for my “Top Gaming Moments of 2007” post which I just decided to write now!

  I’m listening to Tijuana Lady by Gomez, from The Album.
