Hey, guys...just thought I'd mention that, as of August 1st at 9:00 Eastern, NiGHTS: JoD is the most popular Wii game on wii.ign.com, beating out the likes of The Conduit, MadWorld, Wario Land, and even Zelda. This is according to the "Most Popular" sidebar on the right, and could change at any time, so...check it out! Quick!

Yes! NiGHTS certainly deserves more shine than he usually gets, so I'm glad to see this. Yay! Woohoo! Go NiGHTS!

I'm saving this picture. Definitely.

Well, for whatever reason this error is occuring, with any luck it will falsly advertise the game and more people will buy it. HUZZAH! Well done IGN you idiots. You have promoted our fanbase.

...however in a recent IGN top ten Sega Saturn games of all time list, they put NiGHTS at number 4 YET refered to Claris as 'Claire' again. Wow. They sure do their homework.

Curious...

I dun still see it now though.. drat

Looks like it's no longer here
But it makes me happy that NiGHTS got some recognition, even for a short time.

I got super excited until I remembered 'wait, this doesn't reflect the sales; this is people at IGN logging in and voting for it' (yes, I'm that stupid at the moment). Still, it must say something about its popularity since it's the only Wii game that placed, and especially considering the types of games it has joined in placement, but that's assuming this isn't a bug of some sort that's accidentally placed all the votes for the Wii titles in the NiGHTS bin. ^^;;;

*trundles off on the 'considering the types of games it has joined in placement' thought*

This truly is significant considering the genre of games its surrounded by on that list (again assuming its not some bug of epic-fail) because NiGHTS is proving popular to an audience it was not intended for; action/shooter lovers. Now, this could possibly prove terrifying if Sega decides to go down the suicidal-fantard path they've apparently taken with Sonic, slapping gimmicks on him that go so completely against his character (and even I must agree that Werehog has essentially shot his brain-parents in the feet and run off with their paychecks to purchase mountains of dried pig's ears to nom upon), but if they happen to go down the right path (making the story a bit deeper without slapping rabid plot-bunnies all over his character design; a.k.a. LEAVE THE CHARACTER ALONE) they could come up with something explosive that could give poor Sonic a well-deserved break, or even take over where he left off if he's (very sadly) that far gone as a franchise figure-head.

And now I shall return to my quarter-full tub of icing, for I am in a rather bizzare mood today. ^-^;;; *gives up on editing out anything potentially eyebrow-raising and posts it as-is* XDDD

EDIT: And in three seconds it's over; darnit. DX

[Murasaki Doku]

whatever reason

I was cosplaying.

Yep.

My cosplay has cosmic powers.

Just incase anyone missed it being no.1 in the Wii section...

[Meggiemaccat]

*kicks self over prior post, then drops the matter* That's neat! We've got something to prove this with! 8D *goes to save both screencaps to computer*

[DiGi Valentine]

It was number 1 in the Wii section? ...haha. Man.

[::NiGHTS::lover]

Freaking amazing xD

[striker0]

That's friggin awesome, indeed it is.
And not a final fantasy game to be found on the list. *cough*crisiscore*cough*

[Dreamy NiGHTS]

Oh my God!!! This is the first time ever that one of my favorite games is at the top!! Congrats NiGHTS!!!

[ayamemaiden]

Thank God.

[Kitty]

That's almost as awsome when I found out NiGHTS won best Music Score For Nintendo 2007 >w<
