"Ok, so a little bad news first. Our SEGA guy informed us that apparently we weren't supposed to see ANYTHING but the Alps Chase first mission and the boss, we weren't even supposed to be able to see NiGHTS more than once! So we got WAY more than allowed, but he said "today's the last day so I don't really care". The only catch was we couldn't play 2P. Oh well. But what we saw, was WAY better than any 2P.
So one small update: NiGHTS can fly the "wrong way" on the course for fun or to get rings that were missed. The blue Link orbs collected are for the children and help you get Link combos.
Children controls (Wii-mote only): Controlling the child's movement uses the control pad. The kids can jump with the 2 button, and throw the blue Link orbs with the 1 button. Their number of orbs chuckable are limited to the number of orbs NiGHTS collected.
Now here's the big, huge, OMFG news:
We've seen the intro movie to the game at least 30 times before today, but today it was extended! Our guy didn't unlock anything new, he didn't do anything different, so I can't explain it other than the game must have bugged or something but we saw Reala! You're gonna die with how huge a spoiler this appearance was. After the scene of Helen running with the Nightopians, she finds a treasure chest and opens it. Then, the scene flashes to NiGHTS standing on the ground, looking up at Reala floating above. All I have to say: he's GORGEOUS!!! Very similar to the original design, only he's got the fluffy-puff collar NiGHTS has, a vest similar to NiGHTS also with a gem crest, he wears red gauntlets with black etching, and the face. Get ready to squeal: Reala wears the mask that is shown in the title logo. It's more detailed of course, but it's the same gold mask, with black etching, and a purple gem crest. There are also black feathers that protrude from the edges of the mask: it reminded me a lot of your cosplay costume of UV NiGHTS, Trippy. Anyway, Reala looks foreboding and powerful above NiGHTS. The camera zooms up and Reala does a sort of fist in front of the face threatening pose. Now here's another huge thing: I noticed the silhouette of Wizeman was behind Reala. Something's up there.
Anyway, we got lots of SEGA goodies, we tried SO HARD to get a photo or footage of Reala but they were literally watching our pockets without blinking. However, I've drawn a quick picture in pencil of what Reala's face with the mask and the collar looks like. It was a few-minute sketch so forgive the lesser quality again. Also, it was really neat seeing Reala smile, as in the smilish mouth going from a relaxed position to actually smiling (no teeth exposed of course, I really can't imagine that...). It was smooth, flawless, and looked completely natural. His color schemes are the same as before, only slightly darkened and a bit of purple added.
Side-note: The "seagulls" in the beginning intro that fly next to NiGHTS are actually geese, colored like seagulls.
For the rest of the intro, NiGHTS loops through canyons and over rivers, and even goes from flying fast to running like Sonic for a couple steps on a cliff (like Sonic as in, really fast, similar to Peter Pan in the scene where he's saving Tigerlily and runs down the cliff face). Then NiGHTS dives off the cliff in an acrobatic flying and then we get the title screen.
I got a magazine from Daniel to that I believe may have a screenshot that hasn't been released. I can't tell, I don't remember it (but then again I don't check screens often). I'll include that, too. The important detail is that there's a Nightmaren riding on the bird and controlling it with reins. It wears a green suit.
Enjoy enjoy enjoy, that's my last update for the games convention but I'm still here and I'd be more than happy to answer questions, discussions, comments, etc. "
