Radiant Silvergun 3 For 360? Nights For Wii?

We dutifully passed on word in September that Project RS3 (for Radiant Silvergun 3, in which Project RS2 became Dreamcast shooter Ikaruga) was headed to the Xbox 360. Well, we passed on an assumption from Play that Treasure's "original shooting game" was rumored to be a trilogy-ending vertical shooter in the vein of Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga, but so far we've seen nothing concrete from Treasure or Microsoft. The only thing we know Treasure is officially working on is a sequel to their Nintendo DS fighter Bleach.

Still, hope survives in the form of a release list from G-Rev—who just happen to have nothing to do with shmup developers G.rev, who, also unrelated, are responsible for Xbox 360 wet dream shooter-fighter Senko no Ronde as well as Dreamcast faves Border Down and Under Defeat.

The list, linked from the dark and lovely Brandon of Insert Credit and currently roaming the internet, also features another to-good-to-be-true title, NiGHTS for the Nintendo Wii.

But what do we have to go on with NiGHTS for the Wii? Pretty much nil. Sega has done virtually nothing with the franchise since its debut in 1996, but that hasn't stopped every Sonic Team and Yuji Naka hyperfan from putting a sequel or remake on his or her fantasy list alongside every new console release.

Is this just an internet rumor running wild, ultimately showing up on G-rev's exhaustive console listing? That's my guess. With Sega focusing on older IP like Alien Syndrome and After Burner, however, we'll rule nothing out.

I honestly hope this is true and that someone will have the good sense or financial recklessness to release a top-down shooter in the West, but I'm not holding my breath. As for NiGHTS Into Dreams for the Wii? I'm not going to set myself up for disappointment. I'm assuming this, like Shenmue III, will never see the light of day.

Pray that I'm wrong! Michael McWhertor

Although it probably won't happen, I would love to see a sequel to Nights.

For those who don't know about Nights into Dreams, it was a SEGA Saturn game where you played as a flying Jester and went through rings.

A lot of old SEGA games would work rather well on Wii now that I think about it.

Panzer Dragoon and Space Harrier could play like that Twilight Princess minigame where you fly up the river on the bird.

Burning Rangers could use the Nunchuck for moving and aim with the remote.

Samba De Amigo would be nice too.
