Granted this is a Japanese trailer, so maybe when the marketing starts up over here they'll drop the bad vocals, go full (midi) orchestral and tone down the Disney. The real question is if those who were excited about this game before still are? It's pretty hard to drop the ball on marketing the return of NiGHTS, but boy is Sega doing its best to pull it off.
Japanese NiGHTS trailer sort of a nightmare

Its gonna have a soundtrack featuring reworkings of the original music by Slipknot. A new look and voice actor for the Jesters. And of course lots of babes with unfeasibly large breasts.
maybe someone didnt play/beat the original....?

Howd you guys miss this one?
Although, it would help If I understood Japanese.

That was the original ending, it may not be the best song but it's not out of place.
I haven't heard it in forever and actually enjoyed the trip down memory lane. And I can bet you that is what they were going for.

But that's probably PSO for ya.

I call it a...Segtendo fanboy.
I don't know how it happen but I think you're right. I was a long time Nintendo fan but I loved the Dreamcast and now I'm some sort of crazy Nintendo/Sega hybrid fan. Back in the early late 80's early 90's who would have have thought that to happen.
That evidence alone lends to the belief that the SEGA fan-corps jumped ship to Nintendo
But even though this song, under any other circumstance, would be a fallacy, as it is, it is a classic of gaming, and i would be grateful to see it back in the next game
The Sonic collection also sold best on the Gamecube. GC also exclusively (I believe) had the Sonic Gems Collection.
I think it's because Sega and Nintendo both tend to have an "old school" feeling to their games that I kind of like...Nintendo moreso than Sega, which I guess can sometimes be a good or bad thing.

It sickens me greatly. Remember the history of the title. You are a journalist, do the job RIGHT!

Nothing wrong with bloggers... unless their audience starts thinking they are journalists...
Original song or not, I think it's a fair statement to say that it's just not very well done.
1: Make game super-nostalgic to cater to the now-in-their-20s original fanbase
2: Fanbase buys buys buys, influences younger gamers (including their kids, for those that have a child)
3: Profit!

This reiterates what we're all thinking.
Joystiq = anti-Nintendo. I guess they're too "hardcore" and they need to please the mainstream "hardcore" crowd. What a shame.

But the same can be said about the PS3 and 360. Cept the 360 doesn't get as much seething flaming from things obviously imagined.
...anti-N-Gage, however...
Although that one post about how Nintendo "abandoned" hardcore gamers that Kazi linked to WAS probably the most blatant, anti-Nintendo fanboyism I've seen since Vlad Cole (I think that was is name) said Zelda: TP sucked in his "review".
I also have to agree that the 360 gets off pretty damn easy, all things considered.
...and no, complaining about the RRoD doesn't count, 360 Fanboys. That's actually, like, a legitimate problem.

With all of the people talking smack about this version of the game, you have to wonder if any of them actually played the original....

Honestly, I can't get over how nostalgic this trailer makes me feel.

That said, I really, really, really, really, really hope Sega has the brains to put the original NiGHTS on the Wii version as a bonus.
...or release it on the VC. I'm seriously hoping that's what the "September Surprise" for Wii owners is – Saturn games.
And, how is Nights elitist? That's one of the more moronic comments I've ever seen online. Niche, yes -- elitist ... do you know what that word means?

If it were on the PlayStation or N64 you'd bet all the naysayers would be singing a different tune about the game. I still have my doubts about the current Sega being able to pull this game off but it's not going to be because of a song you don't recognize.
And hell, if the game gets raved about and you don't get the game JUST BECAUSE OF THIS SONG you obviously have some issues you need to sort out.

An elitist game Nights is not...

Bad form on the blogger's part - that song's a classic! :D
