Yuji Naka doesn't want NiGHTS at the moment - Image 1 NiGHTS into Dreams, or just NiGHTS, is being rumored for some time to make a come back on Wii. Even video game online site Spong mentioned the other day that the new title has been confirmed 100% to them by both Nintendo and Sega.

Everything good now? Well, not exactly, especially after another site, CVG, has spoken with game creator Yuji Naka. According to Naka, who was sober during the short talk, he is not interested to re-visit his old Sega properties. His exact words were, "At present, I have no such intentions."

Yuji Naka left Sega around more than a year ago and started his own game development studio PROPE. Quite curiously, PROPE's initial capital was somewhere around 10 million Yen or roughly around US$ 84.69 million. 10% of this capital came from Sega, giving them a "first dibs" option to publish games developed by PROPE.

NiGHTS into Dreams was originally launched in 1996, alongside more popular video game titles Super Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot. Sega recently had a community poll in its official website regarding old games fans would like to see return. As expected, NiGHTS was the popular choice.

He might not be part of the project, that's all...
