Sega has confirmed that NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is headed to Wii this fall.  The long awaited sequel to the Saturn classic is reason for both Sega and Nintendo fans to rejoice; supposedly it started development as a 360 and PS3 project!  Dodged a bullet with that one, though I can't see NiGHTS making much sense on another console.  I'm sure Saturn fanboys are weeping tears of joy right now, and I'm just happy that Wii gets such a well-loved franchise.  Is that a light at the end of the drought?
