The folks over at GoNintendo recently posted up an article about a mysterious advert in the latest issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine which states that a “World Exclusive” new game announcement is coming in the next issue.

The only other details came in the form of a short few sentences that read: “Step back in time as a classic game makes a long overdue return” and a vague image. We had no idea what the piece was getting at so we didn’t report it straight away, but it seems some of the brainier people out there on the Internet have already figured it out!

In a post on the rllmuk forums, one member named ‘Initial K’ has posted a rather interesting comparison shot (which you can see above this article). Now, we can’t guarantee that NiGHTS is definitely coming to the Wii, but you need merely take a look for yourself to see it is looking pretty likely!

If a NiGHTS game is coming we still don’t know whether it will the long awaited NiGHTS sequel, or a port of the original title (which would tie in with rumors that Saturn titles are coming to the Virtual Console). Thanks again to GoNintendo and ‘Initial K’ on the rllmuk forums for the information and images!

Update: It just occurred to us that next month is in fact April, and we all know what day that month starts with. We’ll try to get an official confirmation but for the time being it looks like we’ll just have to wait and see what happens come next month.
