''NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams'' is a video game for the [[Wii]] video game console. It is the sequel to the 1996 Sega Saturn title ''[[NiGHTS into Dreams]]''. It is the fourth game developed by [[Sonic Team]] with [[Takashi Iizuka]], the head of the United States branch and one of the designers of the original as game producer, game director, and lead game designer. Like the original, the game is set in the dream world of Nightopia, which is under threat from nightmare beings called Nightmaren, and the gameplay is based around the flight of a jester-like rebel Nightmaren named NiGHTS.
 
 
 
==Story==
 
Like the original game, ''Nights: Journey of Dreams'' is set in the dream world of Nightopia, which is under threat from nightmare-like beings called Nightmaren. William Taylor and Helen Cartwright are the two new chosen dreamers. Will is an aspiring soccer player, while Helen is a violinist. They're both from a city similar to London called Bellbridge. Nights: Journey of Dreams Instruction Booklet pg. 4-5<br>
 
Will and Helen's stories are unique, though they share a similar structure at some points and some of the same cut scenes appear in both stories.  Just like in NiGHTS: into Dreams, Will and Helen have the Courage Ideya at the start of the game. 
 
 
 
===Characters===
 
* '''NiGHTS''' the game's main protagonist, whom Helen and William befriend.
 
* '''Helen Cartwright:''' one of the dreamers, in whose dreams the game takes place.

* '''Wizeman the Wicked:''' the game's main antagonist and the creator of Girania, Queen Bella, Donbalon, Bomamba, Chamelan and Cerberus as well as many other minor Nightmaren.
 
* '''Reala:''' Wizeman's chief henchman, appointed commander of the Nightmaren, and NiGHTS' rival.  Reala is wearing a gold eyeplate called a "persona" that is based on the Mardi Gras cat's eye mask.
