Welcome to “A Blast From The Past,” a new OSV feature that will spotlight classic interviews that I conducted when I was writing for Music4Games. Why reprint old interviews, you ask? Well, unfortunately Music4Games has shut its doors, taking all its content with it, and thereby making some of the most exciting interviews I’ve conducted no longer available on the ‘Net. Myself and others thought it’d be a huge disservice to let some of these interviews disappear forever, so here they are, back from the dead! We’ll be running a new interview approximately once a month, so be sure to watch out for some of these high-profile interviews in the future!
We’re starting with a fun interview with Tomoko Sasaki and Naofumi Hataya of the NiGHTS series. This took place right before the release of NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams was released on the Wii in December 2007, and fans weren’t quite sure what to expect from the game or its music. Given how the game was received, I don’t suppose there will be a great opportunity to run NiGHTS-themed content as there likely won’t be a sequel in the near future, so I thought we could start with this one.
Join us as we venture into the past and discuss NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams with Tomoko Sasaki and Naofumi Hataya after the jump! (more…)
