It's the start of a new year and we find two big rumors floating around the net, surprising us out from the left field. They might not be as big for some of our readers, but for those who have played the concerned video games before (both of which come from the Sega Saturn), the prospect of a possible new installment/remake/sequel to the said games is exciting enough. These rumors were already hinted at before, but for them to suddenly resurface right now comes as a bit of a shock.

Radiant Silvergun 3?

A list of Japan releases came up at G-rev and soon enough, Siliconera sniffed it out with translations of the games. The first is Treasure's Radiant Silvergun 3 as part of the side-scrolling shooter series that came out originally for the Sega Saturn. It's on the Xbox 360 list, and pretty much possible since we already heard of Treasure supposedly working on a shoot-'em-up title for the 360.

NiGHTS?

The second surprise title appeared on the Wii list, and the reason why we're surprised is because the last we heard of this rumor was way back early of last year when the Wii was still called Revolution. And to think, at that time, the rumor was based on hearsay of a drunken conversation. G-rev has listed a NiGHTS Into Dreams game from Sega, but whether or not this is a remake of the original game for Sega Saturn, nothing has been confirmed yet.

It's only the first few days of January, and things are starting to heat up already. Will these rumors be doused to ash and coals? We'll keep you guys posted!
I really hope these two rumors are true.

Oh yeah, and this rumor is originally from here:

Ditto. Can anyone shed some light on what kind of game this is?

It was a schmup (vertical or horizontal scrolling shooter) and Radiant Silvergun is regarded as the best by many. Copies of it for the Sega Saturn, provided you can even find anyone selling it, go for $350 AUS and up.

NiGHTS was a platformer available on the Saturn which was also very highly regarded.

If this is true then all I can say is WOW.

This would be sweet if this actually happened. Im a huge IKARUGA fan. Heres some gameplay vids for Ikaruga , which was the sequel to Radiant Silvergun. Im sure this new game in development (if it is) may try some new things , but if not , you can get a decent idea of what it may be like by checking out the vid link.
