NiGHTS sequel release date, uh … released

Moments ago, as I lie asleep in my bed, I got a weird tingling sensation in the back of my head. Having felt this sensation before, I knew it meant one of two things: first, that my wife just went into labor and my daughter was finally being born or second, Sega has finally dropped a release date for NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. Unfortunately, as I rolled over, I noticed my still extremely preggo wife sleeping soundly, so I rushed to the computer to find the following tidbit courtesy of Siliconera:

All you NiGHTS fans mark December 18 on your calendar. The long awaited sequel to NiGHTS arrives in North America then, only a mere five days after Japan gets it.

They go on to state that Europe is being screwed yet again, and in the worst case of neglect since the US took half a millennia to put a stop to Hitler’s shenanigans, the PAL territories won’t be seeing NiGHTS until 2008.  If it makes you foreigners feel better though, we envy your universal healthcare and Kylie Minogue.
