SEGA has only made two Nights games. The first entry came out for the SEGA Saturn in 1996, followed by a sequel on Wii about a decade later. Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka was heavily involved with both titles, and it sounds like he’d be interesting in seeing it return one day.
In an interview with LADbible, Iizuka noted that he’d “love to return to Nights.” He went on to say, “maybe in the future I can bring Nights back to people.”

What is Mr. Mime? He’s obviously a Pokemon, but beyond that, you may not be able to get much of an answer. That’s because even The Pokemon Company seems to be unsure of what Mr. Mime actually is.
Detective Pikachu director Rob Letterman was speaking with The Pokemon Company during the early stages of the film. When Letterman asked what the character is, he was told, “We don’t know.” The Pokemon Company also wasn’t keen on having Mr. Mime in Detective Pikachu since “they weren’t sure what he was or whether he’d work well on the screen,” according to art director Ravi Bansal.
Bansal and visual effects supervisor Erik Nordby shared the following about Mr. Mime in an interview with Time:

SEGA Ages has seen a strong response overseas, but disappointing reception in Japan
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
According to SEGA Ages senior producer Kagasei Shimomura, the overseas reception to the series has been much higher than anticipated. Sonic, Out Run, and Alex Kidd in Miracle World have received an especially big response, particularly in Europe.
Unfortunately, things aren’t going quite as well in Japan. Shimomura and supervisor Yosuke Okunari indicated that sales have been a bit slow and they need to appeal to its Japanese fan base. Shimomura added that SEGA Ages on Switch has been selling less than half as well as the 3DS classics that were developed a few years ago.
