Right st1ker. How to get an A on night's. Play like normal...Once you've got the orb thingy DONT hit the night's gate. Instead FLY over it and do the course over and over until you nearly run out of time THEN fly into the gate.... That's the addicting factor of Nights...racking up the score with what time you have left by not completing until the very last second.
Man, I wish I had the copies of NiGHTS into Dreams series right now. Those games looked really fun to play! So, yeah, I'd like to see this series make a comeback soon!
I'm actually surprised I didn't know about a few of these, NiGHTS was my SHIT in high school, even got me into studying dreams and psychology. Though, the only entries here I was unaware of were the official website games and the slot machine. I really like the art used for the slot machine though, it's the Journey of Dreams NiGHTS design but it uses detailed 2D art instead of the 3D renders you only ever see of that design, and it looks really nice. Makes me appreciate that design more, even if I'll always prefer the original into Dreams look, creepy flesh hands and all.
I remember reading about Sega filing the Nights Dream Wheel copyright and people assuming it might mean a new entry. Only to find out it was just a slot machine.
This was and still is my favorite childhood game. I wanted to say, I owned, and played all the hardware just to play this on my GBA. PSO and Billy Hatcher. I’ve been listening to its sound track regularly since the year this game came out. I ended up playing many hours of PSO2 in the process.
@@st1ka Hence why I think people that can mod or make games, should give this series a try. And fans who want to see their favorite dream jester again would be nice. Look at how many Sonic fan games, and not much for other IP's from Sega. Heck NiGHTS gets really impressive fanart and comics done by fans, meaning the series is still loved.
@@Thedragonlover95 I assume modders haven't really focused on this series because the fan base is small. I mean, even this video was kind of a flop for the channel 😅
over here in the UK I picked up Christmas Nights from my local Comet store & it was free without needing any purchase, loved that game as a freebie & that Sonic bit was great at the time
my friends and i are absolute die-hard NiGHTS fans, and when Dream Wheel (the slot machine) was released, we were all furious 😭 we’d heard of the title NiGHTS: Dream Wheel and we’re assuming it’d be a Switch release, it’s so sad
As someone who is a big fan of pinball games, and loves Sonic Pinball Party I can definitely say that it's waaaay too incredibly difficult! I couldn't even beat the story mode with an emulator and save state's! It's actually harder than playing pinball in real life😂
Great video! Forgot about NiGHTS being in Sega Superstars, seeing that footage makes me wish for a open world NiGHTS game where you can just fly around freely and loop around enemies and spheres like Sonic's cyloop
After that sparkling dumpster fire(Great cut scenes, bad gameplay) we call Ballan Wonder World, yuji Naka left Sega and ANY possible chance of the Nights into dreams franchise getting another game fell on a HARD 0%, a remake is all we can hope for and thats IF yuji Naka comes back.
I didnt even know there was a single knights spinoff! Ok I knew about the Christmas knights thing as fhe first 3d appearance of a playable sonic in a video game but I didnt think the demo wouod be counted as a spinoff haha
I hope everyone realizes that getting a shockwave game working on a modern system is often a small miracle, just behind getting the Unity3d plugin for Flash working on a modern system.

Hey, I found that storybook on eBay! I think mine might be an original copy, considering its condition, and not one from the PS2 reprint. I feel very much the same about the original NiGHTS as I do about Puyo Puyo. I like it, it's fun, but man, am I terrible at it.
Gotta be honest... The only version of Nights I played was the PS2 remake. Unfortunately, despite being a Eyetoy fan, I didn't found a Sega Superstars copy at the time, because the minigames on this compilation were kinda fun.
Stika, here is some advice on NiGHTS: when you first appear on the first level, and you're elliot, walk around the level and avoid the clock and collect the blue things FROM THE GROUND. Once you have 20, go to the gazebo and be NiGHTS. Destroy the thing right away, and spend the rest of the first level getting bonus and making chains. You will get an A for the first level at least, and it will make the rest of the level get a better average score
The GBA score attack game wasn't actually that heavy on requirements. Most people with a gamecube probably already had the GBA. Then you just needed the GBA to GC link cable which at the time was like a $11.99 piece of hardware. In PSO you'd get the download by completing a special quest which was an awesome award.
The GBA minigame was the first Nights game I ever played. I remember seeing a review of the Saturn original on TV but I didn't own a Saturn until many years later so when I found out about the minigame I brute forced trough Billy Hatcher to unlock it.
@@st1ka well, like you said. There's not much too it, but I was just happy to finally (kind of) play it. I do have the original now though and it's obviously a lot better 😅
Take a look at some footage of Phosphor (the multiplayer first-person shooter) for an idea of what Shockwave was capable of back in 2005. :) Good job getting such an ancient game up and running! I bought a cheap loose copy of Sega Superstars for my PS2 assuming it would be a collection of old Sega titles so was surprised when it was a bunch of EyeToy minigames, but the NiGHTS one was indeed good fun. I'll need to track down a copy of Sonic Pinball Party too, that looks great!
I remember seeing a lot of ads and posters on this game when I still bought GamePro or EGM magazines, but I never really saw how the game played. The Saturn really wasn't big in our country. Too expensive.
@@st1ka Especially since the GBA is totally able to do decent 2.5D stuff. Sega didn't see Nights as big enough for a proper game on handheld (while Klonoa had 3).
@@st1ka to be fair, one hit wouldn't have been able to save something that was mostly Dead on Arrival. Since the graphics gigolos in the West were creaming their pants over the PS1.
While this was a fine watch on its own, and really neat to see old Shockwave games in action, I'm now more concerned to know what the hell "Revenge of the Cow-Boy" is after seeing it on Sega's old website.
That's wild. I tried to find any information on it on the Internet Archive and there's something that looks playable in DOSBox but it appears to just not work. Judging from the screenshots the graphics look like they came straight out of Klik and Play, too. A likely testament to its age, I'd bet.
On sticking point on unlocking the Nights minigame via Phanasty Star Online, unless you owned the later PSO:ep1&2 Plus release, the quest its locked behind online play.
I remember putting in the work to clear the mission on PSO so I could link my GBA to my Gamecube and play Nights Score Attack. Was it fun? No. Was it worth it? It's about the journey, not the destination.
@@st1ka 🤔 At the same time tho, I appreciate that NiGHTS didn’t become franchised. There’s something special about things that are finite. Like people I guess. I never played Journey into Dreams but, eek, that may be a fine game but it looks like it didn’t get what made the original game special. Like, dialogue and a story? Nah man. More you explain something as strange and wonderful as NiGHTS . . . well, the less strange and wonderful it is. In my opinion anyways
So on brand for Sega to make you buy a half dozen console accessories just to play one game... They can't even stop themselves even when it's not one of their own consoles!

St1ka, as always, made a great release! Lots of interesting and useful information! I've never played the game, maybe in the future I'll give it a chance) Like button pressed) Friends, do not pass by, put a like, subscribe to the St1ka channel, who has made such a good video for you! It's not difficult for you, in general, but it's useful, necessary and important for the author of the channel to create high-quality content in the future, and promote on RUclips :) There is still a lot of different and interesting content waiting for you ahead!
Nights was a series that all magazines said was amazing, but I never liked it despite I really tried. I bought the game on Steam and never saw the appeal.
@@st1ka Well that's where I disagree, except for the CD audio part. There were some pretty popular synths, such as Korg's M1 and 01W or the Roland Sound Canvas and JV series, or even sample CDs a la X-Static Goldmine. Those synths and samples all contributed to pretty distinct sonorities, although those sonorities are even more distinct between publishers and composers, like example the reliance Capcom had on the S-50. So in theory it's not that hard, you use the SNES samples, you backtrack to their sources so you have higher quality samples, you slap those on a midi of yours, add some optional effects and voila! (though it's more complex than that in practice)
Not to take anything a way from the gameplay, but maybe basing a game franchise around a harlequin inspired by Jung's concept of the Shadow wasn't the best commercial decision... And it's definitely not a mistakeYuji Naka would make again🙄
Is it even fair to compare Sega workers that has a lot of crap they have to do behind the scenes for rushed products to make flash games to Newgrounds people that just makes these in there spare time 😅
a NiGHTS slot machine for a hotel in califOrnia? the game was inspired by mystere at the treasure Island hotel so why wouldnt they put it in there? I mean vegas period is better for slot machines
I’m a be honest. Those “bad” ports are just exposing how lame and boring the main game is. I don’t understand the hype for this game. I remember playing it in the 90s. I was drawn in by the hype and marketing of all the game magazines at the time. I was so excited that first hour. But the longer I played the more I realized there wasn’t much to this game. The bosses added a little bit of variety but overall I felt like the industry had oversold me in this. The graphics were impressive for the time but the game itself was so uncompelling. I didn’t event bother past the second boss. I wish the music was better too. Let me correct that. The music isn’t bad I just… I dunno I’m not into it. Thank God I also had Sonic R. Once you get used to the handling in Sonic R it’s a LOT of fun. Also the music is godly.
The game is a bit weird. To be honet I'm not Nights' biggest fan. I think it's neat idea, but one that I still have some trouble wrapping my head around
Thirty seconds into this video and I feel tempted to start a GoFundMe so that my countryman here can afford the services of a professional voice actor.

I've never played the game, maybe in the future I'll give it a chance) Like button pressed) Friends, do not pass by, put a like, subscribe to the St1ka channel, who has made such a good video for you! It's not difficult for you, in general, but it's useful, necessary and important for the author of the channel to create high-quality content in the future, and promote on RUclips :) There is still a lot of different and interesting content waiting for you ahead!
thank you so much! :D
When I say your name I go STTTTTRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Just thought you should know.
haha that's hilarious
NiGHTS Into Dreams Slot Machine 💀💀💀
for adult fans lol
Where can I find that Link Challenge flash game?
there's an app called "flashpoint" which lets you download all these games
Nights was a series that all magazines said was amazing, but I never liked it despite I really tried. I bought the game on Steam and never saw the appeal.
yeah it's definitely its own weird thing. The game took years to grow on me.
Maybe you'll need a 32-bit intro 🤔
Yeah I thought about that, but there's no intro song variation that would fit 😅
@@st1ka Maybe I can do it.
ah it's different. What I mean is, because the 32-bit generation used CDs, there's no type of sound that you'd associate with 32-bits ^^
@@st1ka Well that's where I disagree, except for the CD audio part. There were some pretty popular synths, such as Korg's M1 and 01W or the Roland Sound Canvas and JV series, or even sample CDs a la X-Static Goldmine. Those synths and samples all contributed to pretty distinct sonorities, although those sonorities are even more distinct between publishers and composers, like example the reliance Capcom had on the S-50.
So in theory it's not that hard, you use the SNES samples, you backtrack to their sources so you have higher quality samples, you slap those on a midi of yours, add some optional effects and voila! (though it's more complex than that in practice)
17:56 What sonic flash game is that one?
ah I don't know the name. I think it was in Japanese. You can get it from flashpoint
16:22 Wait, is it still possible to play this game? I thought the site was down
I downloaded an app called flashpoint which lets you download a ton of flash games that were archived by fans.
14:02 I HAD ONE OF THOSE HOLY SHIT
I don't swear
But...
WTF if that thumbnail?!?!?!?
Believe it or not, it's in the official code for the sega saturn. It's an unused model of nights
WHY?!?!?!?!!!?
@@The-Crystal-Warrior haha right? It's so weird that I HAD to add it to the thumbnail
Sometimes you make some weird thumbnails
@@The-Crystal-Warrior Oh, I LOVE making weird thumbnails haha
Not to take anything a way from the gameplay, but maybe basing a game franchise around a harlequin inspired by Jung's concept of the Shadow wasn't the best commercial decision... And it's definitely not a mistakeYuji Naka would make again🙄
haha
Comment for engagement
Is it even fair to compare Sega workers that has a lot of crap they have to do behind the scenes for rushed products to make flash games to Newgrounds people that just makes these in there spare time 😅
I mean, I get the time limitations, but they felt so disappointing when compared to stuff from fans :P
@@st1ka You could at least compare it to another official companies flash games like Nintendo's mission in snowdriftland 😅
@@FukuritaMariko i didn't want to deviate from the topic tbh 😅
a NiGHTS slot machine for a hotel in califOrnia? the game was inspired by mystere at the treasure Island hotel so why wouldnt they put it in there? I mean vegas period is better for slot machines
can't say I know much about slot machines :P
I’m a be honest. Those “bad” ports are just exposing how lame and boring the main game is. I don’t understand the hype for this game. I remember playing it in the 90s. I was drawn in by the hype and marketing of all the game magazines at the time.
I was so excited that first hour. But the longer I played the more I realized there wasn’t much to this game. The bosses added a little bit of variety but overall I felt like the industry had oversold me in this. The graphics were impressive for the time but the game itself was so uncompelling. I didn’t event bother past the second boss.
I wish the music was better too. Let me correct that. The music isn’t bad I just… I dunno I’m not into it.
Thank God I also had Sonic R. Once you get used to the handling in Sonic R it’s a LOT of fun. Also the music is godly.
The game is a bit weird. To be honet I'm not Nights' biggest fan. I think it's neat idea, but one that I still have some trouble wrapping my head around
Hello guys im from the future 😌
Hello future man!
@@st1kahehe
14:05 So you think Nintendo’s Game and Watch is awful too?
personally? Not really a fan of game and watch
Never cared for this game.
I remember playing it upon release for a couple minutes, then never picked the controller back up.
Next.
It's definitely the type that needs to grow on you
Idk Whats This Game But Ik About Sonic 💀💀💀
Nights was Sega's attempt at making another sonic
If you never played a NiGHTS game then you gotta play it
Thirty seconds into this video and I feel tempted to start a GoFundMe so that my countryman here can afford the services of a professional voice actor.
I wouldn't want a voice actor even if he came free
And then Nights got a spiritual successor in the form of Balan Wonderworld
