Sega consistently came through with the heat on both the arcade and console sides of things. They really had the 90s vg industry on lock and it isn’t debatable imo. Only Capcom, Konami, Namco, and Nintendo really came close. Sonic, Streets of Rage, NiGHTS, etc they pushed the envelope every which way. They were just terrible at business and it is something that plagues them to this day.
Sony ruined gaming by routing mainstreamers into it and stuff like this was pushed away in favor of games where hooked were shot and raped in the backs of stolen cars (Grand Theft Auto).
@@gchijioke12 Like don't get me wrong, there is a lot to love about Sega in the 90s and they did some great stuff, but everything they did in the second half of the decade failed commercially on the global scale. It sucks too, because I love the Dreamcast so much I named my dog after it.
Old 90's 3D looks dreamlike. Which is fitting for the theme of the game. Journey of Dreams look too "clean" that it makes it more like it is set in the real world than a dream...
I remember playing this on my Sega Saturn. Had no idea what was going or what to do in the game back then... and still have no idea what's going on watching this video now -_-"
They're pretty much in a dream land where they keep having nightmares. By defeating the bosses, you see the character little by little overcoming his/her fears. I didn't know either but just the ability to fly around endlessly with awesome music had me hooked on this game.
In my opinion, this game is an absolute masterpiece... the controls take some getting used to, but once you master them, its so fluid. Sega actually developed a game-specific controller (the Saturn 3D controller) for Nights which helped tremendously. And yes, once you play through each stage a few times and learn it, you become better at stringing together loops and orbs. You'll wish Nights was even faster... at least I did, lol. On my best run, I got 138 link in the Soft Museum level. Don't even get me started on the soundtrack. Brilliant!
i’m obsessed with this game still after owning the original one for Sega Saturn in 1996 my parents bought for me and my two siblings that Christmas 🎄✨🌟⭐️🤩 we got our friends neighbors addicted to playing it the soundtrack is so fire 🔥
I played this for the first time in 2020 and it is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Confusing at first but incredibly rewarding. So beautiful and will get you immersed. Sega knew how to get you feeling. Wish I played this when I was younger, I can tell it would’ve really impacted me.
My favorite game , and game soundtrack. Becoming powerful in our dreams, and overcoming our fears and nightmares. Sonic Teams greatest gift to the Sega Saturn 🪐
Watching the gameplay brings tears to my eyes because it has me thinking back on my childhood and it was an awesome childhood. The 90s was a wonderful decade to me! ❤❤
I remember playing this amazing videogame back there in 2000, more or less. I was 6 years old then and I used to play it in my cousin's Sega Saturn. You can't imagine how delighted I was at the time of playing this. It was visually astonishing in those times. What a beautiful videogame and such wonderful memories brings to me!
Call me crazy if you must, but I honestly feel NiGHTS has the potential to be adapted into a great anime or, dare I say it, a live-action and/or CGI animated movie, if done right by people who passionately understand the game, that is of course.
Awww so much happy memoryness! ^^ This was the first console game ever that me and my kids played. It came bundled with the Sega Saturn we bought along with the 3D controller, and my kids (and I) were just fascinated and thrilled with the lovely music and colors. The look and feel of this game was so upbeat, I am glad this was the game that introduced my kids to gaming ^^
Yes, now it is 2021. I played this game when I was in elementary school. I was used to buy this game and Sega Saturn again after adults. Now I am moving from Japan to the United States and is home thic. I saw this video for some reason. I want to return to the time of the wonderful memory. This game graphic is still beautiful and I feel that I am in a dream. Thanks to my parents who gave this game in my childhood. Someone, did you meet such a game recently?
I didn't own a Sega Saturn and wasnt mad that I didnt but this game always stood out to me and I always wanted to try it. Visually and sonicaly pleasing and the character looks super cool
I played this game as a kid, and they did such a great job of using the colorful visuals and music to represent one's hopes and fears that it scared the hell out of me for some reason. I bought the game again years later off the Playstation Store as an adult, and it STILL excited those same emotions in me. Truly, an excellent game.
I love this game ! I'm 32 now and had this when I was younger i remember playing it before bed in the conservatory and the magic it bought to me was just amazing I'm still a big kid at heart ?! I love gaming this game is still awesome
I played this on my Saturn only on a demo disc, never played the full game. Played it once or thrice or more only when Im bored, never bought the full game because I thought it was too childish for my likings (I was 13 that time). I thought other games were cooler. Today I am 38 years old, and by just watching this, I dont know why tears are welling up my eyes ☹️. This is an unfinished part of my childhood I need to go back to see it’s completion ☺️
Remember playing a demo of this around 96 or so at a Toys R Us. In those days, you could have sworn this was the pinnacle of graphics in video games. Everything looked so colorful and exciting and 3d. It's been crazy being part of the generation that saw nothing for technology, then witnessed it all blossom.
Funny thing is, Sonic Team (the same guys who made this game) later made an Astro Boy game, which also had lots of flying. Unfortunately, that game played more like Superman 64 than Nights. I don't think they learned much from Nights when they made that game.
Sem dúvidas um dos melhores jogos de saturn. Sua jogabilidade totalmente original, sua história incrível, mostrando as dificuldades de alcançar seus sonhos e como se motivar a continuar buscando-os e com uma coleção de tracks impecáveis. Acho que depois disso não é exagero considerá-lo tão magnifico.
Man I have a good memory of this game. I was four and my cousin played this for me and help me go to sleep. Honestly it was kind of like a story book and the music was really relaxing.
Want an alternative adventure? Play "chase" with the giant scary clock monster while human and on foot. the levels can be goofed around in as a human and have several neat things to do that boost your final level score. Just watch out for that scary f*cking clock!
One of my best friend growing up was this cool kid who had ALL the video games and he loved Sega. His family was rich and we weren’t so me and my brothers would go to his house and play video games, this was one of them. We all thought it was so cutting-edge and it was back then. Still don’t know wtf it’s about but NiGHTS is just classic Sonic Team.
Just remember: this, Ristar and Jet Set Radio died, but Sonic Forces and Shining Resonance Refrain exist in 2019. Clearly, SEGA knows what they're doing.
I would like to see someone do a video of them exploring the terrain. I always thought that was much more mind blowing, which was just the 3d detail in itself and how the water splashes when you step into shallow puddles and the detail in the lumps and bumps of the terrain. I like that SEGA really went in with the details that didn't really relate to the objective of the game. I guess I'm one of those people who can be fascinated by the most simplist of things.
J'aimais beaucoup jouer à ce jeu, et j'y pense souvent quand on me parle de qualité de jeu vidéo, car celle-ci, pour l'époque, m'avait impressionnée, je l'avais trouvée très belle. Et le jeu est bien, il donne une impression de légèreté. Hey, bientôt le Million d'abonnés, je vois ;).
I remember playing this on a demo disc back in the day when Sega Saturn came out when I was a kid. It gave me weird creepy vibes with the music and all for some reason lol but I liked it. I just thought about it and looked it up and the nostalgia hit me. I need to get a Sega Saturn and play this again.
I remember after playing this game over and over I made my own games with it. I would stay as Elliot or Claris in the levels and run around on the bottom exploring and seeing how long I could survive before the alarm clock got me. Man that clock gains so much speed the longer you explore. It got so fast trying to get me that it rivaled Sonic, haha.
Had this on my Saturn demo disc and played it more then any actual game I had. Bought it a few years ago for Nostalgia purposes and didn't play it. Recently got myself an old Sony Trinitron so now I'm looking forward to reliving my childhood again. What a gem of a game.
Looks like a great game. I’ve never had a sega Saturn before nor have I ever played this game before. The nights spinball in casinopolis from sonic adventure brought me here. I would always see the main purple character playing that part in Sonic Adventure on the sega Dreamcast as a kid and always wondered what the game of came from was like. If or whenever I get a sega Saturn, I’ll definitely get this game alongside sonic R, sonic 3D blast and sonic jam
I had gotten this game back in the day with the Sega Saturn bundle: the console + this game + that round 3D controller pad. It was fun and gorgeous to watch this game but I really didn't know what was going on lol!
I don't think anyone knew what the hell was going on. 😂 I got that bundle too and I don't think a booklet was included because it wasn't the tall case NiGHTS. I just flew around doing random shit. 😂
I thought this game was so fun. I was the only person I knew that owned a Sega Saturn lol. I owned a PS One and N64 but started my 4th gen consoles with Saturn of all things hahah.
This game deserve some love, maybe a remake or remaster, it would be very chill and beautiful. SEGA: Whats dat? A Sonic Forces costume of Nights Into Dreams? Sure 🗿
10 year old me had NO idea what was up with this game! This playthrough makes 30 year old me (woah) realize it was a super awesome design. Vividly remember running away from the first boss and not grasping for the life of me how to win that level...
@Kevin Dooly I remember walking into Toys R Us like a boss and writing that check for 580$ (System, two games, extra controller, taxes). The dude at the game counter looked at me like I was stark raving nuts. I was day one when they surprise launched it during E3 in 95. That was like 3 weeks pay for my highschool ass working 30 hours a week.
Some people have been questioning the Pia/level music. Ignoring the fact it's being played too quickly in this video, NiGHTS has music tied to the mood of its inhabitants, a.k.a. A-Life. Each theme (aside of Twin Seeds, because there is no A-Life to speak of) comprises of between five and seven sections, and for each, there are four moods - 0 (default happy), 1 (ecstatic), 2 (indifferent) and 3 (annoyed). Defeating Nightmaren, hatching eggs in front of Nightopians etc. raises the mood, dashing at or killing Nightopians etc. lowers it. There are two ways you can check this: 1) Pause, then press L+R+Y at the same time to view the "DSS Info" (a string of numbers, default zeroes, 0000000 for Spring Valley), or 2) the Melody Box in Christmas NiGHTS, by selecting that particular level, albeit ordered 1-0-2-3 The reason for Spring Valley's music not being default (i.e. 0000000) in this video is because of a pre-existing A-Life file from a previous game - it's actually 0303000, not surprising given the number killed in front of our eyes in just that one level. :) Improving mood can be frustrating, however, as the happier the Nightopians get, the more likely they can be in the way of your paraloops, so you must either abort such loops and in turn ruin your score, or risk killing one or two.
Back in the day,the Sega Saturn was considered the definitive 32-bits console.There were many great games,like Virtua Cop,A lot of remade Sega Genesis and Mega Drive games,not to mention exclusive games like this one and Virtua Fighter 2.Did you know...the Sega Saturn is more powerful than the PS1?But this was exactly the reason why it failed,because it was incredibly hard to produce games for it.I guess Sony won fair and square...Final Fantasy VII,MGS,Medal of Honor,they're all great.
Being a kid growing up in the 90s and transitioning from 2D to 3D console video games truly made you feel like you were part of something special and revolutionary, and it was!
I played this game once when I was like 6 emulated on my uncle's pc and 12 years later, I still remember it. Thank you uncle for making me play this game and REZ
I got this game in the XBOX live gold many, many years ago, my father also played this on his Sega Saturn when he was young, I don't know how this game got forgotten, I really like it, especially the OSTs.
Well it looks like I come back every couple of years to comment, lol. Now playing the remastered version on my XB series X. Nice to still be able to load this classic up and play through it!
How about Teleroboxor? Even the original could have been enough to give you PTSD from the likes of exploding cracked screen or drill hat grinding you up.
I am not gonna lie, when I bought this game with the 3D controller, I couldn't get past the title. But since I bought it, I am like "I'll give a shot." Soon as I started playing, I couldn't stop. Really interesting game. Definitely give it a try.
Remember trading my mega drive and mega cd in for the Saturn and this game was included and I loved it reminds me of better times in life for some reason
omg ! so much nostalgy ... our father bought for me and my brother on x mass 1996 sega satur +night christmas edition , it just destroyed our minds , thx a lot for giving back awsome memories , ....
The best Graphics in the world can't make a game fun... a fun game makes a game fun, And this game was all kinds of fun. One my Favorite games of all time 🖤

Sega was amazing in the 90's. So many games which weren't as successful as they deserved
Sega consistently came through with the heat on both the arcade and console sides of things. They really had the 90s vg industry on lock and it isn’t debatable imo. Only Capcom, Konami, Namco, and Nintendo really came close. Sonic, Streets of Rage, NiGHTS, etc they pushed the envelope every which way. They were just terrible at business and it is something that plagues them to this day.
I used to want to play this game when I saw it in magazines...now that I've watch this I'm glad I didnt. This game is trash.
@@gchijioke12 I was hoping for Billy Hatcher & the Giant Egg to get a sequel, too, but it never happened😕
Sony ruined gaming by routing mainstreamers into it and stuff like this was pushed away in favor of games where hooked were shot and raped in the backs of stolen cars (Grand Theft Auto).

Playing this game you feel like you are cleaning your heart.
I miss unintentionally creepy FMV cutscenes like these. There’s something so intriguing about them.
Oh yes, me too!
That's 90s CGI for you. lol
I def agree
Old 90's 3D looks dreamlike.
Which is fitting for the theme of the game.
Journey of Dreams look too "clean" that it makes it more like it is set in the real world than a dream...
@@ikagurawell put..
Never played this, but it certainly gives me that sense of nostalgia that we all experience like a "once in a lifetime" moment.
Me either, but I do own the sequel
How can one experience nostalgia without experiencing the topic in the first place? Do you know what nostalgia is?
Apparently there’s a Christmas version
@@juelz4516maybe because the gameplay and graphics remind them of other games from that era. A lot of sega games had the similar format and graphics
@@KRobinson-ko1ne Yes! Christmas Nights
I remember playing this on my Sega Saturn. Had no idea what was going or what to do in the game back then... and still have no idea what's going on watching this video now -_-"
You know what I do know? ..... I love you
raul yanez cortes no
They're pretty much in a dream land where they keep having nightmares. By defeating the bosses, you see the character little by little overcoming his/her fears. I didn't know either but just the ability to fly around endlessly with awesome music had me hooked on this game.
JackieFuckingChan Wtf
JackieFuckingChan Creep
NiGHTS has such a unique playstyle. The fact that this game doesn’t also make money like Sonic does is insulting.
Lol… having never played the game, I can watch this video and tell there is definitely a reason why this game didn’t draw like Sonic did/does
One of the most underrated game in the video game story. This game is so great.
I dunno, this game was absolutely popular the time it came out, the cult following this game has is astounding.
XiwantD just like the Saturn itself. It's a much great console that many people think
XiwantD it's not that it's underrated, it's that it was on a console that completely failed
The SEGA Ambassador Segata Sanshiro will force you to have one
I agree that it's not underrated, even in Poland game magazines wrote about this and there was some kind of hype.
The only way I can describe how I feel when I'm flying through the air playing Nights Into Dreams is 'pure joy'.
In my opinion, this game is an absolute masterpiece... the controls take
some getting used to, but once you master them, its so fluid. Sega
actually developed a game-specific controller (the Saturn 3D controller)
for Nights which helped tremendously. And yes, once you play through
each stage a few times and learn it, you become better at stringing
together loops and orbs. You'll wish Nights was even faster... at least I
did, lol. On my best run, I got 138 link in the Soft Museum level.
Don't even get me started on the soundtrack. Brilliant!
OMG The different Variations of the same melody🤌🏾I love the whole soundtrack for this Volume but "Know Thyself" is on repeat👌🏾
My childhood right here. My pure Childhood. I still get chills hearing that opening remembering how fun it was to play this game
yesss fall 1996
2021
@Light There is a PC port on Steam if you would like to play the game
Yes! I’ve been searching for this game for 25 years and just remember it now. The music is haunting and almost sad.
I was 13
When I think of my love for gaming, this game resides at the front of my mind. Much love to the developers for all of their hard work.
One of the greatest video games of all time. What a 1990s masterpiece this game is.
i’m obsessed with this game still after owning the original one for Sega Saturn in 1996 my parents bought for me and my two siblings that Christmas 🎄✨🌟⭐️🤩 we got our friends neighbors addicted to playing it
the soundtrack is so fire 🔥
I played this for the first time in 2020 and it is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Confusing at first but incredibly rewarding. So beautiful and will get you immersed. Sega knew how to get you feeling. Wish I played this when I was younger, I can tell it would’ve really impacted me.
I don't get the moral or objective of the game. How do you beat the levels? I've played as a child just flying around.
Easily the best soundtrack in all of gaming. I haven't found anything that comes close. This soundtrack is so sublime and relaxing.
Try the Ecco the dolphin soundtracks
Spyro sounded great too
My favorite game , and game soundtrack. Becoming powerful in our dreams, and overcoming our fears and nightmares. Sonic Teams greatest gift to the Sega Saturn 🪐
The satisfaction of chaining all those rings and gems was something else. Looking at it now gives a sense of vertigo lol
wow. the music so ahead of its time. beautiful
Really is one of the best gaming soundtracks of all time. I still fall asleep to this soundtrack to this day.
Beautiful Princess
Beautiful Princesses
Watching the gameplay brings tears to my eyes because it has me thinking back on my childhood and it was an awesome childhood. The 90s was a wonderful decade to me! ❤❤
I heard that Shigeru Miyamoto said that this was the only game he was jealous of because he didn’t come up with it.
Thanks for the upload... takes me back to the 90's
I remember playing this amazing videogame back there in 2000, more or less. I was 6 years old then and I used to play it in my cousin's Sega Saturn.

Super Sullivan agreed
Super Sullivan I remember seeing a manga of this when I was younger, I don't even know if that exists anymore
It is now
IKR
No live-action, please. Heavily stylized works don't work well in live-action (see Dragonball Evolution). Otherwise, I agree with you.
I miss games that relied on abstract things and surrealism instead of immersion and cinematic experience.
I recently got a Saturn and got this game and Sonic R. Both are awesome!
I'm tearing up. We all used to be little kids you guys. My sister and I would play this together, and now we both have kids of our own.
I remember playing this game in 2001 when I got both a Saturn and Dreamcast for my birthday, and I though this was better than Mario 64.
Fiuuuuuiick! Don’t make me into these child hood feels I lost!!!
I'm tearing up from all the nightopians they're killing
The Powerpuff Sisters
The Rowdyruff Brothers
I used to have this game when I was really young. Too bad at the time I didn't quite understand the game. I was like 4 or something...
Why in the world would your parents buy you a Saturn as practically a toddler
Bro… I beat the game and STILL don’t understand it 😂😂
Awww so much happy memoryness! ^^ This was the first console game ever that me and my kids played.

Wow, this would have been an amazing introduction to console gaming. Talk about setting the bar high!
Yes, now it is 2021. I played this game when I was in elementary school. I was used to buy this game and Sega Saturn again after adults. Now I am moving from Japan to the United States and is home thic. I saw this video for some reason. I want to return to the time of the wonderful memory.

This was my older brother's favorite game since him having this Sega Saturn!! Brings nostalgic to my eyes!
Totally mind blowing for it’s time, there wasn’t anything like it.
Man, this game feels like a whole fever dream.
Great game, I'll never forget it. I remember loving this game so much because It was so fun to play.
I love this game ! I'm 32 now and had this when I was younger i remember playing it before bed in the conservatory and the magic it bought to me was just amazing I'm still a big kid at heart ?! I love gaming this game is still awesome
Love reading the comments. Everybody knows how special and timeless this game is ♥️
I remember playing this game in the mid 90's in blockbuster and not knowing what the hell I was doing!
I miss this time in my life... so many fun memories
sega obviousely dit know how to program their saturn,this game proved what the saturn was capable off,
Square Soft Saturn
Shonen Jump's Saturn
a bunch of fuzzy garbage?
I played this on my Saturn only on a demo disc, never played the full game. Played it once or thrice or more only when Im bored, never bought the full game because I thought it was too childish for my likings (I was 13 that time). I thought other games were cooler.

Im drowning in nostalgia😍😅😎😋😇💣👍🌟🔥
***** huh?
If EVER a game needed a "Remastered" treatment, it's This one (I refuse to count the one for the Wii)
A remastered version was released years ago on console and windows
Remember playing a demo of this around 96 or so at a Toys R Us. In those days, you could have sworn this was the pinnacle of graphics in video games. Everything looked so colorful and exciting and 3d. It's been crazy being part of the generation that saw nothing for technology, then witnessed it all blossom.
nights flying through those rings reminds me of superman 64 but except this game is actually good lol (superman 64 sucks lol)
Edward Johnson Imagine the hypothetical look on Lex Luthor's face if Nights showed up to take on the ring "mazes".
yep that would be funny lol
Funny thing is, Sonic Team (the same guys who made this game) later made an Astro Boy game, which also had lots of flying. Unfortunately, that game played more like Superman 64 than Nights.
I don't think they learned much from Nights when they made that game.
I agree tbh
I think that game was all about flying the the rings
One of my all time favorite games! I once strung together 138 link in the Soft Museum!

Fortnite OMG
Shonen Soft Saturn
@@sweetsambra ?
I literally played this for days at a time, with the curtains closed, in a world of my own.
Want an alternative adventure? Play "chase" with the giant scary clock monster while human and on foot. the levels can be goofed around in as a human and have several neat things to do that boost your final level score.
Just watch out for that scary f*cking clock!
I enjoyed the human part better
Still have the Saturn and this game with the special controller in the box. Also have this game on the Wii. What a classic epic game

I'm doing that now. It's great. I almost bought it from the Xbox store but I decided to play it on Saturn.

Had this on my Saturn demo disc and played it more then any actual game I had. Bought it a few years ago for Nostalgia purposes and didn't play it. Recently got myself an old Sony Trinitron so now I'm looking forward to reliving my childhood again. What a gem of a game.
How much was the Trinitron?
loved this game! thanks man for bring back my memories
I didn’t have a Saturn, but I would pour over any ads or articles about Nights in game magazines. Always looked so amazing.
Looks like a great game. I’ve never had a sega Saturn before nor have I ever played this game before. The nights spinball in casinopolis from sonic adventure brought me here.

If or whenever I get a sega Saturn, I’ll definitely get this game alongside sonic R, sonic 3D blast and sonic jam
It's so interesting to see Nights references so proudly in a Dreamcast game like Sonic Adventure. Obviously Sonic Team were very proud of this game.
I was the only kid in my high school that I was aware of that had a saturn. I miss it.
The song at the end of the game made me cry reminiscing on a much simpler time in my life (my childhood) playing this game on a Saturday morning ❤️

Your friends are bad people. Good people got a Saturn.
I only had the demo for this game but I played it over and over again. Couldn’t get enough of it
Sega Saturn is underrated af.
fact
This game deserve some love, maybe a remake or remaster, it would be very chill and beautiful.
SEGA: Whats dat? A Sonic Forces costume of Nights Into Dreams? Sure 🗿
10 year old me had NO idea what was up with this game! This playthrough makes 30 year old me (woah) realize it was a super awesome design. Vividly remember running away from the first boss and not grasping for the life of me how to win that level...
this looks like it was revolutionary for its time.
Bl@z!n@$!@nTyr@nn!©MØnk3y Its kind if hard to say. It came out a few months before Mario 64 and Crash from psx. Nights is really underrated. The worlds/stages are amazing, the music fantastic, and colors in this game are breathtaking. It should be mentioned along Mario 64 and Crash from that era.
@Kevin Dooly I remember walking into Toys R Us like a boss and writing that check for 580$ (System, two games, extra controller, taxes). The dude at the game counter looked at me like I was stark raving nuts. I was day one when they surprise launched it during E3 in 95. That was like 3 weeks pay for my highschool ass working 30 hours a week.
It was.
Mario 64 was much better and more revolutionary than this though, I'm not going to sugar-coat Nights.
@@maforo85 yesss 🙌🏿
NiGHTS is a beautiful creature.
when this came out i thought this was the future of gaming - it looked so cool
Favorite game as a latchkey kid. 😂Sega Saturn Memories bought me here 😢😢😀
Some people have been questioning the Pia/level music. Ignoring the fact it's being played too quickly in this video, NiGHTS has music tied to the mood of its inhabitants, a.k.a. A-Life. Each theme (aside of Twin Seeds, because there is no A-Life to speak of) comprises of between five and seven sections, and for each, there are four moods - 0 (default happy), 1 (ecstatic), 2 (indifferent) and 3 (annoyed). Defeating Nightmaren, hatching eggs in front of Nightopians etc. raises the mood, dashing at or killing Nightopians etc. lowers it.
There are two ways you can check this:
1) Pause, then press L+R+Y at the same time to view the "DSS Info" (a string of numbers, default zeroes, 0000000 for Spring Valley), or
2) the Melody Box in Christmas NiGHTS, by selecting that particular level, albeit ordered 1-0-2-3
The reason for Spring Valley's music not being default (i.e. 0000000) in this video is because of a pre-existing A-Life file from a previous game - it's actually 0303000, not surprising given the number killed in front of our eyes in just that one level. :) Improving mood can be frustrating, however, as the happier the Nightopians get, the more likely they can be in the way of your paraloops, so you must either abort such loops and in turn ruin your score, or risk killing one or two.
NIGHTS é pura nostalgia, do início ao fim ❤️👏
This is one of those games where you can replay the levels over and over again just for a high score for fun.
Back in the day,the Sega Saturn was considered the definitive 32-bits console.There were many great games,like Virtua Cop,A lot of remade Sega Genesis and Mega Drive games,not to mention exclusive games like this one and Virtua Fighter 2.Did you know...the Sega Saturn is more powerful than the PS1?But this was exactly the reason why it failed,because it was incredibly hard to produce games for it.I guess Sony won fair and square...Final Fantasy VII,MGS,Medal of Honor,they're all great.
The load times for FFVII were horrendous.
Being a kid growing up in the 90s and transitioning from 2D to 3D console video games truly made you feel like you were part of something special and revolutionary, and it was!
This game is extremely satisfying for some reason
On of the most graphical games of all time to this very day!
This soundtrack is so heavenly
OMG! I remember this game, it's bringing back into a time I miss so much lol. The 90s was such an amazing era
Here we see very good use of the Saturn's separate processor for 2D backgrounds.
I played this game once when I was like 6 emulated on my uncle's pc and 12 years later, I still remember it. Thank you uncle for making me play this game and REZ
That damn clock 😂
This game was the greatest one which scattered many dreams.
I got this game in the XBOX live gold many, many years ago, my father also played this on his Sega Saturn when he was young, I don't know how this game got forgotten, I really like it, especially the OSTs.
Despite the early 3D graphics being somewhat dated, I think that the game's colorful artistic style still shines through, nonetheless.
Well it looks like I come back every couple of years to comment, lol. Now playing the remastered version on my XB series X. Nice to still be able to load this classic up and play through it!
Imagine if they made a new nights that was first person for a vr system
that would be incredible :) always love flying dreams, hate that I always forget 70% of em.
Vomit... Vomit everywhere.
Jake McConaha Try not to vomit challenge
Jake McConaha Imagine how odd whatching Nights in 1st person while holding Puffy chest or facing. Gillwing in front of him lol
How about Teleroboxor? Even the original could have been enough to give you PTSD from the likes of exploding cracked screen or drill hat grinding you up.
I am not gonna lie, when I bought this game with the 3D controller, I couldn't get past the title. But since I bought it, I am like "I'll give a shot." Soon as I started playing, I couldn't stop. Really interesting game. Definitely give it a try.
NiGHTS into Dreams. The game that the Saturn desperately needed.
But we don't deserved...
@@milesr4609 huh?
A quote from the Dark knight.
Remember trading my mega drive and mega cd in for the Saturn and this game was included and I loved it reminds me of better times in life for some reason
omg ! so much nostalgy ... our father bought for me and my brother on x mass 1996 sega satur +night christmas edition , it just destroyed our minds , thx a lot for giving back awsome memories , ....
The best Graphics in the world can't make a game fun... a fun game makes a game fun, And this game was all kinds of fun. One my Favorite games of all time 🖤
