it's uhhhh
kinda fun once you get used to it
weird as frick though
definitely looked cool for its time. i think if it was a game that was immediately apparent how to play i would've been more interested.
This game is fricking moronic lol. Yeah it’s cool and aesthetic but it’s also really gay and fruity. The game also fricking sucks really bad. I can’t believe sega thought this was going to make them look cool. They did this and not a sonic game.
They were smoking meth during saturn years.
You need to have a high IQ to truly understand NiGHTS. I'm sadly not surprised anons don't get it. >Nidcom: NiGHTS into Dreams has a lot of symbolism, you and Sonic Team did a lot of research into dream studies and Jung's Dream Archetypes. It is speculated that each character in NiGHTS is influenced by a specific Archetype. What Archetype inspired NiGHTS, if any? >Yuji Naka: NiGHTS, a hero, originated in “Shadow” which means another side of the self as defined by Jung in his dream definitions. Elliot and Claris, who have strayed from the dream world, originated from Jung’s Animus and Anima. Persona items that appear in the Wii version originate from Jung's dream theory, too. >Nidcom: Many years ago I read an interview with Sonic Team where the sources of dream research were discussed. Jung and Freud were mentioned but a third name 'Friedrich Holtz' was said to be central to NiGHTS into Dreams. Can you tell us a bit about this man and how his work influenced the game? We have tried to research Holtz for many years yet we have found little about him. >Yuji Naka: He is one of the psychologists who followed Jung's thoughts. He too defined dream elements as much as Jung, and showed us "another world" which we called the “Dream World.” NiGHTS also reflects the thoughts of scholars who researched these dreams.
Virtua On?
Keio?
The fighting games?
Bomberman?
Sega rally?
Dragon Force?
Gungriffon?
Shining Wisdom?
Beyond Oasis?
Magic Rayearth?
Dark Savior?
The other shooters?
They could have gone even more experimental and dropped the arcadey repeat-the-cycles-asap-over-and-over to make something even more special. With things like the kids 3D sections on foot or hatching the eggs it's clear these beautiful imaginative worlds had potential to facilitate more interesting things like unique story-based missions, puzzles, combat(outside of bosses), etc if only they were not held back by the same repetitive gameplay loop.
Also, the pirouettes should have definitely been better integrated into the game by having gameplay applications outside of increasing your score in the bonus ribbon sections. Speed boosts, dodging, special "jumping", attacks, etc. There was potential there to have some really complex stylish mario64-tier movement controls.
It's more like a demo/novelty than a full game. Played the PS2 version for a few hours until I got good grades, but dropped it soon after. I find it too dull and limited. I'm not really into score attack games so probably not for me. It's not even in the same league as the big hitter ps1/n64 games. No wonder Saturn tanked.

It's not called "Nights" by accident.

your comment about my favorite saturn game is very hurtful. you need to show some respect for other people's feelings
I rather fly through rings with Superman. At least that game is so shitty it challenges you to overcome it instead of putting you to sleep.
Least masochist /vr/ poster
uwu

It’s a gay baby game
In your top 5, then
Saturn doesn’t even have 5 games worth playing.
1. Die Hard Arcade
2. Panzer Dragoon
3. Panzer Dragoon Zwei
4. Panzer Dragoon Saga
5. ….uh…not Mr Bones that’s for sure.
I’m not counting import games either, I’m counting games someone could actually buy without jumping through hoops in USA.
VF2 and Fighters Megamix are worth playing.
Virtua On?
Keio?
The fighting games?
Bomberman?
Sega rally?
Dragon Force?
Gungriffon?
Shining Wisdom?
Beyond Oasis?
Magic Rayearth?

Filler time-wasting content is not interesting
It's incredibly soothing, therapeutic and a delight to play. A healing game.
Literally listening to the soundtrack as I found this thread
Haven't played the actual game in months. The GBA minigame is fun though

what a fricking knucklehead
most overrated saturn game ever released
Compared to what? Dragon Force? Battle Garegga?
