Saturn Month: NiGHTS Into Dreams

Well here we are people, we are finally getting into the meat of Saturn month, the greats of the system, and we're starting out with NiGHTS Into Dreams!

If you're the kind of person who never played this one, but you played the one on the Wii, good lord you are missing out.  The Wii NiGHTS game isn't exactly awful but it's missing a lot of the original charm I think.

There is a plot that I bet most people don't give a shit about, but for those that do....there are two kids who are basically crap at life, and because they are crap at life they have nightmares.  There is also some evil prick who resides in the dream world, stealing dream energy to take it over.  He creates Nights who then decides "fuck this" and rebels.  The kids, who end up in the dream world hold dream energy that cannot be captured by the evil prick, so it is up to you as nights, to harness this and go ruin the evil pricks shit.....I think

It's been a LOOOONG time since I played NiGHTS, and even then the story isn't a big part of it.  It's more about acrobatics and showing off how good the Saturn was at pulling off busy, colourful 3D environments.  Aside from the awesome gameplay which I'll show you in the upcoming video, the game just oozes charm and personality.  The design, the music, the little details in each stage all come together to create something really unique, so I'm hoping to get the video out on this one ASAP.

If you have not seen this version, I think you're in for something special, watch this space!
